Old vs New

President Bartlet: Good. I like your show. I like how you call homosexuality an abomination. Dr. Jenna Jacobs: I don’t say homosexuality is an abomination, Mr. President. The Bible does. President Bartlet: Yes, it does. Leviticus. Dr. Jenna Jacobs: 18:22. President Bartlet: Chapter and verse. I wanted to ask you a couple of questions while I had you here. I’m interested in selling my youngest daughter into slavery as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. She’s a Georgetown sophomore, speaks fluent Italian,

A Nice Story - Paper Walls

I found a cute story today called "Paper Walls", by KD, a new author here at GA. The story was first post back in early fall, but it just caught my eye today. I read the first 11 posted chapters and I fell in love with it. It centers around a fifteen year old adopted football prodigy from Russia whose adopted dad is a coaching legend of Texas High Football, himself. KD does an awesome job of bringing his characters alive and leaves you wanting more. If fact, the chapters could be longer, but KD

New Story

I've begun work on a new story, a Sci-Fi/Fantasy story. I won't begin posting until it's completed, beta read, and edited. Word of caution, it could take a while. In the mean time, I will continue to develop The Field of Love and at some point, merge it into Trials and Tribulations. I hope I don't disappoint. Billy

Mother

You can only have one Mother Patient, Kind, and True. No other friend in all the world will be the same to you. When other friends forsake you, to Mother you will return. As we look upon her picture, Sweet memories we recall. Of a face so full of sunshine and a smile for one and all. Sweet Jesus, take this message, to our dear Mother up above. Tell her how we miss her and give her all our love. We can

Trials And Tribulations

In case you missed it, Book 1 of Trials and Tribulations has concluded. I've had a lot of support and well wishes through-out my endeavor to write this story, and I thank each of you for your part in making this story possible. I do not claim to be a writer with a lot of skill or professional training, but when I write, I try to pour my feelings into each and every scene. I can only do that with the continued encouragement from all of you. I guess the main way readers can show that is th

Trails And Tribulations

I am almost finished with the last chapter of T&T Book 1. I may need a beta reader to take a look at it for me. If you're interested and have read the book, please let me know. I guess the first sentence has given it away. Book 1 of Trails and Tribulations is coming to a close. It will be out this week, sometime, between now, and Friday night. Thanks to everyone that has read, clicked on the LIKE button of every chapter, and those that left a review. It means a lot to me to final

Ghostboy Aka Cj

Can anyone tell me what happened to Chris? And someone has now answered my question. So I have a few things to say. Chris is someone I met, what is now, years ago. He has a strong mid-western stubbornness, but also a heart that allows him to bend a little from his held beliefs. He is a contradiction of beliefs, but that was because of his bending for his heart. He is a human being first, before anything else. He isn't much for labels and that quickly gained my respect, since I don't beli

Kentucky Clerk Jailed By Federal Judge Over Gay Marriage

Sep 3, 1:59 PM EDT Judge jails Kentucky clerk for refusing marriage licenses By ADAM BEAM Associated Press AP Photo/Timothy D. Easley ASHLAND, Ky. (AP) -- A defiant county clerk was sent to jail for contempt Thursday after insisting that her "conscience will not allow" her to follow a federal judge's orders to issue marriage licenses to gay couples. "God's moral law conflicts with my job duties," Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis told U.S. District Judge David Bunning. "You

The Field of Love

I've started a new story, 'The Field of Love'. My plan is to post a new chapter once a week. It's a story about a fifteen year old boy finding acceptance and love on a baseball field. I've started a forum for the story and I hope you will leave a review on the story so I can learn from you, the reader. It's my intention to give you the best story I can. Below is the links to the proper forum. The Field of Love Forum for The Field of Love

New story

Hiya everyone! As you may know, I've had a rough couple of years, especially the last one. Due to some of the experiences I've had recently, I am hopelessly stuck on the next scene for Trials and Tribulations. I will at some time be able to get through it and complete the story, but for now, I have another idea. I've started a new story, untitled at the moment, but it will involve teenagers meeting head on some serious adult level events that affect this earth and other places as well.

Merry Christmas

This time of year can be filled with joy, excitement, happiness, and what some would call, miracles; but also, dread, loneliness, stress, and depression can be found as well. Don't be so quick to brush off rudeness or an uncaring attitude. Perhaps with a smile, offer an ear to bend, and be the person someone can lean on, you could help bring a miracle into a person's life. Be a candle in the darkness! Merry Christmas

Awesome version of "Run" by Luke Friend

This song goes out to the love of my life, the one person that is my one true love, if I have any love at all. To an amazing boy that captured my heart. I'll sing it one last time for you, but then I really have to go...

Live Love

The following video by Clayton Jennings is not a pro-gay film; however it does point out the hypocrisy of many self-described "religious" people.

Moving on.

Dear GA I have come to a conclusion that is based on actions and non-actions over the last several months. What social life I may have had here on GA has come or is coming to an end. I will meet my obligations to the authors I work with and to my readers. However, that will in all likelihood will be the extent to my involvement with anyone here, with the exception to answer all e-mails and comments made on Trials and Tribulations. There are those here that I love and miss, but even being

Trials and Tribulations

When I posted the last chapter in this story, my life was up-side-down. For years my mother and father had sacrificed a lot, both time and money, to make sure my life was as comfortable as possible for a kid with leukemia. The weekend before this past Christmas, my mother fell down those same stairs I had and broke both of her arms. As bad as this was, especially around the holidays, we thought that was it and we could help her get through the holidays and broken arms without much problems. That

Questions? PC v Laptop, manufacturer v dealer

I'm looking for advice here. I'm in the market for either a new pc or laptop. Money isn't the over-all issue. I want a device that has windows 8.1, i5 or i7 chip, 8-16 gb of ram, 500 gb-1 tb hard drive, that comes with whatever is the best word processor. Where would be the best place to look, the manufacturer or a dealer? And which would be better, a pc or laptop?

Trials and Tribulations

I have decided to end Trials and Tribulations Book 1 The Beginning with chapter 26, Family. I will be taking some time off and then begin the second book, yet to be named. Thank you everyone that ever wrote me, commented on a chapter, and/or left a review. I never expected to have a story of mine to be so well received by so many of you. I truly look forward to writing again on this and other stories. It will take some time to gather together a team to edit and beta for me, but most impo

Love vs Hate

Hi everyone! I hope you all are well and having an awesome day. Those of you that know me will attest that I am a man of many opinions and not shy about sharing them. However, the recent past finds me trying to be more selective in my trips to the soap box to render a diatribe. I believe I have been somewhat successful in this endeavor, at least until now. I have never been accused of being a gay activist and I don't think of myself as one now, either. What has happened now to change my

Silence

It's been five days since her passing and I have yet to have a heavy cry. I know it's in me, but for some reason I'm holding it back. Everywhere I look I see something that remains me of her. Some memory of the past. I keep expecting to hear her voice or see her walking down the hall. But all there is is silence. The house seems so empty now, even when dad is here. Friends stop by, but there's little comfort in their visits. I miss my mom and best friend.

Let the Music Play

I don't believe I've done this before but, Let the Music Play by C James is a book written on the talent level of Tom Clancy, back when he wrote his books. I highly recommend this book to any who loves a good thriller with gay characters and written in a non-porn way. Let The Music Play
