Thank you for visiting my page. I'm a 45 y/o Southern guy living part-time in San Francisco Bay area, and part-time back in South Mississippi. I was raised Southern Baptist, converted to Presbyterian in my 20's, dabbled in Unitarian Universalist in my 30's, and have since gotten away from any formalized "religion". I am a Christian, and consider myself to be farely spiritual. However, it's taken me all my adult years to reach this point. Like most gay men who are brought up with a fundamental belief structure, it's difficult to be true to yourself and feel accepted by those who are "normal" and/or "living in God's will".

I work as a Registered Nurse in both Critical Care and Emergency Medicine out here in the East Bay, and feel extremely blessed to have been given the opportunity to make a career change, as I did back in my late 30's. I feel as though God does have certain goals/missions for my life, and I want to pursue those to the best of my ability. I also feel he has a very special man for me out there - and I'm really trying hard to let God bring that about instead of me following my impatient nature (ha).

I'm a proud uncle of 5 blood nieces and nephews, have a gorgeous little "gay family" nephew, and am extremely proud to have a beautiful God Daughter/niece, who's the daughter of one of my dearest friends. I continue to maintain hope that I too will one day be blessed with a child/ren, but realize that the older I become, the more non-traditional the attainment of that dream may also become.

I'm looking for fellow gay Christian friends. I'm surrounded by many gay men who don't believe, and realize more and more how important fellow Christian support can be in one's life. Lost my mother on 8/19/07 to Pancreatic Cancer, and still grieve daily, all the while being comforted that she's in Heaven with our Lord. Whenever I was becoming jaded to people and their needs/wants, I could always count on Mother to remind me . . . "now Eddie, they're all God's children, and they may not have been as fortunate as you were to be brought up in a loving, Christian home". Man, how I miss her and all her wonderful sayings.
