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...
Waiting vs. Doing
22 May 2013
" I can't wait until....". If I had a nickel for every time these words issued from my mouth I would be a very rich and independent woman...teehee. For a while mow the Scripture of Isaiah 40:31 has se up camp on the edge of my conscience and has been raiding my very...
Coming Out!
13 May 2013
Coming Out, how could 2 simple words brought together bring fear, nervousness, pride and defiances? In a very unusual move I went to Merriam-Webster to try and define the phrase. This is what I came up with:
Definition of COME OUT

Seems like everytime I get in the yard Daddy sets me up. My yard is full of many things both wanted and not so much. Carolyn stopped by yesterday and made a typical gardener observation that she could tell the difference between a flower and a weed. Now as I am sitting in the garden...
Cliff Notes in the Bible
6 May 2013
I know it is a controversial title but this is really the impression I got. Once again out in the garden working a few mornings ago when all these old Bible texts started wandering through my mind and it isn't very hard to mess with my head in early morning...
For the record
4 May 2013
NOTE: This entry was initially a response on a chat site to a sister's post concerning my entry "Pruning and other fun stuff". As I started this response I came to a point of having to honestly re-evaluate my own beliefs and how I share them.
Rachel has been a very...
Pruning and other fun stuff
2 MAy 2013
It always amazes that in these times of such great techniclogical and educated advances that life seems to continually use the simple and mundane things in life to challenge us. I have athousand related thoughts rambling through my mind so don't expect a...
The follies of Apologetics
19 April 2013
Back on April 2, 2013 I posted a new entry onto my journal and many of the online blogs I keep. I received several varied responses to it and was particularly moved by one from a sister named Rachel who shared her personal feelings about it. First let me...
Living in the House of Mirrors
2 April 2013
Back when I was just a wee lass ( at least on the inside) my parents would gather up all of us kids and take us to the amusement park. It was called "Fountain Ferry" and unfortunately was closed in the 60s rather than allow it to become integrated...
The Question... Who Am I ?
21 March 2013
I didn't realize the date until I typed it, my beloved wife passed away very unexpectedly five years ago today. Somehow the title seems most appropiate in light of the day. Genevieve always knew there was a woman, or a feminine spirt, within me and she...
Resetting Expectations
10 March 2013
I was watching a news program a few days ago and one of the politicians being interviewed used the statement "We need to reset our expectations" and that phrase burned itself into my memory. Pasul wrote "When I was a child I did the things of a child but when...
Inner Feelings and Emotions...good and bad
6 March 2013
I am not sure where this is going. My emotions have been on the roller coaster from hell for months and are so incredibly unpredictable. I guess this season started going into the Holiday season and has never stopped. I would love to blame...
The problem with Rejection...and Denial
4 March 2013.
Well I will start with the good news, on this date in 2009 in the wee hours of the morning I was awakened to Charlie,my former false persona abdicating the throne of my life and running to parts unknown never to be seen again. Charlena my...
Being a follower of Jesus Christ-revisited
I March 2013
As the title implies this entry has to do with my own spiritual walk but also what I believe the Bible tells us in the 4 Gospels. If you aren't drawn to such a post then please understand upfront what to expect.
Since the cradle I have been...
Meandering Streams and Wandering Thoughts.
21 February 2013
Set down this evening about half lost in thoughts and daydreams and the other half reliving the reality of the recent season. As if by cue as I get to my journal site I find they have changed the writing format to a new one which...
follow up entry ( next mornning) Well it is morning once again and this ongoing epiphany continues to unfold. As we talked over my first cup of coffee I began seeing that we all are plagued with this thing called illusions. It is similar to a master magician's stage performance where things seem...
The problem with filters...a sequel to previous post
12 Febuary 2013
Scripture says a wife is a helpmeet but what it doesn't state is she can be your conscience, a mirror or fount of wisdom and practicality. Myralee is all of those and more, sometimes when she speaks it is like a surgeon's...
A call to Arms...and Knees
9 February 2013
How do I begin this? First let me state unequivicably fhis will be a spiritual post so if that might offend you then read somewhere else. In ongoing discussions on Christian Forum I contine to see a very typical reaction to my being a transexual and on...
Finding My Father's Heart
7 February 2013
Over the lasr several months I have been on both a spiritual journey and a quest. Having spent a lot of time on two christian web sites with open blogs and forums I have been re-acquainted with all the doctrinal beliefs and persuasions, most of which are...
Visions and Warriors
21 January 2013
Good evening on this fine day of remembering Martin Luther King Jr. and not just his dying but more importantly his living. He was one of a very rare group of people who felt strongly enough about a vision to go after it and walked in a wisdom that far...
