I find the above quote from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to be quite condemning of the people who claim to be the heirs and followers of his ethos. If anything, today's political environment judges people more by the color of their skin than the content of their character than ever before. If you are … Continue reading I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today.

As Christ to me …
Put this into your own religious or spiritual background, but North Kansas City Hospital, first the ICU then rehab, has been my home for the past 3 weeks, and they have been as Christ to me when my own church has abandoned me. So today I say thank you to everyone there, those I met … Continue reading As Christ to me …
Abandonded
It is a strange feeling picking up voicemail messages from a period when you didn't answer your phone because you were unconscious in ICU and to realize during that same period that your church had shunned and banished you for seeking the sanctuary of Christ from them.....
My Video Letter to the leadership of the Church at Avondale.
Be warned, Christ says this is HIS church, and his worship services, not yours. Grieve not the Spirit nor turn away those who seek My aid. Remove the vipers from among you so they no longer prey on the weak, Remove the wolves from among My flock, even if they be dressed as ministers of … Continue reading My Video Letter to the leadership of the Church at Avondale.
At The Rainbow
I have been reeling a lot lately, most of the past 3 years, but especially since last Thanksgiving. I just find it hard to accept, to believe the things that I see people saying and doing, especially the things about and toward me. It is why I have been thinking a lot about Noah's Container, … Continue reading At The Rainbow
Personal Case Study #2: Peggy Chilson
This is the popular for general audience consumption version of the full sociological report. I decided to do this case study because of a sudden realization that came from an e-mail she sent to everyone in Madrialia Bar Nonne but forgot the attachment with the information. This occurred on Friday, May 27, 2022. The e-mail … Continue reading Personal Case Study #2: Peggy Chilson

I have intended for quite awhile to start blogging again today. But it didn't get me doing as much prep work as I wanted to. But it did get me to write the below intended starting post for today: I was going to make today a new start, with new commitment, and instead I slept … Continue reading I am fated to cry
When Church is no longer Sanctuary
Avondale United Methodist Church, where I have attened and worshipped and served these past 14 years, is no longer safe for me. I no longer feel safe going there. Do I feel that I am physicalliy threatened, that I could receive bodily injury while I am there, do I think I might be physically molested … Continue reading When Church is no longer Sanctuary
An unusual New Year’s Resolution
I hope none of you are in a position to consider this, but my New Year's Resolution is to avoid being assaulted or being charged with assaulting someone else in 2022. I choose this after a series of four years in which I have been assaulted each year, and in the latter two years have … Continue reading An unusual New Year’s Resolution
When did the defense attorney become the plea attorney?
I am wasting my time this morning waiting for my appointed court time to have a bench trial for the charge of assaulting someone on Dec. 23. The ironic part is that the person accusing me of assaulting him had his hands around my neck before I succeeded in disengaging from him. When I got … Continue reading When did the defense attorney become the plea attorney?
