I'm Grateful For My Brokenness.

At A Point In Every Person's Life, One Has To Look Deeply Into The Mirror Of One's Soul And Decide One's Unique Truth In The World, Not As We May Want To See It Or Hope To See It, But As It Is.

We Are Losing Sight Of Civility In Government And Politics. Debate And Dialogue Is Taking A Back Seat To The Politics Of Destruction And Anger And Control. Dogma Has Replaced Thoughtful Discussion Between People Of Differing Views.

Throughout My Life, I Have Grappled With My Own Identity, Who I Am. As A Young Child, I Often Felt Ambivalent About Myself; In Fact, Confused.

For Me, Living In The Closet Corroded My Ability To Have An Honest, Open Relationship With My God, My Loved Ones, My Constituency And Myself.

We Need To Have A Purpose In This Life. I'm Pleading With You, I'm Begging With You To Do The Right Thing. And Do It Not For The Sake Of How It Will Impact Your Own Lives, But Only For The Sake Of Doing The Right Thing.
