Prayers
I am reassessing my relationship with Jehovah. I just think that as far as male transcendent gods go Brahma is superior. The other metric is that if Jehovah is the correct god there is no stretch of my imagination where I’m okay in his eyes. Brahma (if true) almost certainly doesn’t mind my penchant for…

Diarrhea Judgement
I consider myself a judgmental person. Once I get to know someone my guard will sometimes come down a little. The longer I know someone the more pronounced that effect becomes. But I judge strangers from their first word. I met Paul Ryan once. I went up to shake his hand and he declined. He…

Performance Anxiety
This blog is largely performative. I motivate myself to make an entry every day because I have an audience and I don’t want to let that audience down. There are about 100 accounts following me. Many of them are just marketers and scammers that don’t care what I have to say but are willing to…

of Mice and Toilets
We occasionally get a mouse in the house. Usually the cats kill them. We bought some traps for extra protection. They are catch and release traps. I didn’t want anything poisonous or bone breaking in the house. Stephanie believed I was going to release the mouse outside. But it would have just squeezed back into…

Why I’m Here
My testimony is not for sale but I do want to sell my art. I try to keep my two blogs separate so that both those things can be true. Most of my art is non religious and most of my religion is not art. Help me keep a happy medium. I want to assure…

The Name of God
The name of God in the Old Testament is unpronounceable these days. Modern Jews call God Hashem sometimes. Hashem as I understand it just means The Name. There has been a prohibition against speaking the four Hebrew letters of God’s name since at least the time of Jesus. The word means “I am that I…

Empty Space
I have a little shrine in my prayer room. It’s a corkboard with names and signs on it with a little private writing and art laying on the chair where the corkboard is propped. The center of the corkboard at the top is empty. It’s a blank space without any names or signs or art.…

Armistice
On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month the guns fell silent. World War One was supposed to be the war to end all wars. Over a hundred years of that theory being proven wrong makes me sad. I swore an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States and…

Fancy Almond Cake
It’s midnight and I’m eating a layered cake made with almond flour. It’s really good and Stephanie can even share it with me because almond flour is gluten free. When you take the gluten out of wheat it tastes unnatural and wrong. But if you start with something like almonds that didn’t have any gluten…

Where are my Weirdos?
It’s been three days of “Trump is going to be the president again.” Some of you are ecstatic I’m sure and some of you are hurting. But if you have been sticking with me for a while then you know I will try to be awesome no matter who the president is. He does not…
