Headache
I’ve been arguing today and drinking beer. I do those things most days so I’m not sure why it’s given me a headache today. There hasn’t even been much screaming.

Doubting My Doubts
One of my favorite Apostles is Dieter F. Uchtdorf. He’s charming and measured. He gave a conference talk about doubt and faith and it revolved around the idea that we should doubt our doubts and not doubt our faith. Jesus told a man to believe and the man responded: I believe help me to overcome…

Inactive or Feral
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints would consider me an inactive member when it considered me at all. But “inactive” is boring and weak. I don’t want to be as lame as that sounds. I have begun to refer to myself as a feral Mormon. That sounds weird and a little dangerous.…

Vampires
I’ve been thinking about Wendigos. They are foul spirits that wander the wasteland greedy for flesh and spirits. They are a very different kind of vampire from the ones I grew up fighting. There are some who will just suck the life out of you if you let them. It’s easy to understand how their…

Don’t Reject Me
Christ was despised and rejected and acquainted with grief. I do not want to be. That is all.

Those Gaps
Stephanie and I have a friend who is really into Star Wars. He is convinced that everything in it is possible once we have the science for it. I call this the science of the gaps. Atheists complain about attributing the things I don’t understand to the gods. They are right to a point but…
