WEDDING MEMORIES

11 YEARS TOGETHER

 4/1 #11thanniversary - Ken Marshall and I met on April 1, 2012, and after that night, neither of us ever dated anyone else…I don’t know if there’s actually such a thing as love at first sight, but I’m pretty sure we came as close to it that evening as is possible…so, even though we have a wedding anniversary in December (which we cherish), April 1 is really our anniversary…more than just a remembrance of a first date, it’s the day we commemorate as being the genesis of our becoming who we really are…Happy Anniversary, Mr. Marshall…I love you…#lovewins

I AM

 

8th Wedding Anniversary

11 YEARS LATER

Thanks for all the messages on this 11th Anniversary of my publicly coming out (10/13/10)...here's a sampling of some of my favorites from Facebook in the last few hours...Ken and I will celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary in a few weeks, and our 10th anniversary of being together in a few months...since that night in October of 2010, he and I have lost both of our fathers, gained 3 more grandchildren, and have enjoyed every single day of our life together...Metron Community is now in its 8th year, and we will have our 12th Meditation Weekend in a few days...life is good...thanks for remembering!

10 YEARS LATER

 10/13 - #tenyearslater

 ...So this was 10 years ago...October 13, 2010...so much has happened since that time...I continued pastoring #churchinthenow for another 4 years after coming out, and also started #churchinthenowmidtown during that time...wrote ‘First, The Good News: The Positive Truth About God, The Gospel and What it Really Means to be Gay’, and we’re now into our 7th year at 

Metron at Landmark's Midtown Art Cinema

...

In a few months, 

Ken Marshall

 and I will have been together for 9 years, and in a few weeks we will celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary...2 grandchildren between us when we got together, now we have 5...I stood by his side while we watched his father cross over into immortality, and 2 1/2 years later he stood by my side while we watched my father do the same...

10 years ago I couldn’t have imagined that #marriageequality would become a reality as quickly as it did...I also couldn’t imagine that just a few years later it would be threatened in the courts as it is now...don’t know what’s going to happen in the immediate future...don’t know if my marriage is going to be declared illegal or not...believing for the best, and hoping that the powers that be will do the right thing...but, aside from that, I have nothing but gratitude for these last 10 years...a million thanks to all of you who have been so supportive of my telling the truth...love this date, and I love you all...#lovewins #noregrets #lifeisgood#enjoylife #liveyourtruth
