The concert was moments from starting as I sat in contemplation at the crowd. Forty thousand strong, all there for the same experience. As I watched… and thought about each… so many questions came into being. We are all the same. Each person there has people they love. Each one uses the restroom many times…
I openly talk about lovemaking. Among my family and friends it is a subject of laughter and discussion. When two people love each other, the way Lorna and I do, it is a beautiful thing. Why has society made it into something it’s not? Why have we turned it into something dirty that we don’t…

The moon… cold and void… moved in line with the sun. Our sun. The source of light and human existence. The star that shines the light of Gods’ brilliance and provides life energy to everything it illuminates. On that day recently, and only for a brief moment, the moon covered the Sun. The feeling was…
They hate us! They try more often than not to show their hatred. It has become a life issue. Why? Not sure… but it seems to grow and fester as any disease does. We pray, but God has not softened their hearts yet, but hope is there. So many have said we should hate back! …
