Lesbian Pastors Get Married In The United States

 Two lesbian pastors, identified as Pastor Twanna Gause and her partner, Pastor Vanessa Brown have reportedly gotten married in the United states.
According to reports, they were led by Bishops Levi Richards and Eugene Gathers, both of the Fellowship of Affirming Ministries
Bishop Richards said;
“She’s our spiritual daughter,”
Both men walked Ms. Gause down the aisle, a role she had initially hoped would be accepted by her father, the Rev. Sam Gause Sr., a Pentecostal minister who lives in Atlanta.
But Mr. Gause, citing “differences in theological beliefs,” refused his daughter’s invitation.
“My father would not come here because he does not believe in same-sex marriage,” Ms. Gause said.
“He told me the devil tricked me into this, and that if we had been married in biblical times, we would have been stoned to death.”
When contacted by the New York Times, he said;
“Twanna very well knows I’m not for that kind of lifestyle,” he said by phone in a calm and stern tone several days after the wedding.
“I believe that God wanted us to procreate through a natural process, and by no means am I happy about this because it is unnatural,” he said.
“I look at homosexuality as a mental disorder. If I start to tell you that I am an elephant, and start to behave as an elephant, that’s my choice, I choose to become an elephant. But you would probably choose to call a mental institution.”
Mr. Gause, long affiliated with the Center of Hope Church of God in Christ in Riverdale, Ga., said he had no immediate plans to contact his daughter.He was also disappointed her mother,his ex-wife attended the wedding.
“I will talk to her at some point, I suppose, if she calls me, but I will not initiate the call,” he said. “I do have some words for her that she needs to hear.
I’m not going to condemn her or judge her because I don’t have that authority, but judgement has already been established by God.”
When asked about Mr. Gause’s absence at the wedding reception, an elegant affair at il Tulipano in Cedar Grove, N.J., Bishop Richards said simply: “God has a way of honoring us when others won’t.”
Mary Ellen Brown, did not mince words when talking about her ex-husband’s refusal to attend.
“He has no right to judge them,” she said. “I tried to get him to come here tonight but it was a losing battle.
He asked me why I would even bother showing up, and I said to him, ‘All you need to remember is that Twanna is my daughter, and I love her, and I have her back no matter what she does, and that’s why I’ll be there.’”

But, how much is too much pressure? If you are too hard on yourself you may be doing more harm than good. Do any of these signs sound familiar? 1. Setting unrealistic expectations Setting the bar high is one thing, but too high? It can actually be a motivation killer.

But no one is the most elite at everything they do.  Get to know your strengths, and leave room for being inferior in certain situations. If you have...
