I'm passionate about...: being real and genuine. Lived a double life of addictions (sex and alchohol) for years and am "coming out" and encouraging others to be real and do the same. The church has pretty much buried it's head in the sand when it comes to being real about the #1 cancer in our midst. And it's eating us alive. Let's get real and talk about it, openly---cause the elephant is standing in the room, right in front of us in the form of broken marriages and lives. As you can see I'm passionate about unveiling the enemies #1 weapon, secrecy and isolation. SOOOO, let's go and get it out of the closet and see what HIS LIGHT can do. He's still working on me, and I'm not gonna keep him from it, as long as I'm real.

My story with God: You heard a little if you read "passionate about". But in a nut shell. Met the Lord at 17, got filled with His love and Spirit. A few years before this got approached by my gay priest and teacher but managed to fight them off. (I was desperate for male attention and almost would do anything for it; my father was a phantom, always absent). At 17 was seduced by my choreographer/teacher as I had a lead in a school musical. I wanted his love/attention and swallowed the bait. He made me feel "special". And that is what most gays want , to feel special with another man for some of the wrong reasons.

Other stuff about me:: I am adventurous and have always been that way. I like to take risks and see what I can accomplish. This has lead to some wild and sometimes dangerous results. But all in all, God has put a little Peter in me. Impetuous, but learning to heed his call in my brokeness, so I can find His strength instead of my own outer shell of frailty.
