Scattering Ashes is a resource for Christian families confronting the reality of their loved one’s gay lifestyle. Joyce Smith Helyer takes the reader on a journey that changed her life when her brother began their midnight Christmas Eve conversation with these words, Joyce, I have something to tell you. As I waited expectantly for what he was going to say next, he paused, but then shifted the conversation. He tried again, but the same thing happened. I felt like he was trying to land an airplane in trouble and kept circling the airport looking for the best approach. His attempted landings kept falling short of the runway. A vague sense of uneasiness began to fill my mind … Little did I realize that my nice, typical Christian experience would be undergoing a significant change … Fear I could barely articulate almost overwhelmed me … Finally, I looked at my handsome, 26-year-old brother and knew the words he was having so much difficulty saying. Ron, are you trying to tell me you’re gay? His quiet response echoed across the living room. I thought you had it figured out.
