- AMRI LASHAMAYIM ECHETZE ET HAYAM ELECH ACHARAYICH AD SOF HA'OLAM -
I will soar to the sky, cross the sea
I will follow you to the end of the world.
Hi Guys, Thought I'd let you know, That I'm currently directing, a feature film called: 'Time Blessed'
(This Film will kick off SEVENTEEN part series)
Which will Eventually be avalible free on request, from the NHS (English Health Service)
Its to help children like me ~ Who are very, very mixed up about their sexuality.
The story follows, Two Celtic Warrior Boys, Kincaid and Dansrak as they travel the british isles, protecting the greater good.
But as they travel, this Isle of myth and legend, We see our two heroes grow ever closer, as they deal with the trials of been a warrior and a teenager.
The story incorporates a mixture of, Myth, legend, Spectacular Martial Arts and most importantly the love between 2 friends.
The story starts in Celtic Britain, and then into the present...
Information, Photos and the finished film will be avalible on my Mini-site (When its up and Running) at the following URL:
- http://Www.timeblessedmovie.webitsmart.com -
Take Care guys,
David Anderson, age 15

are you also the guy who wrote to smith about possibly using JHS?
It sounds an intriguing project

Yes I did Write to smith, to see if we could probably use JHS, But beens as we didn't get any reply, I had to come up with a storyline in a very short amount of time.
It was a shame, JHS was such a magical story that really helped, me.

So Now we have a story called 'Time Blessed'
Its about two celtic warriors, Kincaid of Ka'ul and Dansrak of Cauloin whose pasts have always been entwined, They have only one destiny - Each others.
The Feature film, Will outline the story and kick off a series of twenty - four mini-films (Each Lasting 45 Minutes)which will span their lives together.
Its is quite an emotional series as the two warrior boys, discover their love for one another, and against all the odds will fight so that they may stay together, until they are forever, together embraced within the arms of eternity.
The film + series deals alot with Destiny, time and sprituality.
I won't give to much away, as it will spoil it.
But it is truly a magical story, of a Spritual and enchanting story, made more interesting with its Hopefully, spectacular fight scenes, emotional storyline and above the undying love between two boys, who discover that they really never have been apart...
So What do you think?
Please any advice, would be as always gratefully appreciated.

I suspect it would have been too hard to do JHS, you know. The story is so US Centric that you would have been hard pressed to find the same bigotry inthe UK, let alone the settings and situtations.
How does the NHS fund such things?

Yeah Guess you right, best left how it is , Then I couldn't kill the magic that lies in JHS.
Like I said, its a no budget film. that will not make any money its centre focus is in helping people.
Everyone working on my film has kindly volounteered.
Shalom

I understand that people think I know Hebrew, The only reason I know some hebrew, because the burial song in my feature film is sung in hebrew.
But, blessed Rabbi, if I can still talk to you I would appreciate it.

Shalom, David, from a friendly Christian. I'll still listen, though. I'd guess your faith is important to you, and that's good. Gay or not, Jewish or Christian, you're still welcome.

Thanks for been sounderstanding.
My main problem is really the fact that, my brother was killed in 1999, and since then I have always felt that my brother and God were helping me through life, But when I got the age of about 11, and I started to have these gay feelings, I became scared, I know this sounds stupid but, I want to see my brother again, I do not want to go to hell, I don't want God to be angry with me, However I don't want to lie to myself and pretend that I do not have this Gay feelings << Or is that exactly what I'm supposed to do?
I hope you can help me.
David

to help with the going to hell part I have several thoughts for you, but they are all based around "If we were made by God, he didn't make a mistake". You may find http://www.truluck.com helpful. I joined his mialing list too. And just when I am abnout to leave it he sends a gem through.
Also have a look at http://iomfats.org/spirit/ and consider emailing Dusty

I have checked with my friend the rabbi. Your religion matters not one jot to him, what matters is that you wish to talk. Email him and see if there is a meeting of minds.

