Wrestling with the Sabbath
I went to church today. I told a few people about the week I’ve had. My wife leaving The Church. Letting a homeless man stay in our basement. Losing power for half a day because of financial security issues. Anxiety attacks and meltdowns. Arguments about doctrine most of it bad. And my confidence that even…

Day Six
It’s day six of “a homeless man living in my basement.” We all seem to be dysregulated except for him. I love this dude but he’s driving me up the wall. Send help. 😔 29 April 2023

Crafting
Today has been quiet compared to the past week. I actually got out of the house for something fun. I have a friend who does crafting. Little pieces of physical art to trade with other crafters. So she and I went to the Dollar Tree so she could pick up more supplies for her next…

Ambivalent
I was pretty ambivalent about my wife leaving the Church until it actually happened. I understand her reasons and share some of them. My testimony has always been irregular and now I am questioning whether I can call it a testimony at all. I have little interest in being temple worthy and remain adamant that…

Change (Part 2)
Things are changing quickly. I missed church because I overslept. The bishop came to the house to verify that my wife wants her name taken off the official records. And we got the canvas of the art that I made for her. A copy of the canvas is available for $100 (sorry we’re not selling…
