Heartbroken...

What has this world come to? I am so sick to my stomach with everything that is going on around me. A few months ago one of my friends announced that she was getting a divorce because her husband wasn't interested in her but rather interested in the same sex. I feel so bad for her and the struggles she is going through and I feel even more horribly about the way she is handling it.  Today another friend announced she was also getting a divorce and once again my heart breaks.  But not nearly as much as my heart broke a few minutes ago when a very close friend.  One who I have admired for years came out and said he was gay. I am sick. I am mad. I am sad.  I am devastated. And I feel like a friend just died. I don't know how to handle this.  And how he can be ok with it all especially after all that he has been taught.  This completely blindsided me I would have never guessed especially with how strong of a testimony I know that he has.  It hurts me to know that he is giving everything up because of this choice he is making. It hurts to feel like I don't know him anymore and I don't want to hear his excuses.  I truly pray that he will get help.  And I hope and pray that are group of friends will pull together to get him out of this slump.
