Blogging From Bed

Now that I have my new Treo™ 700P, I have no need to get out of bed. I can do my e-mailing, web surfing, listen to streaming audio and even blog horizontally in my pjs.

Alex says that in Swedish "treo" means asprin. Well my Treo™ eases the pain of morning by allowing me to extend bed time into the mid-afternoon as God intended. (Surely there is a scripture that covers this critical topic)

Most people do not get enough sleep, so I feel I must model healthy sleeping habits for the sleep deprived.

But eventually I will deem it necessary to crawl out of my duvet-like cocoon and enter the world of the awakened. Today is a library day for me in which I hope to blog a piece about homosexuality and the Bible as well as a long overdue Spanish blog entry over at Dos Equis.

But for now I will roll over and sleep another hour.

Since I got my MacBook a few weeks ago I have some serious problems finding reasons to get up. It is just me and my love lying in bed all day while Noa is working hard to support me.

*lol* Great, you guys, that's the kind of support I needed! XP

:( My drawing table is not bed-friendly. I get up at half past six.

It has taken some work, but I think that my partner now believes that I can sit in the recliner, blog, do the banking, e-mail, keep our Netflix que up-to-date, watch TV, AND have a meaningful conversation with him all at the same time.

I believe that wireless is a good thing. A very good thing.

And I thought I was decadent for having an electric blanket, which makes it hard enough to get out of the bed on cold days as it is.

Wireless is indeed a very good thing. But I've found if I don't get myself away from computers at least a couple hours before bedtime I have a hard time getting to sleep. I need time to mentally wind down after being plugged into the net.
Willie, so sorry that you have the drawing disability that forces you out of bed at an unnatural hour.

Alex, I know the power your white knight has on you, and thank goodness that you have been using it for blogging from bed or wherever. Your posts are amazing!

kj, I can just see you in action (or is that "your inaction?")

bruce and anna, I have been told that I get my best work done in bed. ;-)
You inspire me Peterson - wish I could spend that much time in bed...

Zzzzzzzzz

Bah! Humbug!
"Go to the ant thou sluggard and be wise".
Now THAT'S what I call a good scripture to throw at you, Mr T.
Send you to work in the mines, that's what they should do. None of this soft lazing in bed when you should be slaving away like all the others. Make a real man of you it would.
But hey, let's be honest, that wouldn't work either, would it?

My Gay Husband--A Spouse Speaks Out

The other day I received the following e-mail from Susanne, a woman who found out her some years ago that her husband has same-sex attractions. I felt so moved by her words that I asked her permission to share them with you on the blog. I (recently) saw your Doin Time... and I was the one who asked about your wife during the discussion period that followed. I just read your thoughts on What About the Spouse ....and I can say, most women who find out their husbands are gay feel ALL of those things you wondered about....some in more degrees than others... When my husband was dragged out of the closet because of his irreverent, immoral, and amoral behavior that our, then, 14 and 16 year old sons had to find on our home computer, I went into the closet. I didn't know what to pray for.... Do I pray that this will go away? Do I pray that he could go back to the way things were in our family before we knew about him,? Do I pray that I could go back to the way things were? After all ,...

The False Image of LIA

John Smid and me-Graduation 1998 (above) & John Smid today (left) By now many have heard that Tennessee's Department of Mental Health & Developmental Disabilities determined that the "ex-gay" program, Love in Action, is operating two “unlicensed mental health supportive living facilities”. LIA has until Friday, September 23 to respond. If LIA statements in Eartha Jane Melzer's article are indicative to how the "change" program might respond, we may see LIA change right before our eyes from a clinical mental health compound into a house of praise and worship. Gerard Wellman, business administrator for Love in Action, and a former Love in Action client, said Sept. 13 that the organization has been in contact with the state but would not comment further. “As a church, we operate under a different set of rules,” Wellman said. Curious, and what rules might these be? What is even more curious is that according to LIA's site only one staff member ...

Puzzled

Last night I performed Transfigurations-Transgressing Gender in the Bible at Imago Dei Metropolitan Community Church in Glen Mills, PA (about 15 miles outside of Philly). I had a diverse audience of about 45 people -- college students, Quakers, straight, bi, trans and lesbian, young and old. I took my time with the piece maintaining a gentle meditative pace. For the ending when I reveal the identity of the narrator, I had instructed the light tech to dim the lights. Then as the closing music swelled, I asked her to raise the lights to their brigthest intensity. With the music playing, I exited. Always (up until last night) at this point the audience applauds, I wait 5 seconds then come out to take a bow. Last night I exited and then nothing. No one clapped. They sat quietly as the music played. I stood back stage puzzled, baffled. Now what do I do? Wait? Go out anyway? And I wondered for a moment, Did they hate it? Did I confuse them? Offend them? Bore them into a coma? After what ...
