No Shame

I’m tired of keeping it a secret. There’s hidden sin in my life, crouching in the dark recesses of my past, begging to not be exposed. But I refuse to allow it to shame me any longer. I have herpes. I’m not proud to be a carrier of the herpes virus. I’m not trying to justify the promiscuous lifestyle I led as a teenager that resulted in my contracting the virus. But, as a writer, a Christian, and a self-appointed proclaimer of truth, I cannot allow any part of my life to be withheld from public scrutiny.
