There’s no one way to grieve. There’s no one way to walk through a separation or divorce. I’ve had to feel my way through this fog as best I can, not really knowing what I’m doing. But I’m trying to listen… listen hard. Because there are deep soul things to learn, buried in this fogContinue reading “Grieve Forward.”

My story for Dark Glass Theatre’s “Trespass”
Instructions for a life: Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell someone. I grew up in a large Pentecostal church, baptized days after being born. God and Jesus were always a huge part of my life. My youth was full of Christian conventions, church summer camps and Friday night youth groups. I always believed the church wasContinue reading “My story for Dark Glass Theatre’s “Trespass””
Another letter to Baby Chomiak: She will never say “I love you, Daddy”.
Hello my little one…. it’s me. [We will teach you about Adele when you grow up a bit!] I can’t even believe you are already 28 weeks along, and growing so strong inside of Mama’s belly.

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.”
Experiencing GCN 2014 “Live it Out”

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.

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.”
