Let me take you on a brief journey through the fascinating history of Querétaro, a city whose story spans from its colonial beginnings to its current status as a thriving metropolis. It began in 1534 when D. Juan Sánchez de Alaníz designed the city’s layout. Just a few years later, in 1540, the Great Convent…

Talking about Jesus and his sexual orientation can be an eye-opening conversation—one that often sparks curiosity, discomfort, or even resistance. But what if we put aside our preconceptions for a moment and simply explore the idea? Not to be provocative, but to reflect on what we believe and why. Some scholars and theologians argue that…

Imagine walking through a bustling town square, where the voices of debate swirl around like autumn leaves in the wind. In one corner, you hear a passionate faction rallying for values they claim are rooted in faith and tradition, specifically the Evangelical Christian Right. But if you take a moment to really think about it,…

I’m not sure how much longer I’ll be on Facebook. If you want to keep up with me, you can find me on BlueSky, Substack, and my personal blog. It’s only a matter of time before my voice is silenced here, and I know I’m not alone in this. Censorship on Facebook isn’t just happening—it’s…

I woke up this morning with Cat Stevens’ “Morning Has Broken” playing on loop in my mind, like a quiet prayer lingering from some half-remembered dream. It was my sister’s favorite song. Today, the lyrics feel heavier, more urgent, as if they’re asking me to wrestle with questions I’ve been avoiding. “Morning has broken like…

This a serious question about homophobia. If you are going to hate us at least have a good reason, but first this. In so many ways, our life as a gay married couple is just like any other marriage. We wake up, eat breakfast, and get to work in our office. We take a lunch…
