Pipes, Valves, And Other Things I Should Leave Alone

We have a water softener machine in our basement. A friend from church disconnected it and shut it off. But the damn thing seems to have been on a very long timer and started again recently. I tried to mess with the timer and that seemed to make things worse. The valves were open and…

In Christ Alone

I just listened to yet another version of the song “In Christ Alone.” It’s a good song but it makes me a little sad sometimes. “No guilt in life/ no fear in death/ this is the power of Christ in me/ From life’s first cry til final breath/ Jesus commands my destiny.” “No power of…

Staying

What are you most proud of in your life? My oldest son was born out of wedlock. I met my wife when his mother and I were not speaking. I never married her. But I still wanted my son to have a father. I moved back to Janesville to be close to him. It’s also…

I am continuing to think about my recent return to beer. I have had it suggested by several people that I should fight the addiction. I have never considered myself an alcoholic.

People’s Worth

My personal calling and mission includes teaching people their worth. I believe in individual worth: that no two people are in any real sense equal. That is countercultural.

A Little Bit Of Everything

If you are just joining me there’s a little bit of everything on my blog. Family, friends, and fun. Intoxication and spiritual rants (sometimes both at once). Victory, defeat, malaise, and melancholy. Some hints at self care, and neurodiversity, and a whole lot of awesome. There will not however be any marathons, or skydiving, or…

Breaking the Word of Wisdom

What have you been working on? I am at the moment working on finishing a second six pack of honey ale. I’ve had a little help from a buddy. He came over and we drank together into the wee hours of the night. That’s something I haven’t done in years because I was trying hard…
