You Shall Have No Other Gods Before Me

I Pronounce You Both Man and Wife

No sooner had we all sat down around the fire of my heart’s desires, to con­tem­plate my next move, than Michael shot up with the sug­ges­tion that he ’n’ I go fly­ing, of all things. “I believe you ’n’ I … Con­tinue read­ing

Two Seemingly Irreconcilable Realities

Despite all the enlight­en­ing fan­tasies I encoun­tered in church that Sun­day, I still could not see the invis­i­ble image of God within myself, the indi­vid­ual I was meant to become. Nor could I deci­pher the hand­writ­ing on the altar—the sin­gle … Con­tinue read­ing
