Walter surprised me and came up after work last night. We went over to Chambersburg to see Alice in Wonderland in 3D. It was a good movie - not quite as good as Avatar but still very interesting. It was a great surprise to see him - I didn't think I would see him until Friday night after work.

Just back from 12 days in the UK with my pastor. That is his home so he was the perfect tour guide. It was a great trip but I got really home sick. I'm also in a new relationship with a guy from Harrisburg. We met online before Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving day was our first "date". He's a really sweet guy and I can't believe I have met ( Read more... )

This past weekend really threw me for a loop. I thought I was well on my way to healing from the loss of my partner until our Church retreat. I knew it would be emotional without Mike, but I was not prepared for all of the emotions that surfaced during the weekend.

It's been a busy few days. I went to Pittsburgh on Thursday for a church conference (MCC Regions 3 & 5). The conference was awesome - great worship, fellowship, & workshops. It was very cool to meet some people from other churches - the only other church I've visited is in Orlando when I was there on business. One of my friends, Bruce, from ( Read more... )

I got up to let the dogs outside and made it as far as the kitchen when I became so nauseous from the leg cramps that I decided I needed to lay back down. I remember heading towards the bedroom and the next thing ( Read more... )

My church, New Light MCC - Hagerstown MD, serves communion every Sunday. That has always something I have enjoyed but has become very emotional for me since my partner Mike's recent passing. I am fine until they dim the lights for communion and then the tears start to flow. I'm sure this is payback for all the times I've thought to myself, "Get ( Read more... )

It is with a heavy heart that I write about the passing of my partner of 20 years, Mike Taylor. He went to sleep watching TV on Saturday evening, May 23 and never woke up ( Read more... )

A co-worker and I went to a message circle on Sat evening conducted by a fairly local medium (a little over an hour away). My co-worker lost her 14 year old son recently when his horse kicked him in the chest and caused damage to his heart and brain. He was unconscious for awhile until his siblings retrieved help and was comatose at a local ( Read more... )

Going through a hectic time right now. I'm teaching two classes this semester at Wilson College in addition to my full time job at the Hospital. It's wearing me a little thin but it's worth it when my Wilson check gets deposited into my bank account at the end of the month ( Read more... )
