Life Is Messy, It’s OK

No matter who you are life is messy. Everyone goes through life with varying degrees of chaos and turmoil. Your life might look polished on the outside but on the inside is a different story. Being human means you won’t go through life without some hiccups and other stuff happening that you have to deal with.

I am convinced that there won’t be a day that goes by when you won’t have something happen that makes you shake your head and wonder what is going on here. Even religious people like me don’t have it all together. It’s good to have people in your life who also have a messy life and need the support to go through it together.

My friends everything will be OK you just have to learn to be imperfect and let things happen so you can deal with those things in the future. Experience counts a lot when life is messy.

Pride Month Has Begun #Pride #LGBTQ

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) Pride Month is currently celebrated each year in the month of June to honor the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan. The Stonewall Uprising was a tipping point for the Gay Liberation Movement in the United States.

Pride month is a global celebration recognizing the LGBTQ community around the world. The work of acceptance and full inclusion continues. As an ally I’m proud to stand with my friends in the community who seek justice and to live their lives without fear.

Why The Anger?

Why are so many people so angry, furious, outraged, and pissed off all the time? It does no one any good it seems. The harm that is done is long-lasting and colors the soul. I know from some experience.

Sunday Reflection – Making Room

I feel like my responsibility as a believer and as a human being is to make space for more people to be welcomed and part of the action of life. No matter the chaos that someone brings it’s important that they have a seat at the table where they can be fed and nourished.

Granted I am not always good at it but I know my heart and mind seek to do those things that can make people feel they are valued. It’s not easy but it requires open minds and hearts to do the work of inclusion. No matter your background you should always feel welcomed.

I have the belief that a bigger tent is better than the narrow way that leads to exclusion. My friends I hope you too will do those things to build your community and have an inner circle that is never complete. Love can build those bridges and so much more. Making room is a good thing, God knows that is true.

Six Word Story

It’s very OK to be corny.

Dreaming and Reality

Nothing wrong with dreaming big but reality can be the wet blanket that keeps one grounded. Heads in the clouds are good but life can bring you back to earth. Maybe there is a balance that can be found between dreaming and reality.
