In the Beginning: The Story of Adam and Evan
Chapter 1: No one’s perfect
In the beginning, God created breeders. For centuries thereafter, He regretted it. Mind you, He always remained hopeful. It had to stop one day, didn’t it? All this killing, all this hate, lust, pride, greed, intemperance, sloth…it had no end or so it seemed.
“Enough’s enough!” He said one day, to no one in particular. “No one’s perfect. I need a new plan, a new creation. One that’s less complicated than all this. I never created the seven deadly sins. They did that all on their own. Gees, they’ve just gone and elected yet another asshole as pope. Another 20 years of dogma and guilt for those sorry ass Catholics! Why do I even bother?”
God pondered His predicament. “Well, one thing’s for sure,” He thought, “I can’t think straight in this male form. I need a sex change!”
Robin Williams had been right when he espoused the basic design flaw in men. Man had a brain and a penis, but only enough blood to run one at a time. If anything had been inspirational throughout the ages, that had been it.
And so it became to be. God took on the feminine mystique.
“Well, at least I now understand why Eve got Adam to eat that damn apple! Oh, wait a minute, look at these tits! Not bad, even if I do say so myself. It is a little confusing in here, but at least I don’t have that boner to contend with anymore.”
So God pulled up Her chaise lounge and created a century’s supply of feminine hygiene products and settled in to the arduous task of re-thinking creation.

Chapter 2: Alternate Direction
“So, let me see if I’ve got this right.” Adam said while adjusting his fig leaf. “You want to start over….like a complete back to the garden make over. Except this time I’m going to have an alternate life style?”
“That’s right, Adam. You’re gay. There will be no Eve this time around. Evan will be your life partner.” God responded. Adam looked confused. She smiled at him warmly. He really is beautiful She thought. Even Michelangelo’s David couldn’t hold a candle to Adam’s beauty. She was pleased.
“When do I get to meet Evan?”
“I haven’t made him yet. I wanted to get your input first. So what’s your type? What do you look for in a man?” She inquired.
“I really don’t know. I’m sort of new to all this. You wouldn’t happen to have a catalogue, would you? Like one of those Victoria Secret catalogues, except with men.”
“You want a man who wears lingerie?” God wasn’t sure She wanted to go there, but tried not to appear alarmed.
“No. At least I don’t think so. I was just hoping that….wait a minute! Now that I think about it, Cain was a real hottie! Yeah, a man that looks like Cain will do just fine.” Adam said, now pleased that he had finally contributed something to this new creation plan.
It had often been said that God was slow to anger. Well, not anymore. She was very quick to anger. Lightening bolts streaked through the heavens. Adam’s ears went deaf momentarily as the thunder roared.
She soon calmed. “Listen, Adam,” she said impatiently, “You need to work with me here. First of all, Cain was your son. Second, he killed Able, his brother. Need I continue?”
“No, God. Forgive me. I wasn’t thinking straight there for a moment.” Adam cringed in response.
“Looks like I still haven’t fixed that original design problem, have I?”

Conner..>I don't mean to upset God..but um, does SHE have to leave us with a cliffie like that
(um, you can come up with another term for cliffie but you get the hint)..I am ROFL..that is hysterical....and I want more description to describe Adam and those hottie brothers Cain and Able....and Adam already at new heights of the seven deadly sins...lust after his own son...geez, how many rules did he break on that one?
Paul Rudnick actually did a play on off off Broadway which I saw..."Adam and Steve and Jane and Mabel" remake the world..just as you are doing..in which everyone was Gay and then they discover str8 people and over time their adventures......it was a great play....rumored to maybe be a movie....
I look forward to your next chapter...i can't stop laughing!!! (which sin is that....you should read Dan Savage's book on the 7 deadly signs and the pursuit of happiness in america...i roared through that one too..he is on your coast in Seattle with his husband and very cool writer/journalist:)
Even the Devil will want a part.....ever see the HBO special with Ellen where she talks to God..and yes, God is a woman...Ellen would love this skit:) so would Whoopi:)
Rainbow Hugs you very funny and sexy Director of Communications.....more please....tell God she tells a great story..and um.....go get an Undergear catalog to have Adam pick out some of those hotties..build his own model hunk *winks* and hey, he can borrow one of Matt's hotties...woof:)

