Others Say …

Charles Colson in The Good Life, Chapter 21 writes:

… I’ve thought long and hard about choosing to tell the following story of a man beset by same-sex attraction — a man who in the midst of living the gay lifestyle came to see the inherently disordered nature of the condition and chose to recover. It’s a difficult story to tell and one that contains so much brokenness that it may be challenging for some readers. I’ve decided it’s an important story to tell, however, precisely because this is the place where our culture’s blindness to the natural order has become the most willful. It’s not a story you’ll find being told in today’s mass media. To the media, people like Randy Thomas do not exist — or shouldn’t. But they do. Thousands of them. And if the placards our culture is plastering in our minds are to change and if the lies are to lose their power over us, then I must tell his story…

Randy is living proof of God’s grace and redemption. The Christian blogosphere became much richer when he joined it, and I’m glad he’s blogging for my side.

I’ll be frank, there are many things on which Randy Thomas and I disagree. For one, I don’t believe that homosexuality is a sin. That said, I appreciate Randy’s genuine concern and compassion where others have shown bigotry and hate. He earnestly wants both himself and others to lead fulfilling lives, and does his best to share what he feels has worked for him. Even though I don’t agree with his solution, he has some very helpful and insightful things to say, and should not be easily dismissed.

Despite Randy Thomas’s addiction to regrettably bad television, changing email addresses and beginning new blogs, he is a consistent and relentless pursuer of the constants that should fill all our lives: kindness, compassion, hope, faith, authenticity, and doing one’s best to walk as well as one can through a life in a broken world. A couple of things about Randy’s blogging that deserves recognition is his willingness to apologise sincerely if he’s been hasty in speech and the rarity with which that is necessary given the heat of the topics he addresses. Another is his eternal sense of adventure and fun, which I suspect he brings to most of his endeavors online or off.

I believe Randy Thomas to be the best blogger of the new century. His strong (and knowledgeable) opinions are well-balanced by his kindness and wit. Whenever it’s at all possible, Randy seeks to find some happy common ground with those who disagree with him. Even they can’t help but call him a friend!

I also know for a fact that Randy drinks all eight recommended glasses of water each day. If you take Randy on a roller-coaster, he makes the only sound which can be heard in space–where it was previously believed there was no sound. He sleeps with a teddy bear, but only because Princess Di’s final will and testament requires him to do so. Reincarnation doesn’t exist, but be that as it may, I’m convinced that one of our country’s first presidents was actually Randy Thomas. This may be attributed to the fact that Randy has traveled through time twice, which is also the reason we have leap years (long story).

Randy Thomas is a man of faith, commitment, and hope. His “servant’s heart” is evident in everything that he does, both personally and professionally. I am proud to call him a friend.

Thank you all for your kind words :). If you would like to add your thoughts to feed or tear down my ego please email me.
