Expecting The Worst

Remember when I went to the baby mega-church with a friend a few weeks back? She was so excited to have found a church that fed her spiritually, and she wanted to share it with everyone around her. Although I wasn’t very impressed with the style of worship, I was happy that she had potentially found a . . . → Read More: Expecting The Worst

It's Complicated

Several years ago, my mother’s brother married a black lady. His parents (my grandparents) were racist, so whenever the family would get together for Christmas or birthdays, she was never welcomed.

After answering a barrage of questions in an attempt to determine where our lives might have previously intersected – . . . → Read More: Shocking The Aflac Agent

A "Funny" Story

Kim was the first person that I was aware of being homosexual. Her father owned the convenience store across the street from where we lived, and she would often work there as a clerk.

I don’t remember how I knew that she was gay, but it might have been from something I overheard from my parents. Mom . . . → Read More: A "Funny" Story