In the Beginning: The Story of Adam and Evan
Chapter 3: To know me is to love me
Pre-post note: I’ve stopped capitalizing pronouns when referring to God. It was driving me nuts.
“Why do you see it as a design problem?” Adam asked, seeming considerably interested in God’s response. “You can make me horny or not horny. Frankly, I’d rather be horny. It keeps me sharp. It keeps me on the edge.”
She pondered Adam for a moment. A slight smile passed across her face. Men have always looked at the world so simply, she thought. Was it a gift or a curse? The real question is why do I admire it so?
“Well, Adam, it’s just that when you get that way, you stop thinking and often forget to start again.”
Adam returned her smile as graciously as he could. “Is there a name I can call you? God is so formal, and I’m pretty much naked here.”
“Call me Betty.” She responded.
“Listen, Betty, I need to be blunt here. it’s a package deal. At least that’s the way I see it. The good, the bad, and, yes, the ugly. All rolled into one. You’ve made me human – free will, intelligence, muscles, hormones, a problem-solving attitude, an offbeat sense of humour, passion for life and a big appetite. “
“Why is it when you put all that together you get a jerk who thinks farts are funny?” God asked.
Adam sensed the jocular nature of the question and grinned back at Betty. “I think that’s a competitive thing really. I know we blame testosterone for a lot of our issues. But there it is. We are competitive. We like to be better than others.”
“I don’t want you to be better than others. I want you to be better for others.”
A single tear slowly made its way down Adam’s cheek. “I do try. I really do.”
Betty gently wiped the tear away. “I know you try, Adam. It pleases me that you try. Now put your best smile on, I want you to meet Evan.”
To be continued.

Yes, Michael, I'm learning from the best. Thanks for noticing. This is a good thing, n'est-ce pas?
I must admit to a certain reluctance in providing a physical description of my male characters. I think I would suck at it. Mind you, I haven't tried. Betty did say that we should be better for others.

In the Beginning: The Story of Adam and Evan
Chapter 4: Try some of this fruit
“Evan? Where?” Adam asked while looking around anxiously. As he looked back at God, she nodded in the direction of some nearby berry bushes. Adam turned. His eyes became transfixed on a young man he was sure wasn’t there just a moment ago.
“Is he Evan?” Adam enquired of Betty, not capable of turning his eyes away from the naked man who was now enjoying the fruit from the bushes.
“I’ll assume that’s a rhetorical question.” Betty replied. “Why don’t you go over and introduce yourself?”
"He’s gorgeous!” Adam exclaimed. “Yes, I will introduce myself…” Adam started to say finally looking back towards Betty, but she wasn’t there anymore. His gaze returned to the beauty before him. Evan stood 6’ tall, about an inch shorter than Adam. His thick brown curly hair hung over his ears and just shy of his eyebrows. Adam couldn’t see his eyes as Evan stood there in profile but he sensed they were a deep brown. His chin jutted out in the most masculine of ways.
“Evan,” Adam called out as he began to walk toward him, “Welcome. I’m Adam. I’m really pleased to meet you. I’m glad you’re here.” Evan returned Adam’s gaze, the warmest of smiles spreading across his face. Yes, his eyes were a deep brown, and huge, Adam thought. That smile, oh Betty, thank you for that smile.
“Hello, Adam. Where else would I be?” Evan replied.
“What? I don’t understand.”
“You said you were glad I was here. Where else would I be if not here?” Evan explained now grinning broadly.
Adam returned the grin but remained speechless as he now stood next to his life mate.
“I am here for you as you are here for me.” Evan stated as his gaze now took in Adam’s full form. His eyes briefly met Adam’s before he returned his attention to the berries.
“Here, try some of these, they’re delicious.” Evan said as he held out the berries to Adam.
Adam panicked.

