DADDY DIVINE

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

MY TOP 40 FRIENDS CHANGES EACH TIME MY HOME PAGE IS REFRESHED. HOPE TO SEE Y O U THERE SOON!! My permanent Top 40 Friends never changes and is split up with those who count me a "Top Friend" listing first and those who I consider "friends" but not on their "Top List" last.

Some call me some Daddy, some DeeDee, and some Divine Daddy!
Glen Milstead, (Divine), tagged me "Dick Divine" in 1979, but he called me "Divine Dick"...lol!

My real name is Richard Barnett and I am just a simple ole fart who loves people. I do not like to let myself get caught up in the snares of "DRAMA" that is so common to our community.


While you will hear me say it several times that I AM BEAUTIFUL, let me be first to say I am imperfect! Some are suspicious of me??? Some say I am a pervert because youth are eyecandy to me...lol!! Some say I am "not normal". Some say "you got it bad"! One Thing for sure, I am a gem in the making as an ole fart!!...a diamond in the rough...but as the old Christian hymn says..."I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep me against that day!"
It is a simple life I live...I live from pay check to pay check just like most people reading this. I have a good heart and I get much gratification in meeting and helping people. I do not think that sex outside a committed relationship is healthy. The last time I had sex was TWO YEARS AGO with my ex of over 10 years! ALWAYS SHOULD BE SOMEONE YOU REALLY LOVE as the song, "Girls and Boys" by Blur says! Drug useage is a clear display of one's weaknesses and I do not condone illicit drugs in my house. (Weed is not a drug!) While some are cautious of my motives of being friendly, others get me right off the bat. They know that I am all about loving them...I am so NOT judgemental, and I am very confident of who I am...MOST OF THE TIME...lol...

I am patriotic! I support the fight against terror this world offers in the way of radical and violent extremism. I support less government and less taxes for all classes of citizens. I support the laws and soveriengnty of this nation and I proudly put my hand over my heart and recite the pledge of allegiance.

Below is a video by one of the worlds greatest comedians of all time. His name is Red Skelton and he held the Sunday night prime spot on CBS for years on Sunday nights. Some of you may have caught some of the re-runs. Some of you have never heard of him but he truly was AWESOME! Take a listen...ESPECIALLY THE LAST TWO SENTENCES!!

I have a ministry to the Atlanta Metro young gay, bi, lesbian, and str8 youth community...those who are learning how tough it is getting started as an adult...those who have fell on hard times...those who need a little wisdom and direction in their life. My ministry is what keeps me young and I do it with great PRIDE!! If you ever are perplexed, feeling down and out and the God above brings me to your mind, Email me for my phone number then, CALL ME! Even if you do not like my advice and counsel, you at least have another caring friend!!

You will never see me on here or anywhere asking for money to fund this ministry...while finances are very tight for me right now, I have not turned away a single legitimate inquiry. Yeah sometimes I get "fakes" looking for a handhout of cash because they spent their grocery money on drugs. When I offer to take them grocery shopping intead of giving cash, and even offer to get them a rehab opportunity, sometimes I never hear back!! If you pray, remember this ministry. If you know someone who needs help, pray and then let me know!!
"IF THAT ISN'T LOVE" Enough about me...send me an email about you!...OR...

Now a few words of wisdom from the Daddy Divine "soap box"...Knowing how wonderful loving people makes one feel, why would we ever hate anyone? Knowing how being generous and tenderhearted makes one survive difficult times, why would we ever be mean spirited? Knowing how looking at ALL people as our equal builds our self-esteem and their's, why would we ever look down our nose to anyone. THINK ON THESE THINGS!

There is no room for hate and contention in the Atlanta gay community! How can we as a gay community be respected by those we are trying to show that we are "real people" if we are contentious, mean spirited, and just plain conceited. We all have to support, encourage, and love one another!


Peace!!


IF YOU DO NOT LOOK AT OR READ ANTHING ON THIS PAGE...READ THIS AND WATCH THE BELOW VIDEOS, P L E A S E !!There are so many sides of me you will see on this page and I hope you can grasp something right off...especially if you have been giving consideration to your relationship with God! The main focus of my page is that you do not have to change a thing about your self to come to God. He wants you to come to him JUST AS YOU ARE. While a lot of Christians fail to grasp the full meaning of it, there is even an old hymn sung often in churches at the "invitation time" for people to come to Christ. It is called "Just As I Am". The God I want you to know is a loving God, free of prejudices!! I am a Christian and I am gay...Just as i am, without one plea!!
IS IT POSSIBLE TO BE A CHRISTIAN AND BE GAY AT THE SAME TIME...ABSOLUTELY! See my blog and this video...explanations and findings that I am gleaning from the Scriptures will be added here as time permits. The truths I want to share are surmountable. So be patient!
John of gays4jesus did not elaborate the fact that in the Hebrew language, there are several words used for "woman". The word used here is also the word that would be used for a woman of ill repute, or prostitute. So if you are a gay man and lying in bed with a male prostitute, then this verse could apply to you.
Speaking of verses...here is the Bible Verse of the day, read it and believe it!

