I find Jesus my confidant and companion, brother and savior; our relationship is intimate, vulnerable, demanding yet comfortable and reassuring.

I have glaucoma, so use eye drops both morning and night.

Real answers need to be found in dialogue and interaction and, yes, our shared human condition. This means being open to one another instead of simply fighting to maintain a prescribed position.

Jesus is an example. We have other examples, including many of our ancestors as role models who understood the inner meaning of our orientation.

By my definition, prayer is consciously hanging out with God. Being with God in a deliberate way.

I have osteoarthritis, which especially affects my knees.

Seriously, however, I learn a lot about my physical life in the aging and changing of my body.
