Did you hear the one about Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson going camping? After sharing a good meal and a bottle of wine, they retire to their tent for the night. Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend. “Watson, look up into the sky and tell me what you see?” Watson said, “I see millions of stars.” Holmes asks, “And, what does that tell you?” Watson replies, “Astronomically, it tells me there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of...

Your child is lesbian, gay, bi, trans, queer or questioning but that’s not all.... Read more
Sometimes I wonder if people really think through things. Where is the heart? The question today concerns whether or not a church can condone a marriage that will not produce children. I don’t know if this will surprise you or not, but we get asked that question a lot. Marriage is not about religion. Atheists get married. Marriage is not about reproduction. The infertile get married. Marriage is about love. That’s it. And that’s beautiful. I write Dear Susan posts... Read more
One of every four homeless LGBTQ become homeless the day they come out. 40% of all homeless youth are gay. 70% of those attempt suicide. Will you be a Dad that protects your child from that future? Or will you be a Dad that kicks your child to the street? Being gay is not a choice. Whether or not you unconditionally love, accept and affirm your gay child is. It is your choice alone, and you need to understand that... Read more
“When you write, “It’s the Christians against the gays. The close-minded against the open-minded. The hateful against the loving;” when you write that gay people “have a stake in both camps” it is too easy to infer, despite your two courageous examples, that being Christian and gay are incompatible.” On March 27, the Indianapolis Star published an opinion piece by columnist Erika D. Smith regarding the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. The Rev. John Denson, from St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in... Read more
More today from my Saturday “Jesus Blog” – a word from Jesus to you… Did you know that I never told anyone to write down the things I said? Did you know that I never told anyone to start a religion called Christianity? So what did I tell people? I told them to love God, and love others – and I tried to be an example of how to be with and love people – especially those who needed me... Read more
Sometimes, I get frustrated. You gotta love this! Franklin Graham is gonna tell you what’s up! Because he knows. He has so been there. When he’s pulled over, buddy, you better believe he does what the officer says—and he has never been shot! The fact that he’s a highly privileged white male has nothing to do with it. So listen to him, people! He’s never been sexually harassed or racially discriminated against. He will help you not be harassed or... Read more

Not so fast. The Indiana Memories Pizza story may not be quite what we thought. Accusations are being made that the pizza place that wouldn’t cater a gay wedding was enticed to answer certain, setup questions, to gain loyalty from the likeminded, and the business was “forced to shutter” at what appears to be the exact same time the GoFundMe page was launched – and launched with the help of someone tied to the reporting “news” organization. Here is one... Read more
Moms and Dads, it’s Easter. Time for resurrection of broken hearts, broken bodies, broken relationships. Please. Call your kids. Their hearts are waiting. If things were shaky, angry, hurtful last time you talked, if you said things like “we won’t have any of that in this house.. ” call them. You’re the only parents they have. Keep no record of wrongs. If you are a follower of Jesus, you remember his sacrifice for you, and his resurrection, on this day.... Read more
