Transgender Day of Visibility – I Support My Trans Friends and Neighbors

Leave a comment

I am a LGBTQIA supporter. On this day the contributions of trans people are being recognized. They face unfair discrimination. Laws are being passed that are cruel and heinous. I know several trans people, and they are just wanting to live their lives without fear.

The transgender community has made so many contributions to our society. Jazz Jennings, Rachel Levine, Dylan Mulvaney, Laverne Cox, Sarah McBride, Elliot Page, Nyla Rose, Gisele Shaw, Janet Mock, and so many others have made our lives culturally richer and better.

I so wish that the bullying of trans and other non-conforming people would stop. They didn’t ask for any of this. Live free trans people. You are loved.

If someones mouse is on the left side of their keyboard then most likely they are left-handed. There are a few exceptions. Left-handed people are special.

Another Palm Sunday Reflection

Leave a comment

Jesus was about soft power. He came into Palm Sunday on a donkey. Everything he owned he was wearing. He inspired love, community, cooperation, healing. Breaking bread was how he reached the hearts and souls of people. All of those things set an example for us to live our lives with love and peace and to be good neighbors. Jesus turned over tables as a means of justice and fairness. Holy chaos was his thing. We should be about soft power and some holy chaos.

A Palm Sunday Reflection – It’s Good Chaos

1 Comment

It’s Palm Sunday, and it’s where Jesus is brought in with laud and honor and by Friday he’s been nailed on a cross, died and buried. To me, it’s a story of how things can change quickly. As I think about this whole Holy Week thing is that Jesus knows what is going to happen but remains faithful. His disciples by the end of the week are wondering what in the hell is going on. They gave up their lives to follow him, and he’s being prosecuted as a criminal in the minds of the state. The only thing Jesus was guilty of was upsetting the status quo. Jesus was always good at creating good chaos wherever He went. Palm Sunday is just the beginning of it all, so perhaps today should be seen as chaos.

I Am Truly Sad For Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’s Cancellation

Leave a comment

For years, I thought the idea of a Star Trek series centered around its Starfleet Academy would be great. Stories of young cadets learning to be officers in Starfleet sounded like a great idea to me. Now Paramount Plus, the home of Star Trek went and did just that. A series led by Oscar winner Holly Hunter was going to take us into a new future for Trek.

Yesterday it was announced the next season in 2027 it will be the last for Star Trek: Starfleet. They didn’t even get four years like cadets in Military Academy’s get.

Some folks cannot get past the fact that this show is about infinite diversity in infinite combinations. They can’t imagine a strange new world. They just don’t have it in them to expand their minds to new possibilities like Gene Roddenberry brought us in the original series from the 1960s.

Some labeled it “woke” and I must say that Star Trek has always been and hopefully will always be “woke”. I thought this new series was fresh, unique and full of potential, but we won’t know. I am angry about this. That cast delivered great performances and told stories that were important. I don’t know where Star Trek is headed but with the new ownership of the studios being led by nefarious people with bad intentions I am not so sure.

Happy 3rd Gotcha Day, Frankie Boy Dog!

Leave a comment

We adopted this little boy dog from the Chattanooga Humane Society three years ago. Frankie has been an endless source of light and fun in our lives. He has also been a mess and loves to play especially with his impressive collection of toys. We love you boy, thank you for choosing us.

Adopt, don’t shop!
