Nowadays

Nowadays, identifying with a gender-and deciding to be that gender- rapidly seems to be becoming the norm. Some parents have decided, and actually encourage very impressionable young Juniors and Juniorettes to choose for themselves who and what they are.

Thinking Out Loud

Everyone makes mistakes or fails in their attempts to grow and meet the challenges of daily life. Without these miscues little would be learned, and growth as a person would be limited.

Hidden Baggage

Living two states away was an amazing adventure, but it comes with some baggage. In 1986 I moved from Tulsa, Oklahoma, to Carlsbad, New Mexico, to become their senior minister. That’s 651 miles away, which is 9 hours and 48 minutes if you drove the speed limit from what you called home.
