I am reprinting this open letter with permission. I use to be an active member of MCC, altough that was many years ago. However this group has valiently led the fight for love and acceptance for all people for 40 years. The fact that this church came into being some 40 years ago, has done wonders for the fight for fair treatment of the GLBT ( Read more... )

I have been having an interesting couple of days. Everything from friends blog entries to the city newspaper have made me think. So each thing is going to influence this blog. It would most correctly be called a blog of thoughts about recent events.

As a person who has retained some, however small it might be,  of the faith of my childhood, I am tempted to assign such happenings as have happened to me over the course of the last two weeks to the grace of God.  It is not the purpose of this article to push any particular belief, and more particularly not to argue for any particular viewpoint ( Read more... )

Here is an article that someone sent to me....I am posting the credit for where it came from so I hope it is legal to do this. Especially since it was emailed to ME. This summarizes very well why I have a problem with many of those claiming to be Christian. The sad thing is that some are heralding this guy as an "open minded" fellow. I think ( Read more... )

Well, today I took off part of the day because my brakes were grinding. Yes, indeed, time had come for car repairs. Well, I got it taken care of, PLUS, enjoyed not being at work for a few hours. I am currently sitting here trying to come up with more excuses to NOT go in. LOL
Tonight, there is going to be a spirituality service for Pride and I am ( Read more... )

Ok, let me first say that this is my blog.  You dont have to agree with me about anything I might say.  You can even tell me, rationally or at least congenially, where you think I might be incorrect in my thoughts.  However, if you think that God is out to get me because i am the lowest thing in the universe, please move on.  First of all, if you ( Read more... )
