About Me
Keene Point of View
Picture it: January 2012. After growing frustrated with all the talk against gay marriage coming from fellow Christians who were out there acting like they live perfect lives, I wanted to do more than tweet or Facebook my frustrations. I wanted Christians to get back to reaching other in Jesus’ love and winning souls for […]
Interracial Dating: Instructional Tip
This post comes from a personal place. I can speak on interracial dating and relationships because, well, that’s mostly what I’ve done. I’ve only dated about 5 people in my race. My three longest dating/relationships were with whites. There have been a couple Asians and a couple Latins (the danger zone…for me. That’s a compliment, […]
Overreactions
This weekend was a whirlwind of life lessons about where I am emotionally and spiritually. Without going into details, I’ll just say that my butt got handed to me several times in several different areas. 1. Relationships: What kind of relationships do I want with certain people in my life? I was almost propositioned at […]
What I Would Say If You Are Gay
Prior to September 26, 2004, I was quite a verbal gay basher. My best friend came out January 1, 2004, and I did nothing but impress upon him the importance of leaving the lifestyle and dedicating himself to God so that he could be straight again. I had a friend who came out to me […]
BGTY
Get it together even when it hurts… Be good to yourself, for you can’t love nobody else. – Ledisi I struggled to write this as I didn’t want to be completely raw here, but I decided to do so. I think this newfound clarity and contentment comes from being in a place where I’m happy […]
A Divinely Appointed Random Happenstance of Friendship
Every time I think of you, I thank my God. – Philippians 1:3 This weekend (well, Monday) on the East Coast we are being hit with Hurricane Sandy, which has picked up speed as it gets closer to making landfall between New Jersey and Delaware. My mother apparently thinks the eye will pass right through DC […]
Friday the 24th
Yet again, this Friday is acting like it’s waited all week to show its butt for news: 1. Lance Armstrong gave up his fight against his doping allegations and is no longer a 7-time Tour De France winner and is banned from cycling. They’re saying that his choice to not pursue arbitration triggers the ban […]
Todd Akin’s Beliefs About Rape
Meet Todd Akin. Todd Akin believes that pregnancy from “legitimate” rape does not happen all that much and that women’s bodies have a way of shutting down pregnancy while being raped. I wanted the Obama slow blink GIF, but I can’t find it. Back to the story. Man, WHAT? Rape, which is a […]
Coffee
Some call it swill. Others prefer chai lattes. I was the in the latter group until about April, I believe. Maybe it was May. All I know is that I am now a coffee drinker. I was first introduced to it by my current manager on my project who bought me a blonde roast with […]
Trayvon Martin Was A Victim of Racial Profiling
I was a victim of it in 2010 (and at other times, but I’m referring to this one incident), but fortunately there was a handgun ban in DC and someone wasn’t trigger-happy with my “suspicious behavior”. Trayvon Martin was killed in cold blood while walking back from a convenience store with a soda and Skittles […]
