And no, I’m not being a know-it-all. Actually, I want to be at the front of the line to admit that I DON’T know all the answers, and I KNOW not EVERYTHING I believe in my faith can be true. It’s simply not possible. Read more “I Can Promise You This, Part of Your Theology is WRONG!”

Yesterday former speaker of the House John Boehner called Ted Cruz “Lucifer in the flesh”. Our civilization is becoming less and less civil. From the presidential election to transgender bathrooms to daily comments in the news, our society is getting nastier by the day. It breaks my heart to see how we speak to and treat each other. The REAL Lucifer is delighting in all of it – watching us tear each other apart. How are we as a nation to ever heal after the verbal thrashing we’ve given each other.

I wish the world could take a lesson from two amazing women who are friends of mine on Facebook and in spite of the fact they had different opinions, they actually had a POLITE exchange recently of their thoughts about the Target transgender bathroom firestorm. This whole issue starts from one side throwing a piece of ice to the other (or just pushing the issue if you will). And when one side pushes, the other pushes back – that’s HUMAN NATURE. So the piece of ice becomes a snowball becomes a cannonball and suddenly NO ONE is talking but EVERYONE is shouting at each other.
So let’s slowly walk through it all and let’s start with the women’s restroom. The “alarm” in the public is that a sexual predator could dress up as a woman, go into the women’s restroom and do harm to a young girl or woman. Let’s stop there. Read more “Laws Won’t Stop Criminals or Predators”

UPDATE: This was originally posted on my Facebook page. No more need for a spoiler alert – THIS web site and what may follow is what has been laid on my heart – a ministry to Christians, whether transgender or not ABOUT transgender Christians.
There has been a calling on my heart the last couple of months, God telling me that there is this “thing” he wants me to do. I haven’t been able to talk about it yet ((go to your Old Testament and read about Nehemiah – he couldn’t tell others what it was at first either, even though he KNEW what it was – and NO (spoiler alert!), I’m not building a wall.))
Tonight as I was praying, I was just struck at how unprepared I was for this, how unqualified I am for this. I literally was crying, I asked Him “isn’t there someone else who can take this on? There MUST be somebody else!” And then I heard Him speak loud and clear… He told me “no, there isn’t anybody else, but you’ll do.” I started to laugh Read more “God has a Cruel Sense of Humor”

Many, many years ago a friend quoted a phrase to me, that “Friends are the family we choose”. I know it may sound a little trite, but for those who don’t really have an immediate family themselves (be it parents, siblings or children), it’s comforting to realize that just because we may not have similar genetic members of the human species in our life, that it doesn’t mean we don’t have family.
CHOOSING your family can be an awesome blessing. For some of us, our friends truly are our family, and it’s wonderful. I’m blessed to have a family here in Austin whom I consider my family. He’s my “brother” – his wife and girls are just part of my family. Read more “Christians, we’re a FAMILY. All of us. Like it or Not!”
