    @plushy That has a multi faceted answer. Though the long and short of it is that I've, in one way or another, embraced the darkness. Just not...

    Why are you a "closeted goth" ?

    Do not feed into the lies of the mind. No one and nothing can stop you from trying, other than yourself. I draw on occasion. You'll see my profile...

This is the better site. It's more colourful. There are also these added perks like awards and the option to post a personalized graphic at the bottom. This is also a good place for me to start over. I don't have to prove anything to anybody here. There's also no need for me to spam my...

So I've been dating this guy, and I am really starting to fall for him. He is very sweet, but is moody like I, and does not understand how hard communication is for me. I have told him about my son being on the spectrum, and he knows a little about it but not in depth. I have not told him I...

It is funny how life seems to run in patterns sometimes. The other day I blogged about a sermon I heard that disturbed me because I thought it was sending misleading messages about communicating with people, and today my employer held a class on listening skills! It was called "Listening in a...
Well, I returned to the little church I have been attending off and on, and at first it started pretty encouraging. I was talking to one of the members about my conflict between faith and science and how it relates to my Aspergers. It turns out he is a teacher and has several Asperger students...
Thinking about Lamentations has made me start thinking of Job. Personally, I think Job is far and away the most subversive book in the Bible. I am really surprised that it made the final cut for both the Jewish and Christian versions, because if you read it carefully, it turns a lot of...
This morning I returned to the little storefront church to hear my friend preach. You could tell he was a bit nervous, this being his first time, but I think he did a good job. Much better than I would in the same situation. I was expecting him to preach on Acts, since that was where I left...
One of the things that many of us have problems with is being singled out. It seems we are never singled out for anything good; it is always something bad, like reprimands. To this day I inwardly cringe when someone (especially a supervisor) says, "I want to talk with you a moment." Yet...

Every morning when I log on at work I like to check the Weather Channel to find out what is going on. This morning when I logged on it was showing the first close-up photographs ever taken of the planet Mercury. I wanted to call over to my co-workers, "come here, you need to see this," but of...

In my previous blog I wrote about Cornelius the Roman Centurion who appears in chapter 10 of the Book of Acts. I'm really having fun with this guy so bear with me. The big deal about Cornelius joining the church was that he was a Gentile and the others were all Jewish. That meant that they...

Last Sunday I did something I don't normally do. I went to church. It was a small storefront evangelical church that opened up a few years back, and I had heard that one of my co-workers was going to be preaching there. It turned out he wasn't scheduled to preach that Sunday, but I stayed...

I haven't realized, I have neglected my account. But, I have been making changes, and got a boyfriend. I totally was blind sided by that, it kind of just happened. Don't know how long it will last if it will, but I am enjoying the ride. My son has been making some positive and a few negative...
Third grade marked a turning point in my life. Although I had had some difficulties in school prior to third grade, it was in third grade that my life took a dramatic turn for the worst. Even from infancy there were signs that marked me as being somewhat different. Most babies are bubbly and...

Back when I was a teenager I got involved with a "home church" Bible study that everyone called "Ralph's Fellowship." I met them when they came to talk to my Catholic high school. It was in the 1970's and the Jesus Movement was sweeping the US, so I suppose that's why they were invited to...

Some time ago, being horse-obsessed, I rented the movie "Moondance Alexander." For those of you who haven't seen it, it is about a lonely teen who comes in contact with a horse who turns out to be good at jumping. Moondance's mother is a hippie who barely ekes out a living selling artwork...

A few weeks ago someone in my bike club pulled me aside when we stopped to rest and said he needed to apoligize to me because he said some things about me before he got to know me. He said he wanted to tell me that before I heard about it from someone else. I thought he was going to say about...
You ought to write a book! Has anyone ever said that to you? Chances are, if they have, they have no idea of what goes into writing a book. I have had people tell me that many a time. So one day I wrote a book (actually it took 10 years). That was the easy part. Where is that book today...
I have been reading a remarkable book by Malcolm Gladwell called "Outliers", which examines why some people succeed and others do not. There's been a lot of garbage written on the subject, mostly along the lines of "I made it, so can you." This book isn't like this. For anyone wanting to know...
Recently I bought the movie "Secretariat". I was a teenager when the big red horse made his stunning triumph in the Triple Crown races back in 1973. At that time I was obsessed with horse racing and horses in general. You might blame it on reading too many "Black Stallion" novels, but...
I bought 44 new songs for my iPod. I set up an account for iTunes and started buying right away--there have been songs I've wanted to download for ages! I've bought: "Stop To Love" by Luther Vandross "Crush On You" by The Jets "Round And Round" by Selena Gomez "Your Love Is My Drug" by...
