: : : : Matthew Shepard was brutally murdered in October of 1998. Here is a link to a site which features photos and Bible verses as well as a video message from Matthew's mother. I will warn you the video is short, but the whole idea is to keep Matt's memory alive. So, feel free to visit from time to time. Love, Bill
: : : Here's another site which contains a guestbook.

: hiya..i know this has happened a long time ago..but this has been on my heart for awhile and more lately..i wonder how many mats we pushed away and dont understand. or really care to i have a close friend who was attacked for being like mat.i have a few friends who are transgender who are not accepted into churches because they are medical/clinical/physcoligical different they do love jesus so much but they sit alone because they are " sinners evil perverts" they are not they are humans who break and cry laugh and want love real love i do feel a lot of them never asked for this life to be this way .none the less how do we show love to these one how do we cover them when they want to end it all how do we listen to them..i wonder if like in bible writing days if christ would be seen at matts house hanging with his friends if he would be seen letting a transexual cry all over him. i wonder if we could do that and not care if the "modern church" or our church families see us let some transexual cry on us because they are breaking.. yes this does bother me that this did happen to a man named matt and others we dont know. just because we destroy what we dont understand and hate where we are afraid to ask questions or understand...please think and pray for matt and others ask God who we say we love to bring these into our lives and really give a care not just a social bandaid but a real honest care...who knows what can happen.....
btw
the way for those who read this when i used " " i was using this in regards to what i have heard in so many churches and outside the church i was using " " in reagrds to other peoples feelings what people say assuming they know everything about all people and throw all people into the same boat...since i do have some friends who are homosexual transgender and transsexuals i cant call all of them that they are not perverts etc some unfournately have made a bad name for these human beings having society lump them in one boat kinda like world does with " christians" i hope explained this correct......
