Under The Apple Trees
I must stand in the light
and be the reflection
Of the love I know full well
Many think they know His love
I Wont Be Quiet
Forgiveness does not mean
we don’t need change
Just because I accept
the peace that

There is no picture of
Luis Gustavo Núñez-Cáceres

My soul hurts today
I have never been raped
but men have touched me
without my permission

All I Really Got
“Its gonna be hard to break me
because I have a strong spirit
and I grew up with a whole lot of love”
Keith Porter was shooting his gun in the air
Piano Music at 7 AM
There are Energizer Bunnies
wearing skates made of razor blades
running down my back while they pound on drums
A Neighbor
Alex Pretti never touched
the gun in his holster
the one he was licensed to carry
the one our second amendment protects
He had no criminal record

I’m not mad at you”
Renee Good‘s last words
The Late Show January 7, 2026
An armed attack against Greenland
is an armed attack against NATO
and we don’t want to attack NATO…
You Always Know What to Do
I am so thankful
that I don’t have to know what to say to You
You already know…
I Wish You Joy
Whether you believe Jesus is the reason
or you light candles on a Menorah
If you celebrate…
I Can’t Do This Without You
I am made in my Creator’s image
I am white
I am female…
Choose Light
What if there was no left or right?
What if there was no black or white?
What if we saw the beauty…
Inappropriately
I am a woman
Many of my friends have been raped
All of my female friends have been
touched inappropriately
White Knuckles
I hate the hatred God
How can they hate
someone they have never met…
It Wasn't Just A Rock
I am the kind of civilian that
has already been forgotten
Yet you already want me to forgive…
Every Person is Important
Every Person is Important
I am not just saying this because
I am white…
Inside Out
Sometimes I try to climb back into the embrace of
Our arms entwined and our heart to heart…
I Don't Know Where You Are Sometimes
I missed you today
I have missed you lots of days
because you are going through…
Holy Fire
It is hard to think with my human mind
Sometimes my spirit is on fire
And I can’t imagine how to move…

Book Review: Bible Gender Sexuality Reframing the Church’s Debate on Same-Sex Relationships by James V. Brownson
Bible Gender Sexuality Reframing the Church’s Debate on Same-Sex Relationships by James V. Brownson is the first book I have read on the topic of what the bible says about being queer. I have read the bible and I have spoken to God but I want to read what more learned...
Memories Are Bigger Than the Thing We are Responding To
Sometimes when we have a strong response to something it is because memories are bigger than the thing we are responding to. The other day I made a post on Facebook because I have seen so many memes and posts with the middle finger and it made me angry. It wasn’t my...
New Survival Skills
I was triggered today. Even though I may be ready to graduate from therapy, doesn’t mean that I don’t have moments when my PTSD isn’t still in the room with me; when I suddenly feel the dread, fear and victimization that I felt growing up. I still have to deal with...
When We Make Laws to Control People We are Mocking Jesus on the Cross
The gift that Jesus gave us by His death, burial and resurrection is not understood nearly as big until you have read the Old Testament. There are books filled with so many laws that it is exhausting to think about how you could do much of anything else but focus on...
I Never Considered
I never considered that there would come a time that I would end my therapy. I have had at least 2 mental breaks in my lifetime. I was smart enough to be able to fake enough balance that I didn’t end up confined. I know that would not have served me well. I am...
Book Review: The Failed Promise Reconstruction, Frederick Douglass, and the Impeachment of Andrew Johnson by Robert S. Levine
I did not pick this book out. My wife did. She was advised by a friend to look at Reconstruction so she brought The Failed Promise Reconstruction, Frederick Douglass, and the Impeachment of Andrew Johnson by Robert S. Levine home from the library. I had just helped...
I Have Been Learning Me
I have been learning me diligently for about 20 years now. It might be odd that I didn’t start until I was in my mid-20’s for some, but it makes sense to me. I lived in a very controlled environment. It didn’t even occur to me to ask myself what I wanted until I was...
And I Said NO
Sometimes we can’t see straight until we are removed The situation is confused by emotions we want to feel or don’t know how to name correctly until we do And often we are far on the other side before we know those words ~ I remember those days that I thought I would...
