Recently, I got in touch with someone who never really lost sight of me. Our friendship has spanned 7 years and I always knew he liked me but I just didn't know if I wanted to like him as well. I still don't. As we have reconnected, there have been things that he has said and shared that make...

When I was younger, 19-20, I liked men for the conversation they could hold with me. If they seemed knowledgeable about the topic at hand, it seemed to imply there was an underlying cause for it which indicated similarity. At some point, when rationality kicked in, I knew there was nothing in...

After everything, I felt I was at the edge of the cliff. Higher than I had ever been, but the fall would be devastating. There was this rush of emotion – of anger, despair and grief. I cried out, “Even my earthly father would never allow me to be at this point. You have brought me to the very...

When I was very young, around 3-4 years old, I had a great aunt who would indoctrinate me about Christianity. She would tell me how everything else was false and she really fired me up for God. I was always in love with God so I appreciated the time I spent with my great aunt. Anyway, at...
