"A janitor and a jailbird a judas and a judge. Alchemy can kill you, whats a little smudge? A most impervious inquisition, an affinity for fudge. Marble cake can make you swoon and the boys will have to wait. A junior in the making hinges on your fate...

Aztec. Incan. Mayan. Incongruent counterparts. Congressional acts of post traumatic stress induction.

Affiliations with affluent artisans are invitations for acts of attrition. Stars are for shooting; dress for dinner. DNA of DEA.

Endowed: A mission in nouns Hyperactive Son of Sam Entwined in cords Harmonious Dischord Apocolyptic Astroturf with lane lines rolling by

A swimmers penchance for backstroke flags And baseballs distaste for fags Acute Rimbaus: lofty goals Combined in the By and By

December 1, 2004                 

    "Dreams"

I was very happy to be with a group

of people that were all nice + comforting 

to be with.  One man showed us a

home movie of him doing a sort of 

battle like dance with a bison.

"Blue Me"(c)DanielMcCree.Org

We were all on a beautiful

island with hundreds of people. My

friend from high school was with us

+ after the man showed us the 

clip + talked for awhile I guess

we all went to sleep.   When I 

woke up I stepped out of the room

and headed toward the bathroom.

All of the people on the island were

very attractive + I felt good to

be among them. I felt something 

strange in my mouth like my

tooth on my left side was loosining.

 Panic set in + I tried to keep calm.

I reached a mirror + was horrified

to find my front teeth falling out.

I pressed them back in + went out

to the beach where there were many people.

Daniel (Danny) McCree (1979-2007)

I noticed dolphins swimming + decided

to swim.  I met a dolphin + its stern

was soft.  It talked to me + gave

much sympathy.

I'm careining (Careening) a little right now

I know I'm gonna be alright

and I  also know Ive made

mistakes and missed maneuvers

which may have taken me a

route that would leave me feeling

something similar to what I once.  (wants)

Sunday Church not your thing? MCCGSL Offers an Alternative~

www.MCCGSL.org
www.HopeandHelpCenter.Org

Metropolitan Community Church of Greater St. Louis offers an alternative to those in our community, who aren't able to visit on Sunday mornings. By offering our Video Sermons, Weekly Devotionals, and other resources completely online.

"The Outreach to our community, must reach beyond our four walls. ",
explains Colby Kluthe, editor of The Hope and Help Center. "By offering such resources online we are able to offer spiritual support to those who may not live near our facilities, including those who live in rural parts of our region, and quite simply, those who are not yet comfortable going to church in the traditional sense."

MCC of Greater St. Louis, has been a part of the fabric of the LGBT community since 1973, and has long since had a tradition of "Radical Inclusiveness". With a newly renovated facility at 1919 S. Broadway, MCCGSL is looking forward to expanded outreach as the congregation of more than 350, continues to grow in both number, and spiritual unity.

"Come as you Are... Believing as you do." Is a phrase the members have really taken to heart.
However it is recognized that many in our community-at-large consider MCC a church home. Today they have a variety of ways to become a part of our ministry, even if "Going to church" simply isn't thier style."

"Through our online outreach, we have been able to connect with many people, who otherwise may not have found a community where they are welcome, and accepted in God's love~ just as they are. Many of them, participate in the "virtual world", and are what I like to call "Online Members".

MCC of Greater St. Louis Worships Sundays at 9AM, and 10:30AM , 1919 South Broadway in Soulard, or as stay updated online at www.MCCGSL.org, and at
The Hope and Help Center, located online at www.HopeandHelpCenter.org .
