We are called to love, no matter what race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, social status, NO MATTER WHAT, we are called to love.

I'm so happy and proud of Steven Grand, who comes from my very own hometown. Some of my fondest memories of high school are hanging in the Grand's garage til' the wee hours of the morning listening to Bill (Grand), Steve, and the gang jam out. From stories I've heard, coming out to the family was a tough thing to do. I can only imagine the courage Steve had to have to do this. His musical talents are beyond extraordinary. If you get in a room with him, all you want to do is be serenaded by his vocals and instrumental abilities.

Today he has not only made a career path for himself playing in bars and for the church Sunday mornings, but he even funded his own music video on his own. Now he has half a million hits on his first video "All-American Boy" and counting. He will be a star, I just know it! Check out this video from Good Morning America this morning.

Anything is possible, and dreams DO come true. Never stop dreaming, and remember folks, we are called to LOVE.
