I’m watching OWN – Our America with Lisa Ling and here’s what I’m hearing. “I have chosen to live my life through the filter of my faith, rather than the filter of my sexuality.” – what a powerful statement by a leader within Exodus International.  He also said the struggles he has “aren’t any different […]

“When my mother and father forsake me, the Lord will take care of me” – psalm 27: 10 david knew what he was talking about.  i like that he said “when” not “if” because he knew that to be forsook by one’s own parents was more than a possibility. i realize it too. “A man […]

i think i have a thing for musicians.  my first boyfriend was a bass player. he had mad talent.  whenever i hear the bass line in a song i see him on stage playing with his band and the thought makes me smile.  i can see him clear as day standing in “the pit” at […]
