Recall jogging at West High School, preparing to enlist in the Army and go to Vietnam, and told my friend, if I die in Vietnam, my only regret would be I never had children.
By the grace of God, I returned home and married and had children. I thank God for my children. Have always loved them and I am very proud of them.
Some of my children are gay, but I love them, just as I am sure God does too! I believe they the right to marry who they love. I also believe God is about love, and He loves all His children, just as I love all my children, too!
