Isaiah 56:4-5 For this is what the Lord says: To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, who choose what pleases me and hold fast to my covenant—to them I will give within my temple and its walls, a memorial and a name better than sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that … Continue reading Scripture Encouragement

Calling All Gay Christians
Church and it’s members have been on my heart the past few weeks, and I know my blogging skills are always better when I write about what I’m most passionate about in the moment. As you know, I’ve blogged about my faith before, and my background. I am a Christian, and while I grew up … Continue reading Calling All Gay Christians
Am I an Oxymoron? Living the Faith Part 1 (11-15)
Here’s me. Apparently a rare species. A paradox. An oxymoron. There are some people that don’t think I can be both. There are others that don’t think I should be both. There are even others that don’t know me as both. Obviously most of my friends and family now know that I am in love … Continue reading Am I an Oxymoron? Living the Faith Part 1 (11-15)
My Environmental Rant
The only thing I’ve found humorous the past few weeks on social media, besides getting a break from president craziness and the hurricanes, is the occasional post about the causes behind the severe weather we’ve been experiencing lately. Between the hurricanes and flooding and forest fires, seems like many are quick to jump backward in … Continue reading My Environmental Rant

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)

Now, before I delve, this is not a blog to get sympathy, or to garnish a bunch of people reassuring me that I'm a really great person or that someone should try … Continue reading I’m an…(3-7-16)
Praying For You! (3-22-16)
Recently an acquaintance informed me that upon learning about my situation, has started praying for me. Usually, prayer is considered a kind gesture, appreciated on any level. It struck me, kind of suddenly, how strange it feels to know that for perhaps the first time in my life, this type of prayer is not only … Continue reading Praying For You! (3-22-16)

They are conservative, the live in a tiny little town, they have been married for over 45 years, raised three kids on a single income so my mom could stay at home.
