Today I finally worked up the courage to drag myself to a local MOPS meeting for the first time since moving to our new town. First, MOPS (Moms of Preschoolers) is an international mom group that meets locally 2x a month, designed for stay-at-home moms to connect, fellowship, and support each other. I used to … Continue reading Vulnerability

L.O.V.E. (1-17-16)
“Beloved, let us love one another. For love is of God, and every one that loves, is born of God, and knows God. He that loves not, knows God not, for GOD IS LOVE.” 1 John 4:7-8 “Love her, love her, love her! If she favors you, love her. If she wounds you, love her. … Continue reading L.O.V.E. (1-17-16)
Saying Goodbye (2-22-16)
This past year has definitely seen its share of changes. Mostly good. Some hard. Some instant and some over time. My challenge this year has been to focus on the positive, and surround myself with people who support us and make our lives easier. At some point acknowledging the challenges, the losses, and relationships that … Continue reading Saying Goodbye (2-22-16)
The Big Day (4-11-16)
Wedding day thoughts: I love this girl so much! I remember the day I knew I would gladly, easily, readily spend the rest of my life with her. At that point we were only friends. We've been through so much to be together. Each day I reflect on how unbelievable it really is that she … Continue reading The Big Day (4-11-16)

Our house has very little storage space, and when my wife originally moved in we "converted" (in other words, threw some cheap clothing racks into) the only storage room (unfinished with wood shelves hanging off the walls because the previous … Continue reading In the Closet (5-27-16)
Well Played (6-12-16)
I finally got one. My first "you're going to hell for your lifestyle" message. I've been pretty lucky. The worst I've gotten before was, "well, you're sinning, but we'll try to love you anyway." I've actually wondered if this type of message even really existed anymore. In light of the events in Orlando this weekend, … Continue reading Well Played (6-12-16)
Coming Out Thoughts (Part 1) 9-6-16
I guess it's unusual to realize you are gay when you are 38 years old. That's what I've heard anyway. I've been asked if I had any idea before that and I can answer no. I'd never experimented or had thoughts that I tried to pretend didn't exist. Of course, looking back, there were definitely … Continue reading Coming Out Thoughts (Part 1) 9-6-16