Michael, you have to stop telling me all this good stuff after I post.
Maybe I need to hire you as an editor. Let me make one thing perfectly clear up front, the pay sucks.
Think of all the extra lap time though I had completely forgotten about the Adam's apple thing. Btw, I like a visible Adam's apple on a man - very sexy.
I must admit berries don't give me a lot to work with. Live and learn.I do have the Adam's rib thing handled (Eve was made from one of Adam's ribs, was she not?). You'll have to wait for the next post on that one.
Hugs,

In the Beginning: The Story of Adam and Evan
Chapter 5: Big boys don’t cry
“What’s wrong, Adam? You don’t look so good.” Evan asked, concern growing on his face.
“Last time it was an apple.” Adam responded, unsure where he should take this.
“Last time?”
“Well…the first time, the only other time. I’m sorry. I should explain. Don’t be upset, ok?” Adam looked at the berries still sitting in Evan’s hand and then back at Evan. This couldn’t be happening again, he thought. “Eve and I were driven from this garden a long time ago. It’s a long story, maybe I should…” Adam stopped mid-sentence as he saw that smile appear again on Evan’s face. He’s got to stop smiling like that, it’s driving me silly. “Listen, I..”
“The apple, the serpent, the tree of knowledge. I know all about that. It’s ok. These are just berries. You don’t have to eat them.” Evan said and then tossed back the berries into his own mouth. Adam was incredulous. His mouth was open but no sound was coming out. “You look really cute when you do that, Adam.” Evan was smiling again.
“I don’t understand. How do you know about all that?” Adam asked, managing to close his mouth this time.
“I don’t know. I just do.” Evan answered. “Maybe it was the tear.”
“The tear?”
“Don’t you remember? It was just a few minutes ago. Betty wiped a tear from your cheek.”
“Yes, but I don’t understand.” Adam stated growing frustrated.
“Adam, you get to keep all your ribs this time around. Betty created me from that tear.” Evan paused. He realized that he needed to allow Adam some time to take that in. He even stopped smiling.
Adam turned and began to step away. Evan instinctively reached for his shoulder. “No, don’t Evan. I need a moment, ok?” Adam responded barely audibly. Evan allowed him to move away a few feet but his eyes never left Adam.

“Adam, you get to keep all your ribs this time around. Betty created me from that tear.” Evan paused. He realized that he needed to allow Adam some time to take that in. He even stopped smiling.
Adam turned and began to step away. Evan instinctively reached for his shoulder. “No, don’t Evan. I need a moment, ok?” Adam responded barely audibly. Evan allowed him to move away a few feet but his eyes never left Adam.

Kitty, you have me blushing here. Thanks for that.
Yes, it does seem that I've gotten myself caught up in the relationship. Don't worry. More laughs to come.

In the Beginning: The Story of Adam and Evan
Chapter 6: What a difference a kiss makes
“I’m sorry, Evan. That took me by surprise. I didn’t know.” Adam said.
“Are you ok with it?” Evan asked.
“I should be asking you that question, Evan. Eve was never crazy about having been made from one of my ribs.” Adam paused and slowly looked down… remembering. “It was something between us that I could never fix.” The sadness that was evident in his voice caused Evan to flinch.
Evan approached Adam and placed his hands on Adam’s head and gently drew him closer. Their eyes met but for a brief moment before Evan pressed his lips against Adam’s. For centuries, romantics have tried to describe a kiss such as this one. It was a kiss that took everything from the other and yet gave everything back sevenfold.
Betty watched their kiss and smiled inwardly. “So far, so good.” she thought. “It’s no easy feat to write and stage a story while giving the players free will. It’s like telling Robin Williams to behave himself. I swear it’ll be the death of me.”
Evan broke their embrace and looked down between them. “I was going to ask you to lose the fig leaf, but it seems to have dislodged itself.” he said as his eyes returned to Adam’s.
“I can’t stop smiling.” Adam said blushing. “Neither can I stop adoring your smile. Do you really have to do that?”
“It’s all part of my charm.” Evan responded.
“I need to be with you, Evan. I’m hoping that‘s also part of your charm.” Adam’s eyes were full of lust.
Evan gently whispered into Adam’s ear, “I am here for you as you are here for me.”
“Well that’s going better than the first time around, I must admit.” Betty mused as she recalled the first love scene in Eden…
“Stand back, Eve, I have no idea how big this thing gets!”
Adam smiled at Eve mischievously.
“What exactly do you think you’re going to do with that?”
Betty gave her head a shake. “Enough of this. I must ready Eve.”

