Healing a Broken Heart

May 19, 2021 By Catherine Roland

This past week I was asked a question: “My heart feels broken. How can I heal it?”  It’s a difficult and multi-faceted question that I had to think about quite a bit. For purposes of this article, the concept of a broken heart shall be taken in a broad sense, one not necessarily having to do with primary love as in partner or spousal relationships.  An example … [Read more...] about Healing a Broken Heart

It’s Time to Legalize Weed in Louisiana

May 11, 2021 By Frank Perez

The Louisiana legislature is considering two bills that would legalize recreational marijuana use in Louisiana.  House Bills 524 and 243 (sponsored by Richard Nelson, R-Mandeville, and Candace Newell, D-New Orleans, respectively) were favorably reported to the full House by the House Criminal Justice Committee on April 27.  The House has already passed a bill which … [Read more...] about It’s Time to Legalize Weed in Louisiana

Take Up Your Cross – Part I

May 4, 2021 By The Very Rev. Bill Terry, Rector

A recent Gospel reading focused on the Transfiguration. The Transfiguration was fabulous! Jesus and three friends simply dazzled on a mountain top. Just before this sequence, however, was Jesus’ first crucifixion pronouncement. Jesus had just rebuked Peter for not understanding this gift of sacrifice that must happen. Honestly, taking up the cross is no idle matter. It is not … [Read more...] about Take Up Your Cross – Part I

Not Throwing Away My Shot!

April 30, 2021 By Ryan Rockford

I am fully vaccinated against the Covid-19 virus. Now what? I had been on the hunt for an available vaccine appointment for some time. Someone suggested I visit the New York Department of Health website. I found the site in less than a minute and, with the blazing speed of experience, I filled out the same questionnaire I’d filled out dozens of times before, and without … [Read more...] about Not Throwing Away My Shot!

Emotional Well-Being: It’s All on Us to Keep It Strong

April 15, 2021 By Catherine Roland

Our great city is beginning to open up, including bars, restaurants, stores, food trucks, and music, music, music!  Another thing that seems to be reopening, or resurging for some, is a sense of anxiety about the very thing we’re so wanting to celebrate, which is that very same reopening. What a conundrum.  There seems to be a little more restlessness, and a bit … [Read more...] about Emotional Well-Being: It’s All on Us to Keep It Strong

The Conflict With Religion

April 13, 2021 By Andrew Watley

There is a new hit song, Montero, by Lil Nas X, whose controversial video has recently become the talk of Pop Culture. The song’s lyrics reflect the classic love story between a young gay boy who falls for a closeted guy. Lord knows that I have been there! Although many gays praise the young rapper for his catchy and relatable lyrics, others, both gay and straight alike, find a … [Read more...] about The Conflict With Religion

God cannot un-love you

March 31, 2021 By The Very Rev. Bill Terry, Rector

Wow, they did it again! Not only that, they did some other things as well.  A recent poll showed that Americans are increasingly becoming non-denominational and perhaps even secular in their world views. That same study showed that much of the exodus from "mainline Christianity" is a result of the political positions and threats of the Conservative Christian Right. That … [Read more...] about God cannot un-love you

Ass Cancer and Me – The Hole Story, Part 2

March 22, 2021 By Ryan Rockford

The result of my biopsy identified pre-cancerous cells, and treatment would be necessary.  The cherry on top of this HPV sundae--I also had a fistula in the lining of my rectum. “A what?” I asked, immediately returning his call. In a rather pre-occupied tone, I was told: "A fistula is an abnormal passage that sometimes forms from the anal canal to the skin near the … [Read more...] about Ass Cancer and Me – The Hole Story, Part 2

Introducing Crowded Brain, 2021!

March 15, 2021 By Catherine Roland

It’s March 2021, and here we are. This March, we may still feel stuck, tired of, or frustrated with limited socializing, no really safe playing, or less than regular physical connection. Sometimes, it may seem like there is a fog in your head and when you try to clear it, it stays a bit foggy.  Foggy brain is now a thing, with the media and medical professionals … [Read more...] about Introducing Crowded Brain, 2021!

Ass Cancer and Me – The Hole Story

March 12, 2021 By Ryan Rockford

One morning, not very long ago, I woke up to discover that small growth clusters had begun to appear around the base of my penis and testicular area. I panicked and did what anyone with a medical mystery to solve would do – I ran straight to Google. There is a reason we should never self-diagnose ourselves using Google. Based on my findings, by late afternoon, I was almost … [Read more...] about Ass Cancer and Me – The Hole Story
