I’m gonna be a Mom. :D

We announced our big news on the social medias today, and I did this little illustration for the occasion. Our hearts are dancing, and we breathe in these moments of joy after a long journey.  😀 😀  

GCN Conference 2015: Learning to love better.

I have said it before and I will say it again: Attending the Gay Christian Network Conference continues to be the most “Christian” experience I have had in my entire 34-year church-going existence. This was my wife and I’s fourth consecutive conference – and not only does it feel like an ever-growing family reunion –Continue reading “GCN Conference 2015: Learning to love better.”

Writing about Cove church on Rachel Held Evan’s blog

**UPDATE: A shorter version of this story made it into Rachel’s book “Searching For Sunday“, so keep an eye out for it! So grateful to her for sharing so many important stories. Since our little church Cove closed in May 2013, I have been wanting to write about it. Once I got past the shock,Continue reading “Writing about Cove church on Rachel Held Evan’s blog”

One more step along this road :)

This past weekend I was asked to participate in a panel discussion at the Canadian Youth Workers Convention – an annual conference for youth workers both in the church, and outside the church. But primarily, this is mostly attended by youth pastors, and those who work with youth at church. This year it was heldContinue reading “One more step along this road :)”

Inktober-ing a Pumpkin Patch: Part 2

I decided to try a retro slant on these drawings…. my favourite style of illustration! But I have not done tons of these drawings myself, mostly out of intimidation. I am terrified to put up drawings and not be “good enough”. But I am learning…. learning so much. Mostly… I am learning to extend theContinue reading “Inktober-ing a Pumpkin Patch: Part 2”

So here it is. My {gay} agenda.

I clearly remember sitting in my room at 18, writing in a journal and sobbing. I was the worst of sinners. And no amount of prayer was changing that. How could I be attracted to women? I grew up with all the right people, environment, schooling around me to guide me. I was so involvedContinue reading “So here it is. My {gay} agenda.”
