Watch Out For Your Cornhole

You Might Feel a Pinch

When Sheri and I lived in Tennessee, we were very poor and I had very, very cheap Medical Insurance. I had been shitting blood and black stool for weeks and having bad abdominal pain. The doctor at the local clinic where I went gave me medication but it did not help any at all. A “procedure” was going to be required, however, the first test was to be a Prostrate Exam. I was nervous. The room was grey, dimly lit. There was a wrinkled, well used tube of generic lubricant on a stainless steel tray alongside a pair of latex gloves. I will never forget the cold chill of that sterile environment. The doctor came in swiftly and quickly donned the gloves. He instructed me to remove my pants and underwear, to turn around, bend over, and to grasp the table, that I would feel some pressure, but assured me that if I relaxed the process would be much easier and go more smoothly. I will never forget the sight of the nonchalant way he squeezed a giant glob of lubricant onto his finger as I turned around, and that lubricant smell is forever burned into my brain. A pinch! A PINCH! SLIGHT PRESSURE! HOLY SHIT I’ve just been raped! A pinch, my ass! Literally! LOL!!!

…and then it was over. He quickly removed the gloves and disposed of them, told me everything seemed fine, and in a cold, professional way, pointed me towards a stack of paper towels and told me to clean up and come get him when I was done. I was shaking, felt ashamed and dirty, violated, standing there in that cold, dimly lit room with a butt crack filled with medical-grade lubricant after having been anally violated. How foolishly little did I know what was to come!

After having wiped away my shame as best as I could, I went to his office where I had a very hard time looking the man who just had his entire arm, up to the elbow I believe, maybe even all the way up to his armpit, way up in my ass, and I had to sit there and look him in the eye and carry on a conversation. Anyway, he dropped the bomb and had determined that the only recourse was to give me a colonoscopy. We had a problem though. My insurance was not enough to cover a colonoscopy and Sheri and I did not have enough money to pay for one. This doctor was very concerned about the length of time I had been bleeding internally in my intestines so he offered to perform the procedure on me for $700. There was a catch though. I would not have any anesthesia at all for the procedure and would have to endure the pain of a colonoscopy completely conscious. The price for the twilight anesthesia was $600 and Sheri and I just didn’t have the money.

When the time came for the colonoscopy, I was terrified. I mean, in this day and age, they have to actually run a 12 foot, ONE INCH THICK hose up through your asshole and into your intestines! Why not just the tiny, itsy-bitsy, teeny-weenie fiber optic cable alone? Why? WHY? Well, 3 “nurses” held me down while the doctor ran this, what seemed to be a never-ending gigantic black hose up my butt! I’m not saying that I like it in the butt or anything, but once the hose is up your butt, it’s really not that bad to be honest. The part that really HURTS during a colonoscopy is when they blow air into your intestinal cavity so that they can get a better view with the little camera on the end of the hose. OH…MY…GOD… You want to talk about the meaning of pain! Waterboarding ain’t got nothing on pumping air into your guts! OH! There was another part that hurt too, and that’s when they were really mashing hard on my intestines while they were trying to work the hose around.

I struggled, but they kept telling me to relax. But it HURT Damn it! But I also knew that if I didn’t find my inner core and endure it, that all I was doing was making it take longer, making it more difficult for the doctors to maneuver the elephant sized hose they’d jammed up into my intestines, and elongating, prolonging my torture. In that moment of dazed agony, your mind does not always think clearly or logically, and I can recall several instances where this one big “nurse” had to really struggle hard to hold me down, to “remind me” to calm down, that it would all be over soon.

After what seemed an hour of torture, which was probably a 10 minute procedure in all reality, everything was completed and this time someone else wiped my ass for me! I think that is the only time that I can recall, as an adult, having another human being wipe my ass for me. I remember at first being embarrassed when the procedure started, laying there all naked with my cock and balls and ass all exposed in front of a room full of strangers, but by the time the ass-wiping came, I was just grateful that I could lay there and relax while someone else wiped my ass for me. The doctor had wonderful news. He did not find any polyps or anything else out of the ordinary wrong up inside my guts. He warned me that there would be a great deal of farting to come, as is to be expected after a colonoscopy due to all the air that is left behind when they pull that fifty foot long pipe out of your cornhole. And fart I did! I did some of the best farting that I have ever done in my entire life. I am talking about 60 seconds of continuous farting here people!!! I was the world record champion of farting…for about 2 hours, then all my “steam” was gone 😦

About two years later, I went through the exact same spell of shitting blood for weeks on end and having black stool and having a lot of constipation intermixed, all with constant abdominal pain. So I sucked it up and went to my new doctor. Long story short, guess where I ended up? Yep, standing in a room with my pants around my ankles and with some old guys finger up my ass!!! And again a colonoscopy was called for as the only recourse to solve this mystery. Now in those two years: computers have like quintupled in processing power, we have had all sorts of medical advancements, we’ve broken the human genome project, and we now have some medications for AIDS even, but you’re telling me that with all those advancements, you are still going to run that same fucking 12 foot long, 1 inch thick pipe up my ass!?!?!???