In the Beginning: The Story of Adam and Evan
Chapter 7: Hairy body parts can be salty
Adam began to stir from his unconsciousness. He was becoming aroused and wasn’t sure why. The pleasant sensations running through his body were growing stronger. His eyes remained closed as his mind took that first step into consciousness. There was definitely some external stimulation going on; he just couldn’t locate it yet. His mind took another step into consciousness. Thoughts began to form in his head. “I’m lying on my back. My arms are over my head. There’s a tongue working away on my…right armpit.”
“Evan,” he pleaded, now having found his voice, “Don’t stop. That feels incredible. Oh Betty, make him keep going… please, I beg you! Eve never did anything like this. I love it, Evan. I just love it.”
A few more delicious moments passed as Adam’s body began to writhe. At this point, he was helpless. He couldn’t even open his eyes. Suddenly, the sound of deep guttural laughter was coming from his left, and yet the licking continued. Adam forced his eyes open and turned his head toward the sound. He was stunned as he watched Evan laugh his fool head off. He immediately turned his head to the right. To his shock, he saw a full grown stag deer standing there with his majestic head humbly, yet strategically, positioned in his right armpit. The tongue strokes were so intense; he was surprised he still had hair there. His body instinctively folded at the waist and he sat upright. The stag was no less surprised than Adam and bolted for the safety of the nearby woods.
“I think he was after the salt, Adam.” Evan said, trying to regain his composure but failing miserably. Again he fell into a fit of raucous laughter.
Adam stared at Evan, at first in anger, but that feeling quickly dissolved as he began to appreciate the humour of the situation. Evan wasn’t returning his glare though. He quickly traced Evan’s eyes to his still tumescent member. Adam sighed inwardly and returned to his prostrate position.
“Go ahead, Evan. Have your fill. Enjoy yourself at my expense.” This only caused Evan to redouble his efforts. Adam soon joined him and the sound of their laughter echoed through the quiet lush meadow where they had first made love the night before. It was a good 20 minutes before either of them could speak with any coherency.
“I guess the animals are gay, too.” Evan stated innocently. Again, their laughter took some time to subside.
“If you like, Adam, I would be more than happy to work on your left armpit? Actually, I’m rather jealous of that stag.”
Adam didn’t need to be asked twice as he quickly reached for the back of Evan’s head with his right hand to draw Evan to him.
“Adam, I need to have a word with you, if I may?” It was Betty.
To be continued.

So, Conner, will we be seeing another chapter of "In the Beginning" anytime soon?
I need my Adam and Evan fix.
Kitty
I need my Adam and Evan fix.
Kitty
That was sweet, Kitty. I'm flattered.
I'm planning to have the next installment out tomorrow (Saturday) - it's still Friday here on the west coast. Mind you, if Dom posts TLW tomorrow, I may wait until Sunday or Monday. I'll be too busy fretting over Aiden and Owen.
Betty and Adam (and maybe Eve) are about to have a tete-a-tete on the direction of this new creation. No, a tete-a-tete is not the same as a menage-a-trois! Betty is above that sort of thing.
Hey everyone, Monday is a holiday here in Canada - Victoria Day. So while you're all working, I'll be posting with reckless abandon.
Hugs,
Conner
In the Beginning: The Story of Adam and Evan
Chapter 8: You want me to make what?
Betty stood there silently for a few moments waiting for Adam to respond.
“Of course, Betty. I'll join you shortly. I just need to speak with Evan briefly.” Adam finally responded. She nodded and then turned and walked a short distance away.
“Are you in shit?” Evan asked.
“No. I don’t know why I would be.” Adam replied.
“Well, you were making out with that deer. In fact, you invoked Betty’s name to make it last longer.” Evan said seriously.
“I wasn’t….” Adam began to explain, and then stopped. That smile. There it was again. Without thinking, he leaned in toward Evan and kissed him softly on the lips.
“How could such a simple thing as a smile render me so defenceless?” Adam thought to himself.
“Are you always going to be a tease, Evan?”
“Yes…until it stops working at least.”
“It’s your smile, you dope. It’s so…disarming. I just seem to go to putty when you smile.”
It was Evan this time who planted a kiss on Adam’s lips. “Don’t worry,” he whispered in Adam’s ear “Nothing remains putty in my hands for very long.”
“You are a tease. I love it.”
“What did you need to speak to me about?” Evan asked.
“This talk with Betty may take some time. At least that’s my sense of it. Will you be ok? I mean I would rather she spoke to the two of us.”
“I’ll be fine, Adam. Go take care of business.”
“You’re sweet. I’ll meet you back here?”
“Well, I was thinking that I might go look for that stag deer. He might need more salt.”
“Save your salt for me, babe.” Adam said reaching in for another kiss.
“Babe. I think I like that. Alright then, my salt is yours. How’s venison for dinner sound?”
“Great! Can you manage ‘carrots domes avec gruyere et une salade verte’ with that?”
“Now who’s the tease?” Evan smiled.
“I’ll be back as soon as I can.” Adam hurried off to join Betty.

