    Giving up one word I should really stop using the word fuck and it’s derivatives. It is not particularly useful. There are better ways for me to emphasize my speech. I might try making a New Year’s resolution to avoid the word. Or I might forget about this post by then. I don’t use it…

  • Love My Neighbor

    Christ makes the seemingly simple command to love my neighbor as I love myself. As a teenager I found a workaround to that directive. I did not at the time and sometimes even now love myself. I was off the hook. The more I hated me the less effort I had to put into loving…

  • Just Another Thursday

    I’m doing and feeling pretty good today. I’ve mostly been home taking care of the boys this week. In between that I’m blogging and playing video games. As usual I’ve had a few Facebook arguments and done a little art. I’ve also been entertaining myself by testing ChatBots. So even though Thursday is technically my…

  • Who’s to Blame?

    Are you holding a grudge? About? I don’t have any grudges against people except possibly myself. I constantly perseverate over the dumb things I have done in my life. From the little things I shouldn’t have done to the things I wish I had said. I think it’s a common experience to be harder on…

  • Europe

    Traveling from home. When I was in high school, my uncle flew all over the world professionally. His employer paid all the airfare, so he built up a bunch of frequent flyer miles that he didn’t need. He offered them to me so I could take a week long trip to Germany. I had been…

  • Why I’m A Mormon

    The Book of Mormon rises and falls on the single claim that Jesus visited the Americas after his resurrection. No amount of historical or archeological data can prove or disprove that one thing. The same is true for the resurrection itself. The central claim of traditional Christianity has to be taken on faith because it…

  • Laundry Mat

    Got dressed… Check. Kids are away for the afternoon… Check. Laundry… Crap! Our dryer is broken so not only have I left the house today but I have also gone to a laundry mat. I haven’t had to do this in years. My wife got me two rolls of quarters to “treat myself.” So I…

  • Rooms for Everyone

    Ideal Home I would like a home where everyone I love can have their own room. A place of safety, for all my family and friends that need it, would be ideal. The ability to take care of all the people that have been there for me remains a dream of mine. Like everyone that…

  • My Discharge

    Tears of joy I rarely cry and I can only think of one time when I could consider it tears of joy. I had a prescription for psychiatric medication that I had gotten from a civilian therapist. I took that prescription into my advanced training assignment in the Army. At the beginning of training we…

  • Holidays are Loud

    We live pretty close to the center of town. When they stage a parade all the acts gather in the neighborhood. It’s not as bad as Fourth of July when individuals are lighting their own fireworks all over the place, but it can still cause some dysregulation in the house. Labor Day is a decent…
