In the movie Tron: Legacy, there is an obvious messianic theme. Kevin Flynn, played by Jeff Bridges, is God, the Father, the Creator of the virtual world. His son Sam Flynn is the young Messiah who comes to save the world. Clu, also played by Jeff Bridges, is a virtual program created by Kevin Flynn to assist in creating a perfect virtual world. Clu rebels against the Creator and injects chaos and suffering into his virtual creation. He obviously represents... Read more
Welcome to another Freebie Friday everyone! Today I’m giving away a free fine art print of my Sophia drawing “Clearing“. My daughter Casile is a beautiful writer. Her poems kill me. Last night I got the idea that her emotional poems are my Sophia in words, and that perhaps we should eventually combine them into a book. Check her blog out here: Casile Hayward. Just make a comment to enter the contest. I will enter all those who make a... Read more
Once in a while I’ll lose one of my readers. The reason they often give is almost these exact words: The people who read your blog are really messed up! I’m always amazed by that because that is exactly the same reason why people would leave my church. They would say: The people who go to your church are really messed up!

For years prior to leaving the church I tried to make it known that I was inclusive of gays being a part of our community. I think other members of the community, for the most part, were inclusive. In intention anyway. I know many struggled with it. But I think most people were struggling in what I think is the right direction. But it was an issue. I had many many talks, sometimes heated, about it. The community was pretty... Read more

When I was inside the church, it totally defined in a completely exhaustive way my entire life. It generated, sustained and perpetuated a whole framework, providing a very secure and comforting reality. But now that I’ve been out of the church for a year, I realize that it wasn’t really real. It was a reality but not Real. It was a created and enclosed imaginative structure fertile with fantasy and self-authenticating beliefs. The belief of the members nourishes the illusion... Read more