In the Beginning: The Story of Adam and Evan
Chapter 9: His is all I have
“Thanks for waiting, Betty. I’m sorry. I needed to speak with Evan.”
“You’re concerned?”
“Well, not really concerned….yes, I was. I didn’t know if Evan would be upset that you asked to speak with me. That’s all. I mean, Eve would have had a cow.” Betty held back her smile.
“Tell me, Adam, why were you expecting Evan to react in the same way as Eve?”
“Hmmm…I don’t know. Habit I guess. I’ll keep that in mind.”
“How did Evan react?”
“He seems fine with it.”
“And…?”
“Why didn’t you ask to speak with the two of us?”
Betty was pleased that Adam was being honest and direct with her. A lot more of that would be necessary if this was all going to work.
“I love you dearly, Adam. You were the first man I created. You’ve always been very special to me. I regret not having given you the tools to do a better job the first time around. I want to correct that oversight.”
“I’m not sure what you mean, Betty.”
“Just trust me for now, Adam. It will become clear to you. I promise.”
Adam took a deep breath. He was feeling very anxious and afraid. He knew Betty would keep her promise. But still. He didn’t want to mess things up a second time. It was at that moment that Evan’s smiling face appeared in his thoughts. That calmed him. He was afraid but he wasn’t alone. If trust was called for, then trust he would – if only for Evan’s sake.
“Thank you. Thank you for Evan.” This time it was happiness that caused a single tear to fall across Adam’s cheek.
Betty returned his smile. They both stood in silence enjoying the moment.
Betty broke the silence. “There’s something you’re not telling me, Adam?”
“You don’t miss a trick, do you?”
“Well, let’s not go there right now. What is it? Tell me.” Betty asked.
“I was wondering about Evan. I love him so. He captured my heart so quickly, so completely. Does he love me…I mean, I think he loves me. I do. Did you make him love me?” Adam was trembling. His pleading eyes met Betty’s.
“I’ve changed a few things this time around, Adam. We’ll talk about those. Many of the basics remain the same. That would include man’s free will, man’s capacity to love and the limitlessness of that capacity. Evan can love whomever he chooses, in whatever way he chooses, to whatever depth he chooses. Does that answer your question?”
Adam wiped the tears from his eyes. “Yes, Betty. Thank you. I’m sorry. I’m such a wuss.”
“Adam, I didn’t make you a wuss. I did make you gay. Evan too, of course. I guess I did have a hand in the way he feels about you, but you will have to allow me that, I’m afraid. Now, be on your way. We’ll finish this talk later. Evan needs your help.”

In the Beginning: The Story of Adam and Evan
Chapter 10: Oh deer!
“It’s ok, Evan, you can come down now.” Adam held back his grin as best he could as he watch Evan climb down from the tree.
“He was sure one big buck!” Evan exclaimed as he reached the ground safely. “I had no idea how long I was going to have to stay up there.”
“He wanted your salt, I guess?” Adam mused, happy for a little pay back.
“My salt! He wanted a lot more than my salt. Did you see the erection on that beast?” Adam could no longer contain himself. He doubled over in laughter. Evan stared back at him incredulously. “Go ahead. Your lover almost gets raped by the horniest buck in Eden and all you can do is laugh.” Evan was genuinely pissed.
Adam brought himself back under control. “I’m sorry, Evan, but you have to try and see this situation from my perspective.”
“Your perspective, uh! By all means, let’s look at this from your perspective. You almost lost the best piece of ass you’ll ever see in a dozen Eden’s.” Evan’s anger was increasing now.
“Did you mean that?” Adam asked.
“About me being the best piece of ass around? Yes, I meant it.” Evan hollered.
“I know you are, Evan. That wasn’t what I meant.” Adam said calmly, now looking more serious. “I wanted to know if you were serious when you referred to yourself as my lover?”
Now angry and flustered, Evan glared at Adam. He began to pace back and forth trying to calm himself, but with little luck. He stopped pacing; taking in a deep breath, he returned Adam’s gaze. “Adam, you amaze me.” Evan began to pace again but then quickly turned back to Adam. “I am here for you as you are here for me. Yes, I regard myself as your lover and you as mine. When are you going to get that? “
Adam moved to embrace him. “No, Adam. We need to sort this out. What is it that you don’t understand? This is Eden. It’s a new creation. You’re here. I’m here. What do you need to make this work?”
“I don’t know what I need, Evan. I feel so unsure of everything. I don’t want to screw up. Not again. I’m just so afraid. I’m questioning everything, especially myself.”
“Why are you here, Adam?”
Adam hesitated. “I don’t know what you mean.”
“What are you here to do? What’s your purpose here in Eden?”
“What has that got to do with anything? Frankly, I have no clue why I’m here. I only know I’m happy that you’re here with me.”
Evan’s face softened. “Well that’s it then.” he said.
Adam looked perplexed. “Listen, Adam. A man has feelings, no question about that. But a man cannot act based solely on feelings. Women do that. They’re much better suited for it. A man acts in accordance with his purpose. He does so in spite of his feelings. It’s the way we’re made.”
“Well, aren’t you the wise one.” Adam snickered. “So you’re saying I must find my purpose and I’ll snap out of this funk?”
“It’s that simple. Yes.” Evan replied.
“Do you have a purpose?”
“I do. And when you find yours, we’ll share.” Evan’s smile had returned to his face.
“How do I do that…find my purpose?” Adam asked.
“I believe Betty could help you out there.”
“Ok. Can I have that hug now?”

