I am sharing one photo each week and one word that
represents what I am grateful for.
GRATEFUL
WORD: CONNECTIONS
Many years ago I met Earl. Over the course of many visits to Salt Lake City and other cities we traveled to at the same time, we became friends. We have shared in the highs and the lows in each of our lives. We have stood with each other in good times and bad, and now sickness and in health. He had surgery on his shoulder and I went to Chicago to spend time with him and help out. I hope he enjoyed the time together as much as I did. We also joined Brad and Waylon for dinner at Hamburger Mary's in Chicago. What a time! I love the connections I have made, have been made with/for me, and that I make. Good times. Good people.

About
the writer…
Royal
D. Bush was born and raised in the Omaha metro area raised in a single parent
family, with his Mother Mildred. His
first many years of life were spent in Bellevue, where he and his mother
attended church at the First Baptist Church of Bellevue. Eventually Omaha became home, where as a
young adult, Royal began attending various worship services with friends and
family before finally calling MCC Omaha his home, where he went on to serve as
Minister of Hospitality.
In
2009, Royal founded Inclusive Life Pastoral Services; a Nebraska, nonprofit,
multifaith based organization that offers care and services to individuals,
couples and families who are not a part of church, organized religion, or have
a religious belief. He is ordained and
serves as a Chaplain. Inclusive Life serves
all without exception, religious and nonreligious. He continues to share his belief and message
that “You are beautiful, you are loved and you are worthy, just the way you
are. You are not alone.”
In
2012 he married his partner of five years, Jonathan. They share a home in the Dundee area of
Omaha. Today, Royal is a member and
attends service at the First Unitarian Church of Omaha. He currently is working on two projects: A 2
hour “You Retreat” that will be offered monthly, at no charge! It will focus on allowing people to
experience themselves in ways perhaps not experienced before or often. And secondly, he is studying and training for
knowledge with Aromatherapy and Essential Oils.
INCLUSIVE LIFE PASTORAL SERVICES
Religious, nonreligious, spiritual, we serve all
without exception.
