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.
Sky Looking Troubled or Hopeful

The 11th day of the 11th month at the 11th hour, was supposed to the end of the war to end all wars. Well so much for that! So this day is set aside to honor all who have and do serve our country in the military. I thank you for your service in protecting the freedoms we have and share.