If there's going to be another chapter soon, it will have to be before May 30th, so that's not likely (this in spite of the fact that my chapters are only a page long
). I'm leaving Monday for Taiwan; I'll be back next Saturday though. I'm trying to keep Evan in a supporting role, but it's getting harder and harder (pun intended
). He's just a sweetheart. I'm jealous of Adam.Hugs,

If there's going to be another chapter soon, it will have to be before May 30th, so that's not likely (this in spite of the fact that my chapters are only a page long). I'm leaving Monday for Taiwan; I'll be back next Saturday though.
Hi Conner , I remembered you were leaving on the 30th, so of course I had to ask about another chapter anyways...hehehe. Be sure to have a safe trip & check in on Saturday to let us know you made it home safely! Enjoy Taiwan, I'm jealous
I'll guess I can wait patiently
till ya get back for the next chapter!Hugs,

Ok, I've gotten myself into deep doo-doo over the following passage from my story.
I was not saying that women are overly emotional and act only out of emotion. That is not what I believe. In fact, that's dumb. I do admit though, that a reasonable person could well have drawn that inference from what I said.
In my view, men tend to lose their way when they act only from their emotions. They make poorer decisions. When emotions are in the forefront, men often compromise their own terms and values, which leads to additional errors.
Again in my view, women are better wired, both biologically and behaviourly, to act from their emotions. They make better quality decisions than men do in these conditions.
In the context of the story, Adam was beginning to lose it. He was operating in an emotional state only. He was becoming totally insecure around Evan's love for him and his perceived inability to do a better job this time around. Adam has no purpose that gives him focus and energy.
All I really wanted to say was that a man without a purpose to his life, a purpose that he's committed to, will lose his way because his emotions will overwhelm him.
Hugs,
Conner

Adam looked perplexed. “Listen, Adam. A man has feelings, no question about that. But a man cannot act based solely on feelings. Women do that. They’re much better suited for it. A man acts in accordance with his purpose. He does so in spite of his feelings. It’s the way we’re made.”

A new chapter should be out by Monday. As an interlude I'm posting this short story. Many of you may well have already seen it as it has been making the rounds on the email circuit for about a year now. It arrived in my inbox again today.
Two Wolves
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, "My son, the battle is between 2 "wolves" inside us all.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

