It almost never fails. Soon after I take a seat at my desktop to write, Luna, the nemesis gracing the headline of this blog, comes and plants herself in the center of my chest, gazes at me with demanding eyes and taps the side of my face with her gigantic polydactyl paws. I used to…

Gasp! Jesus Agrees with Buddha…?
Daily Proverb: “If you roll a boulder down on others, it will roll back and crush you.” Y’all, this sounds like God’s way of saying, “Karma’s a bitch!” Could it be that Buddha and Jesus agree? Gasp! Damn straight! Why should this simple thought bother us? I’m convinced that most of the world’s religions are…
When Things Get Complicated
What do we do when things get complicated? Well…here’s some of the things I find myself doing… First of all I get a sick feeling in the pit of my tummy Second I began rehearsing all the “what ifs” Third my mind grasps the most horrendous “what ifs” and runs wild like a cheetah on…
Accepting Bridges, Instead of Walls
God has called us to build bridges and not walls. The whole story of Christ’s life, testifies to this. During his ministry, Jesus broke down many walls of separation. For example: Jesus was a Judean Refugee living in Egypt. (What if Egypt had built a wall?) Jesus had many women disciples. (Gender Wall) Jesus praised the Samaritans, whom the Jews…
My Soul To Take
Oh, that God would mold this clay, nothing but dust, dirt and decay! And yet, in me, He saw some worth; He sent his Son, from Heaven to Earth. To lay down his life, upon the cross, to thirst, and bleed, and suffer loss. And so for me, His Glory awaits; one day I’ll…
The Lord is my Shepherd
When, blessings like a river, swarm. “The Lord is my shepherd.” And thus begins Psalm 23. King David is the author of Psalm 23; however, as much as we Christians would like to believe, David was not the first to pen the idea of God as shepherd. History tells us, this metaphor, of comparing god to shepherd, was common…
Grace is Found in Hues of Gray
Recently, I had a family member express concern for my soul. Their reason? I’m a lesbian. Now, first of all, I realize their concern is an expression of love, but I also know, they fear if they fail to warn me, then my blood will stain their hands, at the great white throne of God’s…
Obvious Mercy
A Conversation with God 8/25/16 Me: Well God, I woke up this morning to three big piles and a puddle. Had to steam mop the floors-of which- I finished the living room, kitchen, dining room, and hallway-ALL- before 7:30 this morning! God: Some days are definitely better than others, but… Me: Yeah, and some nights are…
A Quiet Place
A Conversation with God 8/18/16 Me: God, my world is too noisy…sometimes I just want to go to the moon! God: You don’t have to go all the way to the moon…just rest in your quiet place, it’s always waiting for you. Me: I would but I don’t know the way. God: Well, that’s the…
Yes Lord…but…I’m Gay
A Conversation with God 8/11/2016 Me: God, as I tarried in your garden, I heard the words of a verse that has given me comfort for many years. God: And what words are they, my child? Me: They go something like this… “…everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and those who come…
