Same-sex marriage is currently legal in the state of California. Not surprisingly, there is a ballot initiative (Proposition 8, for those outside Cali) up for vote this election that would overturn this hard-fought and newly-granted equality. The proponents of Prop 8 make the following argument on their website arguing in favor of their [...]

Hope
There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills. – Buddha
Last night I watched Barack Obama officially accept the nomination of the Democratic Party for [...]
7 Years
WARNING: Naval-gazing post ahead…
The last few days I have been going through all my blog entries here at RyanSutter.net, beginning at the beginning with my first post in 2001. Apparently March 27 marked the 7 year anniversary of my online journaling but I hadn’t thought to commemorate the anniversary. Today I will do [...]
God As I Knew Him – Part 3
In Part 1 and Part 2 of my posts on my relationship with God I went from early childhood up to my decision to get baptized at the age of 16. I had been close to God and far from God but ultimately decided I agreed with his plan for the earth and decided [...]
Rev. Jeremiah Wright
OK, so I’ve been watching all the supposedly inflammatory videos of Obama’s former minister Rev. Jeremiah Wright and I’m trying to see what all the fuss is about. I don’t see it.
Frankly, I agree with everything I heard him say. When he said that American’s shouldn’t be shocked that 9/11 happened after all the crap [...]

It was interesting because it so clearly illustrated what, until that point, I had only read about which is the markedly different personalities of the various UU congregations. [...]

I know I’ve posted about the garage->studio transformation project before but I just feel like writing about it… It’s my journal. Don’t read it if you don’t care…
This week I actually WROTE A NEW SONG. I haven’t been writing much lately and it’s about 95% environmental. See, Amanda and I have one major [...]
everybody wants some….
My pencil has been very busy with MAF stuff these days. Everybody says that they want to play but I only have a few confirmed acts. The for-sure-100% list consists of Eric Skogen, Daytrip, The Lavone and me. The probable list is Red Letter Day, 6 After 2 and Brian Bishop. [...]
sometimes something amazing happens
This weekend we went to Chicago to spend time with Amanda’s parents, see the Lucksmiths in concert and go to Six Flags and ride roller coasters. We missed the Lucksmiths. We also hoped to go to Ikea, but didn’t make it. The trip was, nonetheless, extraordinary for one reason… Michael. [...]