This whole recognition effort is to recognize people who have a wholesome impact in the Atlanta gay community, who are respected and loved by a strong circle of friends in the Atlanta Metropolitan community.

Last month was started with just one award, the Twank of the Month.

Meet my lilman, Absolut Andrew! So far, every month I have known him he has had a different boyfriend, but I guess when you are as hot as he is you can do whatever you want!! Just kidding...he is very special to me and I think the world of him...like a son to me!!
Meet Brandon Cowboy! My friend, confidant, and my example to all young men!!
This photo of Vivian and Vivica, daughters of my roommie, Cameron, has stirred up some interesting rumors at my office of about 2500 people!! The rumor varies around the concept..."Did you know 'Blue' has a new boyfriend and his new boyfriend is half his age and has 2 little girls"!!!!

This last photo in Daddy Divine's "Photo Spotlight" is for all those guys out there who truly think they are bisexual, those who are gay and just say they are bisexual because they have not come to grips with the fact that they are a "faggot", and for those who say they are str8 but don't mind messing around with guys. lol

VOLUNTEERISM: Project Open Hand! As hard as it is with my schedule, I make myself go out of my way to help others. Volunteering is good for the heart. The more you volunteer, the more people you touch. The more people you touch, the closer you come to realize the true meaning of "Greather love hath no man than this!"



JOSHUA BLEACHED IT OUT...I DARED HIM TO DO IT PINK!! MY RANGER FOR CHRIST! Zalinto is most inspiring on MySpace.

I'd like to meet:

My purpose here is to be BEAUTIFUL and a friend to anyone who will let me. It is a great feeling making others smile or laugh. I am not interested in "hook ups"...Let that be clear. Life is too short and much can be done to help others have a meal or help in getting a need met.
I enjoy the spirit of youth today! Since I have been ministering in the Metro Atlanta area to gay, bi, lesbian, and str8 youth (off and on) over the last 30 years in Georgia, I have seen my ups and downs. But one thing for certain, you guys always inspire and motivate me to be the best I can to give back! All of you make me feel 30 years younger. I thank God for those of you who have been friendly to me out in our community. By meeting others, I learn of others who are less fortunate, and the mission starts all over again. Real people who really care are my best friends! It is my desire to die ministering to the needs of others! Thanks to so many of you who make it possible!!


IF YOU HAVE REAL FRIENDS ON YOUR MYSPACE PAGE...DON'T FORGET TO LET THEM KNOW HOW MUCH YOU APPRECIATE THEIR FRIENDSHIP

Sometimes when people see me out in public for the second or third time, inevitably, they always say, "you look different, how do you account for that?"!!

My answer is always, "Well, it just depends on what time of night you see me!!"

As a matter of fact, we were friends on MySpace but then I unfortunately deleted him and was too embarassed to ask for another friend add! Hopefully he will see my link on W's MySpace, and add me back??? We'll see. And if you do Crocker, you be nice to this ole fart!

Heroes:

THE ULTIMATE HERO OBVIOUSLY IS...

Another hero of mine is David...
who God favored as a young lad and in death...Jesus' "earthly heritage" went directly back to David (Joseph was born of the lineage of David).


Jonathan, the son of Saul,
...and David, the forefather of Joseph, (Jesus' earthly father) gives the first hint that God must be pro-gay.
JONATHAN AND DAVID were two young men so much in love that Jonathan had to have his page shoot an arrow in the sky to let David know that it was safe to meet in the high grasses out of view from the palace. While the page stood watch, David and Jonathan would disrobe all the way down to their girdles (jock straps), hug,kiss, and declare their love for one another...(I Samuel). I was taught that it was a custom of that day for men to kiss and hug each other...got news for them...it still is the custom!! lol


Later in their life, when Jonathan and his Father, Saul, died in battle, David gave a lamentation to both of them. The one to Jonathan went something like this... something like, "Thou Jonathan...the love I had for you far exceeded the love I ever had for any woman." (II Samuel)

I was taught in Sunday School that was "Christian love". Well to tell you the truth, I never observed any members of my church disrobe down to their jock straps, kiss and hug and then declare that the love between them exceeded the love they got from their wives!!
