Koyaanisqatsi

I saw this movie for the first time in an empty campground out under the stars. A great statement on our world and on our lives. What got me the most were the scenes of the people going on the escalators, people seemed to be going places but the situation never seems to change. A great movie. I hope you take 90 minutes to watch it and think about it.

My Life At Christmas

A Christmas Thought

My Cats Would NEVER Do This

This is way too cool!

There is something about this that just appeals to my aesthetic sense. I don't know why, but I think this is just too cool!

Desiderata

I had forgotten this song. I really don't know why it came back to mind, maybe it has something to do with the general situation of my life. What I do remember is having the "chorus" resonate with me, even when I was seven years old. My mom tracked it down with me when I was in kindergarten but the record (RECORD!) store was out of it. I have finally purchased the song from iTunes, 36 years later. I guess this is definitely a situation of "Better late than never."

The Gays Are Getting Married!

I posted this before, but I though it deserved to be posted again in honor of all those tying the knot in California!

Congratulations!!

The Video Is Still Out There

I posted earlier about a video that was on GodTube. But, as GodTube would have it, the video was removed. BUT! The video live on at YouTube!

WOW! Something For Us On God Tube!

Something We Can All Learn From

This clip has been making its way around the 'net lately. It seems to be hitting a chord with many people.

I think one of the reasons is that many of us of the GLBT variety have gone through life being the ones picked on and the ones made to feel our gifts and talents were not appreciated. And although we continue to work to find our voice in the world, I know that for me there still seems to be times of difficulty. When things get difficult, it is easy to revert to the old ways of reacting to the world.



As for myself, I could not understand what was so wrong with me that would make others want to be mean to me. Now I understand that it was not me. Yes, I may have been different, but my differences made others feel uncomfortable. It was not my problem they felt uncomfortable, but they felt the need to change me to ease their anxiety. I know that, but it still hurt.

More power to this kid with the golden voice! As I said in my sermon, to be human is to be scared. But just keep moving, just keep living. Our scars make us who we are, wonderfully unique individuals.

To Those In My Home State: PAY ATTENTION!

Don't Light A Match...

I am probably going to get struck by lightning for posting this. But if lightning strikes, we will all blow up anyway!

Happy Coming Out Day!

Sometimes I feel like I am preaching to the choir here. The question is how do we get the message out to the people who need hear? How do we let the people at Exodus know that although they think they are helping people, they are just creating more problems? I don't know.

Happy Coming Out Day! We are children of God and we are loved!!
