Haggard, Hatred and Homos

Ted Haggard, unfortunately is doing no favors for the gay community.
The embattled (and quite conflicted) man has lost his post as the president of National Association of Evangelicals, as well as his position as head pastor of the New Life Church.
His story made headlines and plunged him head-first into a nation-wide scandal when it was revealed that [...]

Megachurches, Heathens and An Unmarried Me

I’m feeling a little discriminated against.
I have learned that the pastor of a megachurch in Dallas, TX is issuing a 7-day sex challenge to his married congregants.

In a word, it sucked.
Sure, it was nice to have someone to share the everyday burdens of life with. I liked being able [...]

Let’s Fix It

As I’m sure all mothers do, I worry about my daughters. Like everyone, my concerns range from their physical health to their happiness and emotional well-being.
By far, my biggest concerns are for their future.
I worry what we are teaching my daughters. Am I doing my part to teach them how to choose a partner that won’t abandon them when they [...]
