God just makes me smile! I was just looking at my blog posts and thinking man…I really need to get to my next entry. It has been brewing in my mind off and on for a number of days.

Born Gay?
Here goes! As I respond to this question, I sincerely recognize there is quite a range of views and thoughts on this topic. As a result I do want to approach the subject sensitively and with a Biblical view. Many people’s stories of their sexuality are prefaced with statements such “I have always felt thisContinue reading “Born Gay?”

Smile! :)
The start of my day. It started early at 4 a.m. I abruptly awoke from a bad dream that just left me MAD! Although it was just a dream the angry emotions were real and lingered. I did get back to sleep after some time. Meanwhile I was also hoping for a 2 hour lateContinue reading “Smile! :)”
