I don’t accept advertising, but I do laud companies that help me live out my Christian faith.

The title says it all. Since I’m gay, ordained and out, I thought I should bring up the subject.

The eponymous Jess (Jess’s Journal) makes me happy because she knows how to make an S-ending name possessive correctly, a tiny matter that has long bristled me. Still flu-ish, I guess I bristle easily.