In the Beginning: The Story of Adam and Evan
Chapter 11: On Purpose
“Evan says I need a purpose.” Adam said quietly, staring at his feet.
“What do you think about that?” Betty responded.
“I must admit I’ve been wondering why I’m here, given the mess I made of things last time. Then again I spend a lot of time trying not to think. Thinking is painful. I try to focus on Evan. He makes me laugh and I need that. I don’t want to lose him, Betty. I couldn’t bear that.” Adam went silent. Betty gestured for him to sit near her. “What do you want from me?” Adam asked.
“What are you passionate about, Adam?”
“What do you mean?”
“What is it that if you could achieve it, you would be at peace with yourself? What would it take for you to let yourself off the hook?”
“I want to make Evan happy.”
“You’ve done that already and you’re not happy. Is there something bigger than Evan that you want to create?”
“I want to make things right, make things better than they were before.”
“What specifically do you want to make better?”
“I want people to respect one another, take care of one another, love one another.”
“Good, I want that too.” Betty smiled. “Are you willing to take that on?”
“Will Evan be with me?”
“I don’t think he would have it any other way.”
“Then yes, I’m willing to take that on.” Adam was grinning now. “Can I go tell Evan?”
“Last time I looked, you still had free will.”
___________________________________________________________
“You look like a man who’s discovered his purpose.” Evan smiled at his lover, pleased to see that the weariness was gone from Adam’s face.
“Yes. You were right. Thank you, Evan.” Adam was glowing as he took Evan into his strong arms. There was strength and caring in their embrace. The brightest rainbow that creation could offer arched its way across the sky. It was at that moment that Betty blessed their union.
To be continued.

Not to put any pressure on you or anything, but I sure hope there is going to be more of "In the Beginning".

Yes, there will be more. When your chapters are a page long, I guess you can't claim writer's block.
Usually I never tell the truth first, because then I have nothing to fall back on. So here goes...
I'm trying to build the suspense factor.
I'm holding out while the book rights are negotiated.
I'm waiting for one more person to ask before I post.
I'm lazy and undisciplined.
Maybe I should start a poll.

Hi Conner,
Just noticed this thread today. What an excellent story!
Well you can tick this reason off - I would like to see more!
Cheers,
Neil

KelKel..now is that whistle on a Rainbow Leather necklace? Our Conner has been busy....its tough to write when its hot, he is sending out jokes about hell and heaven.....and doing research about whom he will invite or not to the 2010 Olympics.....and checking his lists twice and see who is naughty (they get special invitations) and compare that list to whom is nice (and if they do research on his lap well)
on that note, back to work I go..heigh ho
good to see you Kel:) and Kitty too:) and lest me not forget our Sweet Mag who like Kitty always has good common sense and smarts in their posts:)

Hi Michael,
Yep, a small silver whistle on a black leather necklace, and it's quite loud- all the better to grab someones attention. *wink*
I caught the post from Conner about the Vancouver Gaymes in 2010. Sounds like a great time.
So Conner,
Which list is shorter...naughty
~or~ nice ? Kel

You have to be on the nice list because you are two of our amazing Rainbow Men.........
....But you are both soooo naughty.

Happy Birthday and may your days all be Rainbow Days filled with Rainbow Hugs and Hershey Kisses and Rainbow Jelly Beans and I remember from your posts that you love marshmellows..so add those and the non fattening kind.......sinfully delicious kind:)
Michael
I really love them all. I didn't get into them much as a kid. but after watching Episode I, II, and, III I'm hooked. There is just someting great about understanding how Anikan becomes Darth Vader that pulls it all together.
See Conner it is time to post a new chapter. We have gone way off topic.
Mag
He! He! Look at my new Avitar
It's so great having the Rainbow men and women all in one place. I know there are more of us out there too. Actually, I chatted with Ed (Edly our superhero ) just a week ago or so. He's in good shape and keeping busy.
Happy Birthday, Mag! Love your new avatar - you sexy thing, you!
Kel, I heard your whistle. You're right. I need to get crackin' and stop slackin'. A new chapter will be posted this weekend - today or tomorrow. I promise. (secret rainbow code message: Have you been to Michigan? )
Michael and Kitty, what's with these lists? My Rainbow friends are definitely on the 'naughty & nice' list! My real intent was to get offers, not to send out invitations. The more I think about it though, invitations might work even better! I still have 5 years to plan!
Time to get to work!
Hugs,
Conner

Thanks Conner and Michael for the Birthday wishes. AHHHH. I'm getting older.
I had a very nice birthday. I'm on vacation, but I stopped at work for lunch and all the servers came out and sang happy birthday. I have some serrious butt kicking to do when I get back. It was wierd not spending it with the hubby, but we talked and I found out he has joined us here on the message board. Now we just need to keep him away from Vic and Marc so he doesn't slip over to the dark side.
Can't wait to read the new chapter Conner and I'm sure Michael can come up with a few offers while you are sitting on his lap.