Yes, yes we are still going to run, what looked to me like an even LARGER pipe up your ass Mr. Webb. The morning came and I showed up promptly for my anal raping. I had a better job now and I had better insurance, lived in a better location and was seeing a better doctor, but I was still scared just as shitless nonetheless! The room was dark and I was placed on a bed and given a blanket and hooked up to an IV. I was curious as to what was going on and the nurse said that she was giving me a “twilight drug.” What’s a “twilight drug?”

After a few minutes hooked up to the “twilight drug,” I fell into state of almost complete loss of consciousness, a sort of dream-state, with just a small grasp on the threads of reality. I remember being vaguely awake, talking about, “what is a twilight drug” one minute, and the next thing I remember was “waking up” and asking if they were ready to start the procedure yet. Fortunately, the gods of the twilight drug smiled on me and the nurse told me that the procedure was already over and that once I was fully awake, I could leave…but that I should be aware that a great deal of farting was to be expected. And fart I did, long earth-shattering farts that lasted an eternity and made me feel like the Farting Champion of the World!!!

Again, as before, the doctor said that he could not find any polyps or anything else that seemed out of the ordinary, or appeared wrong with my intestines. And again, just as before, shortly after the colonoscopy, all the bleeding stools and abdominal pain went away again. And again, just like after my FIRST colonoscopy, it seemed that the solution to my problem, that the medical solution that actually fixed the problem of the bleeding stool, was to simply perform a colonoscopy on me. Yes, that makes no sense, but now we are two for two. Tedd has agonizing painful abdominal cramps with lots of anal bleeding and black, bloody stool, then he gets a colonoscopy and the colonoscopy itself is what solves the problem. Now that makes sense to no one, but the facts remain the same.

Well, time passes and I have more bouts of these bleeding painful intestinal problems, but they go away after a short while. Most of them, that is, went away after a short while, but then, after another couple of years, the time came where I had weeks of black stool, bad abdominal cramps all the time, and literally shitting toilette bowls filled with bright red blood. I had to just suck it up, bite the bullet and go back to the damn doctor to see what is wrong with my intestines. You would think I would have gotten used to it by now, but I do not think that you can ever get accustomed to standing naked, bent over a table, with a strange man’s hand up your ass, well unless you’re a catholic altar boy maybe. LOL!!! Anyway, it was another trip back to twilight drug land for me, and another 12 foot long, one inch thick black pipe jammed up my ass, wiggling around inside my intestines, trying to find if anything was wrong. And again, nothing could be found up inside my intestines, and again, I went through a colossal bout of farting.

Over the course of almost a decade, science has made leaps and bounds in computer advancements, the bio-tech industry has literally exploded in growth, new medical instruments have been developed to perform microsurgery, and medical science has advanced to the point where we can transplant entire HANDS, grow human organs in petri dishes, and create therapies using the human genome project and stem cell research. And in this same DECADE of miraculous scientific and medical advancements, no one has seemed to have been able to figure out a less-invasive procedure and more quantifiably accurate procedure than to have some old guy jam his fist up your ass? What about making some of those medical advancements in the colonoscopy arena people? So in a hundred years, are we still going to have old dudes fingering your asshole and then ram-rodding a 50 foot garden hose up your cornhole? Really? Well, I’m 39 years old and I’ve already had THREE colonoscopies, and I speak from the voice of experience. When a doctor wants to finger your ass, be warned that the next thing he’ll want will be to stick a big black rubber hose in your bunghole instead! Ye Have Been Warned…

Pigeonholing God’s Saints

God Does NOT Pigeonhole His Saints

I have felt the drawing. I have felt the calling. God has called on me for years and I have struggled and fought with God for years because “Tedd knows what is better for Tedd than God does,” or so “Tedd” had seemed to think that for years, until I gave in to God’s calling, his drawing. I know that it has taken a good toll on me, my resistance, my lifetime of resistance, but now that I have given in to God’s drawing, His calling, my life is much better, even though the mental and physical damage is already there and can never be undone. Well, I guess when they invent time travel, it could be undone! LOL!!! But because I have God’s presence in my life now, everything and anything is bearable. I have a loving and trusting relationship with God, one based upon Complete Love and Complete Trust.


