I'm Grateful For My Brokenness. I'm Grateful

At Different Points In My Life, I Had Grappled With The Idea Of Going Into The Priesthood - In High School Or Law School. Where It Ends, I'm Not Quite Sure. Perhaps It Ends With Death, Grappling With One's Spirituality.

As A Child, Recognizing My Difference From Other Kids, I Went To The Local Public Library To Try To Better Understand My Reality. Back Then, Many Library Card Catalogues Didn't Even List 'homosexuality' As A Topic.

I Realized That My Truest Passion Was For Helping People Change Through Faith In A Higher Power. That Meant, For Me, Belonging To The Church. Using My Abilities To Bring Christian Doctrine To A Postmodern World.
