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…

Beyond Good an Evil
I am contemplating the nature of God and the type of god that I am willing to worship. I would like to be a good person worshipping a good god. But human beings are complex and that complexity comes from a divine nature that is a combination of good and evil. But I suspect that…

Thanksgiving 24
It’s a relatively typical day at home. We don’t do turkey, but three of my four sons are here, and they are having a good afternoon. We have a lot of reasons to be thankful. The furnace works, the refrigerator is full of food, the plumbing is decent, the electricity is on, and I obviously…

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

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…

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…
