Welcome to my identity crisis. This is ONE website with FOUR interchangeable names, depending on my mood. Any of these domain names will bring you here. Just think of them as Me, Myself, and I, plus the Voices in my head ;-)
NudistPoet.com = TadCreations.com = JTK.CA = NudeCreations.com
I am moving towards being identified "simply" as JTK.CA (of course, simplicity is a long way off--but I'm working towards it).
Since I've created so much over my life, you'll probably always come across the occasional NudistPoet.com, TadCreations.com, and NudeCreations.com labels, even though I'm moving toward signing all future creations with the JTK.CA moniker. If you're confused, don't worry; I was first.

So much of popular Christianity is baby food and leaves me starving and cynical. Not so the preaching of Charles Price. I love hearing Charles Price preach; rather than baby food, his preaching is a steak dinner. He preaches the truth that sets us free; and that truth is Jesus. "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled" (Matthew 5:6, NIV). Get filled at LivingTruth.ca and study God's word for yourself at BibleGateway.com

SANDY HESSEL, TAD'S INSPIRATIONAL NUDIST FRIEND
Read the Story of Her Sacrificial Love
MY HERO:
My dad, The Rev. David R. Ketchen, who drove almost a thousand miles to help me make it through my last week of classes during an academically dismal semester in college.
Dad is a retired Presbyterian pastor. Over the years, during Monarch Butterfly season, Dad has often done a children's story that spanned over a few weeks in Sunday morning services. The kids (and adults) got to see the transformation from caterpillar to butterfly over that period. This is a photo I took of one of the butterflies in my parents' condo, before Dad set her free. Enjoy.

To human life
Because they forget in whose
Image it was created.
God longs for us
More than we could ever long for romance.
Our feelings of rejection
Are nothing compared to his.
We are worth more than the galaxies to him.
Don't turn away his love.
You are worth more than you can know.
God made you in his image,
So he gave you your own will.
You can use that will to embrace or reject
The God who sent his Son for you
And offers you his Spirit too.
But it's your choice.
Your Creator respects you that much.
Created in the image of God,
This is the measure of our worth.

"MATTER-ENERGY CONVERSION" by JTK.CA
This is a self-portrait (with the aid of a ghost photographer) combined with two of my poems, summing up my views on nudity. I included the poem, "MATTER IS NOT EVIL," in conjunction with the spontaneous erection I had while the picture was being taken, because I am so tired of the hypocrisy of so many nudists who preach body acceptance yet condemn innocent erections. The erection is often involuntary and happens at the time of its own choosing, whether the owner likes it or not. My message to my fellow nudists is spontaneous erections are not behaviour; they are a fact of life. In a nudist setting, having an erection is not bad behaviour; playing with it is. If an involuntary erection appears, do not shame the innocent by telling him to cover his hard penis with a towel or take a dip in the water to hide the offensive member; unless you want to take back your "body acceptance" mantra and join the mainstream world who finds human skin, which God created, to be offensive.

Tad (JTK.CA) is a dedicated supporter of
ClothesFree.com (ClothesFree International, Inc.).
He is "Tad@NudistPoet.com" in the ClothesFree Forums.
In Tad's opinion,
ClothesFree.com is the best "introduction to nudism" site on the web
and is the most in harmony with his Nudist Christian faith.

Tad (JTK.CA) and Toronto's Steve Martin built a friendship in the early 1990's based on their mutual addiction to the music of ALAN PARSONS (AlanParsonsMusic.com). Steve is webmaster of the official Alan Parsons fan site, The Avenue Online (TheAvenueOnline.info). Tad, as you know, is webmaster of the infamous NudeCreations.com, which you are currently browsing.
The above photo of Webmaster Tad and Webmaster Steve was taken by Tad's ghost photographer, Webmaster Kathie. Kathie Anderson is Tad's best friend from Valparaiso, Indiana. View Kathie's great photography at her website (kjaPhoto.com).
Tad (JTK.CA) is not the only Nudist Christian in the world. There are quite a few of them.

Some of ORB TORONTO's most populated nude swims at indoor public pools have a hundred or more nude swimmers. Other swims have less but still have a good number.
Tad (JTK.CA) is a CN Towerholic. He's been awestruck by the World's Tallest Building since in was built in Toronto in the mid-1970's. The CN Tower is 1,815 feet, 5 inches (553.33 metres) tall and is Canada's Wonder of the World. It is one of Tad's favourite things to photograph. Visit the official CN Tower website (cnTower.ca).

Stephen Colbert
"Stephen Colbert, host of 'The Colbert Report,' speaks more truth than all the networks combined! He is a comic genius! He's also a darn good actor. I saw him play a serious role on 'Law & Order,' and he was awesome!"
