Here is why abortion is personal to me. In 1973, my mom’s water broke during the 1st trimester of my development. That was on a Friday and she went to the hospital to see what was going on. The doctor confirmed the bad news and scheduled a D&C for the…

We watched a sobering documentary called “Generation Wealth” last night. It is a follow up to a project done by a photographer where she had photographed some of the wealthy students in Los Angeles in the 80’s, then followed up with them to see what life looks like now. In…

My (not) 25th Wedding Anniversary

  • Posted on April 18, 2022April 18, 2022
  • by CoffeeSwirls

It just dawned on me that today would have been my 25th anniversary, had I not escaped from years of mistreatment. As I was going through the separation that she transferred to a divorce, I was counseled by a man who warned me that I would suffer regrets for the…

  • – 1 Comment on The Line in the Sand: Intro

I’ve lost track of whether I discussed this here or over on Gab, so lucky you, I’m going to give a condensed version of events to lead up to a recent conversation. I was an elder at a close-knit church for four years but was ready to step down after…

Oh, you returned! If you haven’t already read part 1, I encourage you to do so, as this recap will be enough to get you pointed in the right direction, but can’t replace the sort of context you would get by just reading the earlier post. I set the stage…

  • – 1 Comment on Ex Nihilo and the LGBT+ Charade: Part 1 of 2

We got up bright and early on Thursday to go see the lifesize reproduction of the Ark of Noah. Much like the Creation Museum, you see a few signs to point you in the right direction, but when you get there, the entrance sign almost comes as a surprise. You…

We returned yesterday from a trip to northern Kentucky, just south of Cincinnati. Where have you heard that before?
