  • Stuck in Crisis: Excerpt 2

    I’d joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints back when they still called themselves Mormons. I was never very good at complying with Church dogma. I smoked cigarettes. I drank coffee, tea, and alcohol. I had a lot of trouble with the kind of clean living that was required to be eligible to…

  • Rich

    What could you try for the first time? I have been poor or mostly poor all my life. By American standards that usually hasn’t been too bad. I’ve lived with food insecurity but have never been in danger of starving. I’ve missed rent a few times but never been homeless. And I’ve always had clothes…

  • Liberation Day

    Today marks the 34th anniversary of my discharge from the Army and the 23rd of the last time I smoked marijuana. In celebration I have refrained from killing anyone and remained sober. If there’s ever a holiday in my name it should be today. Be awesome Folks.

  • Day of Rest (Kinda)

    I got up and went to church this morning. Both Sacrament and Gospel Doctrine Class kept me engaged most of the two and a half hours that I was there. I’ve got some good friends in the church. If my wife were to die they would bring the boys and I food until things got…

  • Stuck in Crisis: Introduction

    I am working on a book tentatively titled Why Are You Stuck in Crisis?!? How to Get Unstuck and Out of Crisis. When I started this project, I was most definitely not okay. I found myself stuck in a relentless, perpetual state of crisis. I felt trapped, incapable of moving forward, terrified of sliding backwards.…

  • Books

    What have you been putting off doing? Why? First of all I have a pile of books that has been steadily growing much faster than I am moving through them. With Walgreens and Caregiving I find it hard to quiet my mind enough to just relax with a book. So instead I play video games…

  • Blammo

    I’ve been saying “Blammo!” out loud a lot. Not to anyone mind you. Just when I make a good move in my mobile games mostly. “Awesome!” is for y’all. “Blammo!” is for me. Just saying.

  • Thursday Evening Liturgy

    When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)? My father is an Episcopal minister. He would occasionally take me over to the church when I was 7 or 8 to give my mom a break from my scripting. Sometimes I would listen to the stories of the choir director…
