Memes and Me
I spend a lot of time engaging with memes. I make a few here and there, but mostly I just reshare the ones I like. Sometimes I steal them for my personal collection. They are mostly politics, satire, and dark humor. Sometimes laughing at things is the best way I can deal with them. Once…

Pharisees
I have the unpopular opinion that the Pharisees get a bad rap. There are things on which they were correct. It is better that one man die than for a nation to dwindle in unbelief. They were certainly as history shows mistaken to aim that at Jesus. But I think the principle is sound. It…

Easy Chair 26
I have spent most of the time I have been awake today in my easy chair or going to or from it. I am still in last night’s jammies. And yet I have been relatively productive. I can do a lot from my phone: reading, writing, art, and most importantly checking up on family and…

Fulfillment
I am content at the moment. I am several beers into my night and just finished a really good hamburger. The house is warm, my laundry is done, and we are not expecting any more visitors today. I have a wife who loves me and children that need me. I am useful and that is…

The Sweetest Thing
Brandon and William came over tonight. Brandon’s girlfriend LeeAnn was with The four boys, Stephanie, and me. Ben had a very hard time watching the movie with us but he let it play when everybody else did. After everyone went home I asked Ben if he had fun with Brandon and Will? He answered “love…

Anxiety
I’m still not sleeping right. I’ve been getting to bed at midnight fairly regularly but when my alarm goes off at 10 am I shut it off and try to go back to sleep. I’m sleeping a lot but it doesn’t seem to be doing very much good. I simply don’t want to be awake.…
