Dear Parent: I want to share something with you that a few years ago I never would have thought I would be saying: My son is gay. It’s certainly not something that I ever dreamed I would face when he was growing up and to be honest, when he first came to me and told me about, I wasn’t sure how to cope with it. That’s not exactly something that you learn how to deal with during their growing up years. A lot of things as a parent you learn how to cope with it, but that just... Read Full Story
What a Fantastic Weekend!!! Well well well.... what a spectacular weekend it has been! Truly a good end to the hot summer. We've been busy little bees fluttering around and having tons of fun and good eats! Friday evening we tried a new restaurant which was pretty good. I think we will go back again. The Blue Moon was ice cold and the hot wings and tator skins were pretty good. After filling our bellies we decided to hit the bookstore. One of my favorite things to do. I was a happy camper...

Christians say that “GOD LOST His only son to save us”. To whom did God lose Jesus if he owns the whole universe?
If it was agreeable with God’s Majesty to have sons, He could have created a million sons the like of Jesus. So what is the big clear deal about this only son?
Why does the Bible say that Jesus wanted to die on the cross, when the one on the cross was shouting “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” according to Matthew 27:45 and Mark 15:33?

I’m a liberal. A liberal who actually believes in God. Yes, you can notify the press now, there is a liberal that, whole-heartedly, believes in God. What I do not believe is that God solves my problems. I do not believe God rescues the faithful. I do not believe he cures the sick. I do not believe God put my mother’s cancer in remission. I do believe God is perfect. I believe that because God is perfect he doesn’t play... Read Full Story

My cousin Lew sent me this video and I loved it so much I want to share it with you. It's called "Playing For Change"
Not only did I love the video but it sparked my thought process and I love it when something ignites and sets fire to my brainwaves and gets my juices flowing!
I think we are at a very pivotal point in the world right now. We are changing directions and changing leadership. I am just thrilled that Barack Obama is going to be sworn in Tuesday as our new President. I... Read Full Story
This is what an abortion looks like.
Almost always false. Many abortion protest photographs are artist’s renderings or the result of image manipulation, and the bulk of the rest are of very late-term fetuses aborted for emergency medical reasons. The most well-known graphic abortion poster is of a 30-week-old fetus, aborted six full weeks into the third trimester. The vast majority of abortions are performed during the first trimester, and Roe v. Wade only protects first and second... Read Full Story
1. Why has the church done so little good and so much harm in 2000 years, while science has demonstrated remarkable progress in only 500 years? Why is the period when the church dominated western history universally referred to as the Dark Ages, while the period of breaking away from church dogma is called the Enlightenment?
2. Why are the Crusades and the Inquisition and other church-sponsored atrocities politely ignored in many church education programs, leaving church members to learn... Read Full Story
