  • Chicken Nuggets and Diapers

    We have enough chicken nuggets and we have enough diapers. Both are delivered to the house. I pay for the nuggets and so far that hasn’t been a problem. We receive diapers as a prescription through medical assistance. I need to be more proactive about those accounts. Barring a collapse of the federal government or…

  • Ben’s New Phone

    Since Stephanie and I have been separating our finances, split to two phone plans. Brandon and I are one one plan and Stephanie set up a plan for herself. Today she put Ben on that plan. Ben’s phone was my old phone. It was cheap when I got it and lasted three years. But it’s…

  • Merlin

    I am playing a Massive Multiplayer Online game (MMO) called Forge of Empires. In the current event I earned Merlin. I wasn’t sure I had actually gotten him because he was not on my allies list. It turns out he isn’t an ally at all. His picture can be used as my profile avatar. That’s…

  • Too Much

    I talk too much and I type too much. The people that need to see this probably will. Good Night.

  • Church with Brandon

    My oldest son Brandon is inspired by my determination to surrender to God. Today he drove me to church again. He is unfortunately not finding the truth about God that he needs most in Mormonism. The Church can be very strict and he does not need that now. So next week I’m going to go…

  • Intimidation

    I can be very intimidating. I have the ability to seem much more violent than I can actually be. My bark is far worse than my bite. That usually serves me effectively. I’ve never killed anyone nor do I want to do so. I have 1st Nephi in the back of my head that if…

    2 Nephi 28:30 “For behold, thus saith the Lord God: I will give unto the children of men line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little; and blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts, and lend an ear unto my counsel, for they shall learn wisdom; for unto him…

  • Hippie

    It’s been a long day. First for the record I need to say I hate “banker’s hours.” I went to a credit union at 3:30 to set up a new account. The only person there authorized to do that was in a meeting until four and wasn’t taking any customers after that. That stinks for…

  • Fighting

    Ether didn’t come in the house tonight until Stephanie called him. He’d been fighting so she rubbed beeswax in the tender areas. Ether likes to fight. I joked that I do too but neither one of us is any good at it. I need to continue to ask Jesus to take away my fighting disposition.…

  • Therapy

    I saw my counselor today. I told him above the divorce and that the only sincere apology I can make is changed behavior. Letting go and letting God. No more beer, no more THC, no more masturbation. I buried my weapons of war. She told me at some point this week that she hopes I…
