Charlotte, this made me cry. I am awed how you can still see God. I question my belief daily because I no longer understand or can come up with a good reason why such evil and hatred exists and proliferates. I see things as random. Why so much hatred? Why so much poverty and suffering? Why so many good people having hard times and intolerance? Why do bad things happen to good people? Why are bad people ”winning”? How can people think God roots for one person over another? Why does trump exist?
When I do think I believe, I see what you see - we are all made in his/her image. We are “precious in (his) sight.” And even in my doubts, I believe in the two most important commandments: Love God, and love others as you love yourself. (I guess there are too many people who do not love themselves)
I am grateful that. You have shared your experiences.
Thank you Charlotte, for again pointing out the hypocrisy of the Fundegelicals.
The mental gymnastics they use to consider supporting Trump is more twisted than all the pretzels produced in PA. (Trust me, there are a lot of pretzel and potato chip factories in PA) And Trump now has the audacity to continue his grift with this group by selling Bibles. What will be next?
I love this post so much. I hope you don’t mind if I share in the hopes that some of the “Christians” in my life who seem to be full of hate will possibly read a message of love on Easter.
Thank you so much for everything you said. I’ve only known about Trans Visibility Day for three years and am so interested to know about it going back many more years. I’ll share that with my young trans nephew.

Amen, Sister.
Thank you for your quick and succinct statement. It is such a shame Republicans are so triggered.
Christ has risen indeed!

I can only say Amen!
Tell it.

I appreciate you, Charlotte. And as always, I see you. Happy Trans Day of Visibility!
Yes. This. As always, you're exactly on point.

He is Indeed! And God Bless you Charlotte for the woman and excellent human you are!
A perfect Easter message, Charlotte. Bless you.
