About
I’m who I have chosen to be. A husband (since 1983), a father (two men born 1985 and 1989), a friend. I was a Christian pastor around eastern Kentucky for 18 years. Left ministry in 2001 to become a writer (that’s the short story–there is, of course, a longer one, but I haven’t written it up yet.)
I now make my living as a writer, living on a farm outside of Knoxville, Tennessee.
I have moderate success in just about everything I’ve attempted, but I haven’t mastered much of anything. I’m just mediocre enough to be a tiny bit above average.
More than anything else I enjoy being an encouragement to others. I want them to know they are better than they think they are.
I attempt to live honestly and thoughtfully. I try to “own” my life and not to pretend I am something other than what I am

I couldn’t think of where else to post this, so I’ll just throw it here. What’s the deal with the link to the lesbian porn story?
March 10, 2007 at 9:15 pm
Porn…? Well, maybe. I think it tends to be more suggestive than explicit. The writer is a friend of mine, and I try to give him as much exposure as I can.

OK. And one more question, what’s your take on Original Sin? Is it biblical but part of verses you feel are flawed, or is it just a load of bollocks?
Or do you believe it? ._.
March 10, 2007 at 9:40 pm
I tried coming up with an original sin. It involved poking a badger with a stick.
Seriously…
The older I get, John, the less I believe I know. I know what the Bible says, but I have (in many cases) no clue what it means. Original sin is one of those issues. If after 2000 years there aren’t clear answers that are obvious to all, then who am I to think I can come up with them?

I’m sure the long story might not be too far off from my long story. Since my blog isn’t religious I avoid the short and long story. Your website is very interesting.

Hey Kevin?
I got this as spam today, but wanted your take on it. I’d like to see a sermon in the WhoreChurch on it.
sexinchrist.com
It’s right up your alley (I swear there’s no pun intended).

That site is priceless. I made a note and when I have a chance I will write something up. Truthfully it almost goes without comment.
Have you read the piece on oral sex? The Bible says you have to swallow. Can’t wait to write that up.
September 12, 2007 at 5:02 pm
Honestly, I hadn’t gotten a chance to vet it thoroughly yet.
Swallowing is not optional? Wow, good thing I err on the side of caution.

Vermilk,
I’ve lived in pretty much every region east of I-75: Maysville, Cynthiana, Morehead, Olive Hill, London, Inez, Hazard, Richmond, Stanton to name a few.
September 24, 2007 at 8:02 pm
Well, you hit my hometown/town in the list. I also went to school in Morehead. It truly is a small world.

Happy, happy … going through a bitter break-up with my old blog because people at my husband’s “church” were questioning my right to blog about the “church’s” shit. So glad I found you …

Lost Girl Found,
Sorry to hear you had to break up with your blog and that your husband’s fecal filled auditorium pressured you to make the move.
Did they threaten to have a couple nuns come by and work you over?
Just wondering.
You’re welcome here.

I am a recent employee of EKU.

I don’t work there anymore. However; you still pay part of my salary. Actually I pay part of my salary.

hi
been watching 100 Huntley St for 20 yrs.
go to a WOF church, tho they are not rabid wof’ers
my view is that most xns are sincere but naive, a poll showed that 90 % of xns read the Word LESS than 5 min … PER MONTH!!!
That says volumes about why they are “sincere but naive”, huh.
Any ways .. on 100 St the guest is Joel C. Rosenberg, who wrote a “fiction” about 911 a yr before 911 … blah blah .. “Israel’s enemies done it”.
Funny tho that JCR was a highly placed Israeli govt dude for yrs BEFORE writing the “coincidental” story … which made him a multi-millionaire and in-demand “messianic Jew” (a phrase not found ANYWHERE in scripture btw lol) … connect the dots sheeple.
And he is so hooked up with all the “Israel-firsters” ie Hagin, Copeland, Hinn, Meyers (a Jew name) ..Hagee etc.
Does no-one see the conn-ections?
