• The Day After Easter

  Reverse Lent is over. Will I live a cleaner more holy life for Jesus or is this just like the New Year’s Resolutions people make and break three days later. I’ve already decided that I’m not actually going to give up beer. I haven’t had THC in weeks hopefully I can stay away from that.…

• Maundy Thursday

  I think today is called Maundy Thursday. I have never known why that is. Latter Day Saints don’t have any special services during Easter week. And I haven’t been to Sunday services in a year for that matter. But I woke up too early and am thinking about life. Reverse Lent is almost over. I…

• Joining Conference

  I woke up in time to turn on General Conference. A few minutes into it Ben sat on my head behind me. I went to get a chair for him and when I came back he had taken my chair so I sat next to him in the one I had just gotten. It was…

• General Conference A25

  Today and tomorrow The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is holding its semiannual General Conference. I listened to the first two hour block in my pajamas this morning. But I brought a spirit of contention and sloth. I don’t remember much from it and it only finished an hour and a half…

• Big Changes

  This morning when we woke up the entire family was cured of autism. Ether was actually a girl cat and gave birth to a litter of six kittens. I have decided to convert to Buddhism, give up all my worldly possessions, and join a monastery. . . . Lastly it is April Fools Day in…

• Church in Jammies

  Next weekend is the General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It is available on the internet. I usually try to watch some of it, but it’s five two hour blocks, so it’s been a long time since I’ve watched an entire Conference. Going to church remains an obstacle that…

• Snake’s Day 2025

  It’s St. Patrick’s Day and I am a snake that he would try to drive out. I got into a conversation with a Catholic once about what needs to happen to heretics. He eventually blocked me because I want to freely exercise my religion. If you haven’t already seen I am a Mormon and my…

• The Wagon

  I am going to have a few beers tonight. We went to the health food store and they carry a little bit of craft beer. I couldn’t resist. Stephanie argued that because of the THC I can’t really consider myself sober anyway. I didn’t fall off the wagon, I jumped. I joked to her that…

• New Year Message 25

  If you are reading this you are part of a very elite, weird, and awesome group. I have been here for nearly two years and have no plans of leaving. I hope I provide a little inspiration each day to be creative, silly, and perhaps even holy. I’m still looking for sanctification and solace. As…
