My opportunity to share my journey out of the closet to being a liberated christian gay man. Some of my experiences I hope will help me express myself clearer, and perhaps help someone else.

Somewhere along our Holiday Stroll last weekend, both Kira and I remarked
that this year didn’t feel very Christmas-like, so it was reassuring to
know that...

Fear, trembling, and new paths ahead

I'm getting ready to move, to end a job, to get rid of most of my stuff,
and step into something new. And I don't know what it is. I'm trusting
i'll know...
Today I feature another song sung by John Legend (I am a fan) but also Alicia Keys. They sang this together at the tribute for the Beatles. There is significance to this song, in the words, "whispering words of wisdom Let it be" Do you have something in your life, your heart and mind today or this week you should just let it be?
Phil 4:6-7 "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication let your request be known to God, and the peace of God which we cannot comprehend will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus our Lord"
My paraphrase, Worry about nothing, prayer instead and give it to the father, and ho do thoughe will give you peace. Another way of saying it...give it to God and let it be.
That is not always easy to do though. You just do it as much as you have to in order to let it be.
We were made to love, such a truism! Love is the most important thing in life. Love for God, he created love. Love of family, friends, love for a life partner. This is why I think marriage for same sex couples who wish to be married is so important. It is one of the greatest expressions of love on earth.
An appropriate Song for the Monday after Communion Sunday in many churches. May this song bless you and may it being featured on this blog honor Our God Most High!
Welcome to another Monday. Today something a bit different... a classical song by a modern composer Music for 18 Musicians by Steve Reich.
I know I have not posted much here lately, too much going on and it seems not enough time to put into words here to express it all. I shall as I can.
Hope you enjoy the music.
Hope you had a good weekend, here its Monday again! So time for another Monday medley, I heard this song on the radio and liked it so I thought I would share it here. Hope you enjoy!
Through the good times and through the tough times, the lonely times, the quiet times... Bidden or not God is there and loves you.
"Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the LORD your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6
Another Monday: Last week was a busy one, for Hospital week we provided Blessing of Hands for all Hospital staff who wanted it. I worked 6 hours doing just that in one facility. It was nice and a special time.
It's exciting, The Triple Crown races, California Chrome won both the derby and in Baltimore on Saturday. Will we have a Triple Crown winner this year? The first since 1978? It would be something if this horse won. We shall see!
As usual the first Monday after the first Sunday is a song of faith day. I worked all weekend, on call Friday night with a call in the middle of the night, and I worked a 24 hour with calls Saturday night. I am exhausted today!. I had planned on going to a Vesper Service at 5 yesterday, BUT I had a call at 1505 and ended up not leaving until well after 1600. So I missed the service since I am 35 miles way from this facility, and there were traffic slow downs. As usual.
Well next week is Holy Week Already. Hard to believe, Easter will be here. The winter was long, slow, cold and snowy! I am glad its April.
This was a good weekend, rained but I was off most of the weekend. I am behind on my blogging, now I have to choose what and when to blog in between work, and all the things I need to get done.
I hope we have seen the last of winter it is spring after all! The week ahead will be a busy one but tha is normal. Hope you enjoy today's music selection.
