Be Radical- Be Still
9 September 2013
My pastor has been speaking of being “radical” several times recently and it has like watching that butterfly struggling to be released from its’ constricting cocoon. As I have reflected on her journey it would appear, at least to me, that the TEN...
[COLOR="DarkOrchid"]“I am restoring My Family…not reinventing religion”
4 September 2013
Have you ever had a resounding word in your spirit that, instead of growing fainter over time, becomes more intense and filled with urgency? There has been a Word, this Word, that has been growing within...
Can anyone tell me an honest answer? We were created in the womb by a loving Father and are brought forth with the gift of free will from Daddy resident within us and then man comes along and tries to corral us and control us with religion and yet try to tell us it is God's will for us to walk...
A Child of Promise or of an Unfulfilled Destiny
26 August 2013
Please remember this is my personal journal and at times, like today, my entries are a baring of my soul and spirit not only to myself but to my Loving Father in hopes of being made clean and whole once more. It is a story of...
Rethinking Family
21 August 2013
“Through several incidents that have recently happened I have found myself re-examining what it REALLY means to be family or a sister or brother. It seemed like the word is lost in a sea of blah and ambiguity and it has become just a hollow word without...
In the beginning- back to the basics
12 August 2013
This post was birthed in a homework assignment my pastor gave me Saturday night. She suggested I meditate and dig deeper than just the apparent in Genesis 1:1,2. Since the first time I stepped into the sanctuary for a service back in latter...
Spirit Trek- The Undiscovered Country
5 August 2013
Anyone who doesn’t believe God has a sense of humor should try camping out in my world. I was out in the yard bagging up yard waste and tying up fallen tree limbs for recycling tomorrow. I was half concentrating on the chore and half...
Off to the Races …sorta!
3 August 2013
Well after my last post I thought I was going to have a peaceful brain dead kind of evening. Around 8 I drew a nice hot bubble bath and sank down in it and just drifted off- literally. I awoke to s mental scene of the children with the banners at the TEN...
Rebooting and Reformatting
3August 2013
Well I survived all the nervousness and groundless fears this past Wednesday evening and shared a word Daddy had been speaking to my heart, Woke up Thursday after a long peaceful sleep ready to just veg out for a few days but the best laid plans of...
The Beauty of Silence
14 July 2013
There is a place of silent bliss that can only be found in complete surrender. It is a sacred silence that calms all our fears, our emotions and our feeble excuses to justify our failures and shortcomings. It is a haven and a refuge from the busyness and...
The Softness of Love
10 July 2013
There is a facet of our God that is seldom explored in any great depth and yet is probably the most important and intimate aspect of God a man or woman can experience. It is the softness of God's Love.
Tuesday morning I was awakened to a song titled "the...
God’s Empowerment-man’s foolishness
8 July 2013
I just woke up from a 12+ hour nap tore-energize my body from a day conference here in Louisville our church was honored to host. The conference, Flawless 2013, was aimed at reaching the LGBTQ community, their spouse, allies and supporters with one...
Stirrings in my heart
27 June 2013
This is one of those times when I need to sort out all the things going on inside and somehow settle them within myself. At this point the only thing I am sure of is the title…I think, teehee.
Yesterday Myralee and I sat up in our bed waiting for the...
June 23rd, 5:44Mistaken Identity? Get it right
23 June 2013
The Father has been speaking of a season of change arising on the horizon and there is one particular sound that keeps coming forth is that this is not a season for mistaken identities. In both my waking and sleeping hours that phrase...
Lien free, Debt free and Guilt Free
18 June 2013
This morning was a lazy one so I made some coffee and my Bible and retired to my hammock in the backyard. Usually there is something stirring in my spirit and I gravitate towards Scriptures that address the situation however this morning I just...
Accountability and Personal Integrity
16 June 2013
I never saw this one coming and am still trying to process it from my heart to my hard head. This may take some time! For weeks I had been looking forward to Pride weekend. My daughter, my grandson Tristan, her boyfriend, Myralee and I...
“Follow Me”
14 June 2013
I guess I should have expected this after being told I hadn’t been this way before but naiveté is sometimes one of my strong suits. Why is it so hard to embrace and obey such a simple offer and command? We create great institutions whose sole purpose is to over analyze...
Spiders, Flies and Human Nature
4 June 2013
My present wife, Myralee, and I have had numerous discussions concerning our decision to be faithful to one another in a monogamous relationship. It isn’t a matter of what we want but rather a real acknowledging of our former individual lifestyles...
“You have not walked this way before’
7,8 June 2013
Sounds ominous, doesn’t it? I thought so too the first time I heard Daddy speak it to my spirit Wednesday night after church. Myralee and I had just left the meeting and were heading back home. I was visibly bothered by something but just not...
Mythbusters…whistle blowing style
26 May 2013

Back in my former life I worked for a commercial construction company as a union carpenter and cabinetmaker. This company had a maintenance contract with a major tobacco products...
