Incest and all childhood sexual assault is wicked and evil. Call it what you will, but no person with true faith could rape a child. Why are we so dull?

~ Bloodguilt ~
I am not saying I still believe that I’m guilty of murder, but being a witness was something that moved me on, made me turn over stones, and hunt for evidence. All my life, I knew something happened in a motel room with my father and his best friend, Craig. I always assumed that they’dContinue reading “~ Bloodguilt ~”
Blasphemy
The word means impious utterance or action concerning God or sacred things. In other words, lacking in proper respect. I have never met a pedophile that had proper respect for anything in life.

Mirror Mirror ~ Who do you influence?
Introspection — what better way to start a week. Question: Who do you influence and who influences you? Coming from a lifestyle of trauma, I didn’t believe I influenced anybody. And, I didn’t believe anyone really influenced me. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The way I saw this fallen world was that there wereContinue reading “Mirror Mirror ~ Who do you influence?”
What Trauma Is Not
It is not an ordinary hardship. It is not the loss of a good job. It is not the death of an animal. These are the ordinary human experience. I listen to the stories of people as often as I can. What I usually hear is what people do, not who they are. That’s aContinue reading “What Trauma Is Not”
