Hi all, it’s taken a while to collect as many of the photos as I could from our friends (still hoping for one more set). Also, it was a busy week, as we prepared, at church, for this weekend’s Pride Parade, and the inauguration of our Would Jesus Discriminate campaign. Any, a collection of theContinue reading “Pictures ready at last”

introducing mr hays-strom
Sigh… I let far too much time pass since my last post. No excuses, really. I started several in that time, mostly journaling assignments from my CLM class… problem was that they led into aspects of life that I’m not comfortable sharing with a larger community. So they never got posted! During this same period,Continue reading “introducing mr hays-strom”
thoughts on marriage
In just two short weeks (plus a couple of days) Scott and I will be getting married. What started out to be a SMALL event, just a handful of people – most of whom would be my Dad and his side of the family – were expected to be invited, the anticipated size has grownContinue reading “thoughts on marriage”
in which i ramble and sometimes approach stream of consciousness writing
It’s been a… different… couple of weeks. First of all, shortly after I posted my last entry here, I learned that my hoped for job with OPS had gone to someone else. They chose to hire from within… being a bureaucracy, they assign points for various aspects of your application, and one of those isContinue reading “in which i ramble and sometimes approach stream of consciousness writing”
clm stuff
One of the things I’ve heard over and over… and it’s generally a truism… is that we shouldn’t let what others think of us worry us. And yet, I think it’s pretty obvious that is easier said than done! For better or worse, unless one is willing to completely disengage from the world, what othersContinue reading “clm stuff”
date set
Scott and I have set the date for our Iowa wedding! We had hoped to hold our celebration on August 9, but it turns out that 3 of the more important participants, namely the Pastor, Scott and I, will not be anywhere near Iowa on that date. As we perused the various dates this summer,Continue reading “date set”
not a flash in the pan
Scott and I just got back from having dinner with Dad. It was nice, we ate at Fernandos, a rather 3rd rate Mexican restaurant in West Omaha. But the waiter was nice and the food wasn’t terrible. Just too high priced for the quality. Unfortunately, down in South O there are far better ones thatContinue reading “not a flash in the pan”
my what a day
Today started off innocuously enough. Our typical morning routine: get up, watch the news, watch a little of one of the saved programs, get showered. Then, we began to deviate from our schedule a bit. Instead of Scott heading off to work, we drove down to the courthouse and applied for a marriage license! TheContinue reading “my what a day”
news from iowa
Hey there! Been a bit of a busy week, with nothing to report… until today, that is. As some may know, beginning tomorrow, same-sex couples will be allowed to apply for marriage licenses in Iowa. And on Thursday, after a 3 day waiting period, they will be able to get married. Local television stations inContinue reading “news from iowa”
weekly clm assignment
This is my “homework” for week two of “Rediscovering Relationship with Self”. Reflect and Journal about an experience when you worked in a spiritual gift area that is one of your LOWEST scored areas. What did it feel like to work in that arena? Was it frustrating to try to arrive at a successful outcome?Continue reading “weekly clm assignment”
