I Should Be Reading
I have done a lot today. I’ve dealt with the trash and diapers. I’ve made food for the boys. I’ve encouraged them to pick up and entertained them. I’ve done art and blogging and social media and video games. I’ve helped with groceries and Zoomed into a church leadership meeting. I have been very busy…

I Don’t Drive
How often do you walk or run? I have never had a driver’s license. When I was living on my own I walked almost everywhere. The busses aren’t very good in town so for a lot of trips it’s just faster to go on foot. Now that I’m married I have gotten spoiled because my…

Leading the Way
Do you see yourself as a leader? I am neither a good leader nor a good follower. I prefer to journey with people. I enjoy the road we both are traveling. Sometimes I do lead but it is usually reluctantly. I question authority on a fairly regular basis and that includes any authority that might…

I’ve Got To Get Better
I saw some beautiful 3D digital renderings of what Aztec capital Tenochtitlan (now Mexico City) might have looked like 500 years ago. They were done with the open source software Blender, Darktable, and GIMP. You already know I love GIMP if you have been following me for very long. My art is paltry compared to…

The Brain
What are you doing this evening? The same thing I do every night… try to take over the world. But seriously I don’t have any plans out of the ordinary. Laundry, diapers, social media, and video games. I hope to do some art and I’ll probably make another general post here before the night is…

Believing in Myself
I’m thinking today about a conversation I had in my twenties. A close friend asked if I believed in myself. I told her that I believed in God. Not satisfied with my answer she repeated the question. She did not think believing in God and believing in myself was mutually exclusive. I think I believe…