…the drawing…

There Can Be Only One!

There can be Only ONE!

My story is not uncommon, or unique, or special. I have known, personally known over 30 preachers, pastors, ministers, whatever you want to call a “Man of God” (“Man” meaning mankind or person, so that includes women) in my lifetime. The common thread is that they too feel the calling, they feel the drawing from God, but they are not sure what that drawing is, at least they try to pretend or fool themselves into believing that they do not know what God wants them to do, but they really DO know what God is calling upon them to do. Then they deny that drawing because they are afraid, because it is TOO BIG, TOO MUCH for them to handle, to understand, to take on, and it is NOT what they had planned for their lives. God is asking them to shed everything and follow him down an uncertain, foggy path, when they already had clear plans laid out for their lives and that is a huge decision to make, and a scary decision to make; it is a leap of faith.

The Holy Spirit

Many, like me, fight the drawing – that’s The Holy Spirit tugging at your shirt sleeve trying to get your attention – for varying lengths of time, going through ups and downs, usually living in a state of spiritual confusion, almost a type of self-inflicted Purgatory, if you would. For me, I know that I delved deeper and deeper into The Word, and I studied all other major religions, and I was like a virus, weaving my way throughout all the scriptures learning more and more, but still a virus, still sick inside. Everything I studied in the various worlds’ religions had common threads leading me back to God, always to God. And in the end the only way to obtain relief, to kill the virus, the sickness, was to accept The Holy Spirit, allow it to fill me up completely and accept God’s calling. There’s an old timey hymn and part of the chorus is, “he’s calling for you…he’s calling for me…”

When a Preacher decides to follow God’s calling, His drawing, it is the biggest decision that She will ever make in Her entire life. Gone are all the hopes and dreams and plans that She made for Her life, all Her fantasies about shopping for the right pair of shoes to match Her business suit for that high-paying job with the corner window office. Now She will spend Her days visiting sick parishioners while She’s wearing comfortable shoes because She’s on Her feet all day long. She won’t be living in the 3 million dollar house on the hill overlooking the ocean, because a Preacher doesn’t make that kind of money! However, She will receive the hugs and kisses from countless multitudes of people that She has counseled in their darkest hour; She will receive limitless blessings from talking to people on the phone that are at their rock bottom, and perhaps some are even ready to end it and She had talked them back from the edge of death; She will share in the happiest moments of new couples lives as She performs marriage ceremonies or baptizes babies. Best of all, She will receive The Holy Spirit of God each Sunday as She preaches and spreads The Word of God to those who would listen.

I am, by no means, not an expert nor do I have some special power, but I have 40 years of going to church under my belt. Growing up, I went to church Sunday morning, Sunday night and Wednesday night and every 2 months or so, we would have a week-long “revival” where we would go to church EVERY NIGHT and then spend ALL DAY on Saturday and ALL DAY on Sunday at church. I have heard, in person, easily 50 different pastors preach full sermons, and it’s probably more than fifty! I have sat in church and not a peep was heard and I felt nothing. I have sat in church and “Amen” and/or “Praise God” and/or hands were in the air, or the hair on my arms and the back of my neck stood up and I’ve felt electricity run down my spine, and I’ve also been in sermons where I’ve felt The Spirit so strong that I almost jumped up out of my pew because I was so electrified and crying from feeling The Holy Spirit!


Time for church…

Hurst Chapel

Ding! Ding! Time for church…again!

So you can place me in the category of someone who actually “feels” The Holy Spirit. To me, when I feel The Holy Spirit, it feels like electricity running up my spine and all the hair LITERALLY stands up on my arms and the back of my neck. The stronger I feel The Spirit, the more electrified I feel, the more the hairs stand up and then I start to cry uncontrollably, but they are happy tears and throughout this ENTIRE process, my heart is just filled with overwhelming love, just like the love I feel for Sheri, well almost; it’s very, very similar to the love I feel for Sheri.


The Holy Spirit Fills Me…

The Holy Spirit

AAAHHH! I’m being electricuted!!! Turn off the power!!!

