Space Between The Holidays
Christmas is over and a new year is fast upon me. Some people take time to reflect. I am doing that. Some people plan how a different year is going to make them a different person. I am not doing that. I’m pretty content. I’d like a better way to sell my art. I’d like…

Why am I here?
In the grand scheme of things I do not know why I am in exactly the right place and time. I mean I’m needed, useful, and happy. I’m also an unrepentant sinner by anyone’s version of such a thing.

Done Good
Today I did a good deed. I hope you have too. I’ll leave both to your imagination. I’ve played on Steam, had a Mexican Coke and a Japanese Sprite. I pushed out another piece of trashy digital art. I’m blogging right now. I read scripture in German and listened to hymns in English with the…

Life Goes On And On
It’s been a busy day. I woke up late and had to rush my morning routines because it was already afternoon. I got the boys situated then went to help a friend with groceries. Lots of cleaning and chores. A little digital art, a little scripture, a few hymns. I’m only just now trying to…

I Bought A Mug
I have a decent collection of coffee mugs and this is my newest addition. The verse I am choosing to take out of context today is the one in Doctrine & Covenants 89 about hot drinks. I brewed that last of my cocoa instead of coffee to break it in. I’m not supposed to have…

Choices We Can Make
I am a believer in the concept of moral agency. This is primarily a religious view. The freedom to choose is baked pretty deeply into Mormonism. But another secondary reason it that it seems counterintuitive at best that humans would have evolved a sense that we have freewill if it were only an illusion. That…

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…
