Your circumstances don't define you but rather they refine you.  Knowing your true identity and that it is different from the world you were born into is the key to living an authentic life even though authenticity brings adversity.

Life lived is life learned.  Every experience has facts, concepts and applications.  These are stories from the eclectic life of Lonnie Jones, Licensed Professional Counselor, Minister, SWAT Team Chaplain, Outdoor Enthusiast and Quixotic Jedi.