I used to feel much the same way. Let me see if I can help with that.
First, you are not stupid for these things, for being confused and wanting to do what is right. Your faith, your beliefs, are real and important to you. But perhaps, like most of us, we are the ones who misunderstand the bigger message God has, instead of getting stuck on specific rules.
Your love for your brother is also very real. Of course you miss him and want to see him again some day. It is good you and he were close. I miss my parents. I can only imagine what it would be like to have a brother and then lose him, since I had no brothers and sisters.
You began to have gay feelings, and that's scary and confusing in itself, certainly with what the Bible says. You don't want God to be angry and you wonder what to do about your gay feelings. Do you try to ignore them, bottle them up, and never act on them? Do you pray for healing, a cure, for whatever it is that causes them, and wonder why your faith, or whatever, can't quite get there? Do you conceal the truth, and thus feel untruthful and unfaithful? Or do you accept your feelings and deal with the consequences?
I made many comments to Dewald / Moogle / Blumoogle here that you should read, if you haven't. I was talking about these same issues. Let me add some things.
* Translations and interpretations are imperfect. Words and whole cultures change over years, even more over thousands of years. We can only see a little bit of the whole tapestry or the whole elephant. (Do you know those analogies?) So even the best understanding of God that we can have isn't the whole truth of God. That just means we have room to grow, a lot of room. I think he must get really impatient, sometimes angry or sad, and sometimes amused at us, like a parent with a fumbling little baby or a rebellious teen.
* God does not condemn us for how we were born or for conditions that develop in our lives.
* God does not condemn us for what other people do to us.
* God does not condemn us for being friendly, loving, caring, or committed.
* God knows every detail about us, even what we've forgotten, even what we never knew.
* God knows the truth about us, even if we hide it from others, or from ourselves.
* If God knows the truth, who are we to conceal it? -- Yet, for our own safety, there are times when it is wise (even righteous) to conceal a thing. There are also times when it is best to be open about it, even if it is considered wrong or unsafe. -- I am not saying all gays must come out. I am saying that it is important to be out to yourself, to accept yourself and accept that God knows and loves you. This is a hard lesson to learn.
* If God does not condemn us or judge us, who are we to judge or condemn ourselves or others? Who is anyone else, to say it's wrong or we're wrong? If I can be alright with others who are (or who might be) gay, if they can be alright with me, then perhaps the lesson is that God is also alright with us, with you and with me as individuals, and we are alright with him. This is a hard lesson to learn too.
* Well, what if it *is* all those awful things people say it is, what if the translations are correct? Hold on, don't bail, I have a point here. God accepted, forgave, and still made room for sinners. The stories in the Bible tell of people who did some very bad things, yet they did far better things in their lives too, that kept their people alive and their faith alive, and so they are pointed out as examples of what a godly person is like, despite their faults. God even forgave people who laughed at him, got mad at him, disobeyed him, doubted him, and even denied him.
* If God can be OK with all that, can't we?
I've made a lot of claims here. I don't claim I know what God really thinks; I'm quite sure I don't understand most of it. I am just trying to pass on what I think I've learned from others.
I am unsure about things too. I spent years, wasted years, trying to resolve the paradox of what I'd been taught versus my personal beliefs versus the way my body and heart felt, as much as I tried. There were times I despaired of any solution and didn't like the face in the mirror. But I had people who cared more than I knew, and apparently, God had something better in mind all along, I just couldn't understand that.
I have a long way to go. You may think what I've written is smart and sensitive. I've gotten comments like that lately. I honestly don't know how to accept them. I never was rabidly homophobic, nor was I raised that way. Yet I grew up feeling bad for having gay feelings and for wanting to express them, even when I stood up for others. I grew up feeling alone and lonely. I didn't realize, until I started reading and until I started visiting forums online, how very common all that was, for people like me, like us.
You'll see I'm still trying to figure this all out.
Just be yourself. Be the best person you can be. And don't get upset when you fall short of the goal. Just pick yourself up and keep going.
And remember that you're not in this alone. There are other people to lean on.
You're welcome to e-mail or IM me, David.
