The Personal Scoreboard I Never Put Down

Ever have a set of little emotional storms arrived on the beach of your placid summer life forming into a perfect storm? A perfect emotional storm that the inner child maybe isn’t so willing to let go of though adult you could logically explain away? That happened to me this weekend, and being a sort […]

More Than Music: What I Learned In A Gay Men’s Choir

Lately in my feeds are a lot of videos of gay male choirs and it has me reflecting. Being part of a gay men’s choir wasn’t just about singing. It carried more emotional weight than a performance. It was my first venture into coming out that felt like a real a big risk besides the […]

Will The Real Messiah Please Stand Up!

I was having a chat with ChatGpt and did some research too about a question I had on Messiahs. Most everyone knows by now that Jesus wasn’t the only one who claimed to be one. I had also heard before that during his time there were many naming their children with the name Jesus and […]

Ecclesiastes 3:1-11 A Time for Everything1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: 2a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and […]

The Lost Art of Art-ing

I saw an advertisement for a university program offering a degree for writing for film, TV and advertising. I wonder how many people went for a degree in these areas and are making a living at it today? I bet not too many. I have a belief in my twisted head that the arts can’t […]

If you been in the gay dating world for any length of time you have seen several lists, some short and others longer, of what can be considered “likes”, “attractions”, or “standards” that someone is looking for. A type perhaps. You may see things like: No fems! Be drama free! Be normal! No obese guys […]

My 3 Greatest Encounters With God

I was thinking about this, so I thought to share them with you and they are by far, my top 3 experiences with something divine that I don’t think can be explained away. They aren’t my only ones but the more intense ones that stand out to me. I’m sure someone can try to explain […]

With Your Whole Heart

The Attack on The Heart I was driving from Detroit to the Grand Rapids this weekend to see a group of students I work with virtually, and was doing the primitive nature walk through radio channels. I came across a beautiful song I hadn’t heard in a long time. I could finally sit back, enjoy […]

Walking on the Shards of Shattered Dreams

It’s my birthday in about an hour, and I will turn 56. Year markers themselves stopped having their significance for me after 50. I realized the scam of it all by then. >Your 20s were supposed to be the best years of your life–they were my worst. .>Your 30’s? Uh oh! You are close to […]

A New Year /A New Rest From Stress?

Dec. 31st. New Years approaches. We can tend to think about how we can “fix” ourselves to make us better than the year before. Dreams that often include over commitments, which don’t really last but sound good to the ego. It is what fills up my gym parking lot from January through to early March. […]
