Happy Easter to everyone
This is a good time of reflection for me. 1988, the year God took away my compulsion to drink and I realized a personal relationship with Christ. Not the “christ†taught by the “church†( each domination insisting their doctrine is the only true one) BUT, a real, personal, loving relationship with Jesus “The Christâ€. Accepting of all, without condemnation, based on Love and Acceptance.
That’s been 23 years, without drink (and 22 years without smoke) and a real struggle to change my way of thinking and acting. 23 years of trying to come to terms with who and what I really am. “A Child of God – One with Christ.
Not much to say about it – only my actions can really tell the truth – Jesus said “If you love me you will follow my commandments†– I can only hope and pray for the strength to do that – as He said “If you see me, you see my Father†– and I can only pray that others see a clearer reflection of God through me.
This is the world of differences, hatred, ego based decisions, limited, lonely and without hope, ending in death. And YET, in this world, Christ has shown me a glimpse of Heaven. Opened my eyes and set me on a path of discovery and peace. I don’t even want to mention sexuality but my being “gay†was a major obstacle I had to come to terms with. I love being me, I don’t want to be limited to any broad classification or group, I don’t want a label, I am just Frank, and I prefer to be in the company of men, and I thank God I have been brought to Thailand. The story begins anew each day.
He Has Risen – Blessed Easter

Pea stopped by for a very short snapshot session – We plan on doing more next week when we have more time – But I thought you would like to see this handsome man’s portraits. I did several shots when he was a monk in earlier posts – but really look forward to doing some sexy shots in the future – if he agrees I’ll post them here for all to see.

Today was the last day of the 3 day Shan festival “
Started off Sunday by going to Monk Chat at Wat Suan Dok. Special class to talk with the monks about starting their own blogs. (Left to right) Phra’s Veasna, Denny, Boumy, and Ritty were there for this first meeting. we plan to have more and go over setting out their own web-sites and stories – I’ll post the URL’s when they are on line – Should be great reading.
Then I headed to the Kad Suan Kaew Shopping Center for lunch. Spotted 
Kevin and Chaat on the escalator on the way to lunch and passed by a setup where several artist were making drawings for the crowd. Cute little guy sitting there – but very hard to stay still.
for a “Dancerise Contestâ€. I only had one memory card with me so I was very limited in the number of shots I could take. Here is just a few from the first acts:
