I am angry! I have had to work through this, because I still have remnants of the religion of my youth, that say as a Christian, I should be “calm and loving”. There are a lot of reasons to be angry, today. In fact I have changed from a self-proclaimed “news junky” to a news … Continue reading Sanctified Anger…..
In times like these….
I know these are very stressful times and many are simply having a difficult time, coping or knowing where do we go from here. Many in the faith community start with platitudes and their "All Knowingness" moronic answers.

Now I am not speaking of anti-science or just naive faith. I am speaking of, things in … Continue reading Places and Action! plus surrender…
What did disqualify, now qualifies!
There was a time that I finally came out to myself. What do I mean by that. Well it is possible to deny so deeply, that you do not realize that you are gay.
