And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
-1 John 4:16
I have had some kind of stomach bug all weekend, so I am not feeling well enough to write a Sunday post. However, I thought I’d post one of my favorite Bible verses. I think in this one verse, John summed up the core belief of Christianity.
I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's.
My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces.