Given that I feel The Holy Spirit, when I sit in church and I hear a Preacher giving the sermon, I either feel The Holy Spirit or I do not feel The Holy Spirit. If I feel The Holy Spirit then I call that a good service. If I don’t, then I would call that a boring service. If I feel The Holy Spirit consistently from the SAME Preacher, then that Preacher is touched by God; that Preacher is Holy; that Preacher is following God’s Word; that Preacher is filled with The Holy Spirit; that Preacher is a Saint among mankind. You don’t have to do some kind of great miracle to be a saint in this day and age. If you make a positive difference in your community via The Holy Spirit, by following and obeying The Holy Spirit, by doing God’s Work, by spreading God’s Word faithfully via The Holy Spirit by giving yourself over to God and letting your words be His Words when you Preach, then you are a Saint.

There are fewer and fewer Saint’s among us these days because fewer and fewer people are willing to be selfless. That is what it takes to become a Saint. You feel the drawing, the calling by God to become a preacher. You listen to God’s calling and you adhere to that calling; you obey, fully, selflessly. You devote your life, entirely to the work of God, to fulfilling God’s work, to listening to The Holy Spirit and giving of yourself totally over unto God’s hands to do with as God would have. That is a Saint. And you know how you can tell? You sit in a pew and you listen to them preach on Sunday. That’s how. You listen to their words and if their words offend you, good because they are telling you to stop following the path of man and start following the path of The Word, to start following Jesus.

Jesus' Saints

When She decided to listen to that calling, She made the biggest decision in Her life. Her life would never be the same. She chose the hard path, but the spiritually rewarding path, the right path. However, once She started down that road, She devoted Herself fully, She turned Herself fully over to God. She became a Saint for God. And God blessed Her doubly by sending The Holy Spirit to Her, to guide Her, to lead Her, to show Her the way, and to help Her spread His message, His Word to all those who would listen.

God blessed Her with an overabundance of The Holy Spirit so that She could preach His Word to ALL His people. God does not care that She is a woman. She has a powerful gift of speech. Her faith is strong and unwavering. She has given Herself fully unto God. God would not waste the gifts He blessed Her with only to pigeonhole Her into the role of a babysitter just because She is a woman. God has not blessed Her with the gift of eloquent speech and filled Her with an overabundance of The Holy Spirit, just so She can go and sing, “so the bible tells me so” to small children who still pick their noses and have no actual, tangible concept of God, let alone possess the capacity to grasp the ideas and concepts she is capable of wielding to convey God’s Word. Far too often have I seen Men of the Pulpit take their fellow, equal, often more in touch with God, Saintly Women of the Pulpit, and pigeonhole them into the chauvinistic, “classical female role” of childrearer, instead of giving them the respect they deserve, instead of giving them their rightful place behind the Pulpit! God is smart and not a chauvinistic pig, so why do so many male Preachers question God and outright DEFY Him?
Dear Lord, please help stubborn male pastors to open their eyes to the extraordinary talents women possess.
Amen.


I’m so pissed off at Male Chauvinist Pigs!!!

I Can Make it Better…I Can Fix it Better…

I Can Fix It Better!

As a man, or maybe as a perfectionist with OCD, or maybe just as an idiot, the "when something is fixed enough line" remains elusive to me to this very day. “When Something is Fixed Enough” is simply a concept that my brain cannot grasp apparently.

I cannot even remember how many really cool "things" that I really, REALLY did fix, honestly, originally. But alas, the old "you can make that better" or "you can fix that better" demon weasels its way into my mind, or it was always there – it’s hard to say. And I begin down that doomed spiral of self-delusion and fatal denial as I "make it better and fix it better" until the point that even if I HAD FIXED IT, there would be no point claiming to have fixed it, and I would be made the liar and a fool by such claims because I have now broken it even more so than it was ORIGINALLY broken! So, I have always been “doomed” to the “Guy Who Can’t Fix Shit” title.

I’ve watched other people fix stuff. And I have helped other people fix stuff. And they ALL know “when something is fixed enough” and they STOP me from “trying to make it better.” I’ve gotten better in the past few years actually. Sheri will help ‘Supervise’ me and when I actually have fixed it, she won’t let me try “to make it better,” no matter how desperately, no matter how badly I want to try. She is smart and has become wise over the years, and she has saved us a lot of money from not always having to replace everything because I destroy it beyond all repairs.

It is always embarrassing when someone else points out the fact that I did not completely fix something. I underestimated that damn, mysterious “when something is fixed enough” line and erred too far on the side of caution and only “just barely fixed” it. I hate fixing shit sometimes. I just don’t understand why my “make it better” enhancements so rarely meet the original manufacturer’s specifications and guidelines…
