The Frisbee Of Love: Ready To Catch It?

I recently watched a film called The Jesus Revolution starring Kesley Grammar of Cheers and Fraiser fame about the Jesus movement that sprung up in San Francisco in the 1970s. This movement ultimately grew two of the nation’s largest churches, Calvary Chapel and Harvest Christian Fellowship. The true spark of this movement that set 100,000’s […]

Is There A Path To A Spirit?

I saw this quote in the picture below and I love it. In the crazy, burdensome, busyness of life, I lost my ability to really make any much of a practice of being still to tap into a “world of magic things”. Stopping to read anything of much length. Stopping to enjoy nature. Stopping to […]

Does Anything Matter?

Recently, if you followed my social media at all, I’ve been through a heavy shitstorm of challenges and just all-around bad news and bad luck. I’ve been fighting to push through to get back to my old self, to try on gratitude and a growth mindset about it all. It’s been near impossible, but then […]

Non-Inspirational Sayings

Betrayed by Human Hands Backstabbed by my fellow man Changing lives for the better Even so, here is your termination letter. Coming out to your aid Pinning me behind a cyber blockade Friending me because I seem like a good bloke Turning on me when you can get applause for the joke. Rejecting me for […]

Stuck In A Play I Didn’t Write

I’m not supposed to be here I wanted to be over there! You know, living that life Doing those things! Dreaming big and Accomplishing big things but I’m stuck in a play I didn’t write Where the main character is a hero for others Except for himself A victim on too many nights And the […]

The Chase for Masculinity

I wonder as a gay man why it seems to me that so many put visible aspects of masculinity on such a high pedestal as though somehow true masculinity is a physical by-product to be worshipped or to become it by mere physical expression? Is a man with a missing leg less masculine? Or a […]

On The Darker Side Of The Moon

On the darker side of the moon, Where a lot of bad things happen to you, Where people say what can’t be is, And where God gives you more than you can handle, And the nightmare repeats, and you travel around the lunar mountain yet again, From lessons, you’ve yet to learn. Where you have […]

The Barbie, The Brobie, and The Bearbie–Who Won?

This weekend I had a dilemma because there were multi-events going on around the new Barbie movie coming out. Gaydom is all aflame about using this new Barbie movie starting the studly Ryan Gosling as Ken as a platform. One event was bear themed but in a Barbie way (Barbie with chest hair? Ew no! […]

What Does “Living Your Best Gay Life” Mean to You?

“LIVING MY BEST GAY LIFE!!” I see this posted on social media here and there, and I have mixed feelings about the statement. First, it is often, in my experience, posted by people showing themselves partying it up or slutting it up somewhere. To each their own, I’m not condemning that but is that “the […]

on the wrong side of the war

A long time ago, I was a FUNDAMENTALIST Christian. I saw myself as a soldier in a spiritual battle. Set apart for a special purpose, attacked by the Devil and attacking the Devil’s plans. Different from your average Joe who didn’t know the “real” deal going on behind the scenes. Average Joe’s, “Muggles” in Harry […]
