  • Afternoon Meltdowns

    I went to Walgreens. I worked for 45 minutes. The power went off at home. My boys had afternoon meltdowns. I punched back out and quickly found a ride back home. Two minutes after I got in the house the power came back on and everyone returned to their routines. Except for me. I was…

  • Too Early in the Morning

    I woke up hours ago. The most productive thing I’ve done with the quiet of the morning is to send out a message about independence from sin. I wrote it two nights ago so I can’t give myself much credit for just sending it. I’ve also been meditating on the visions I’ve been having. That’s…

  • Our Kitty is Cool

    It’s hot and smokey around South Central Wisconsin. Even the house is a little uncomfortable today. The coolest place in the house is the cold tiles just behind the front door. Of course that means our kitty is cool.

  • Loving Her

    It’s another late night that has turned into an early morning. I sit in the den as I do sometimes contemplating the combination of love and stress in my life. In particular right now I’m thinking about how I can make my wife’s life less stressful without being overwhelmed in mine. I’ve been loving her…

  • Cat’s Toys

    Our cat has a few favorite toys. One of them is a plain blue string. She’ll play fight with my wife and me over it. My youngest son does not approve of us moving the toys. When they are not in use they have to each be in one exact spot on the office floor.…

  • A Relationship not a Religion

    You’ve probably seen people typing or maybe even talking about their walk with Jesus Christ being “a relationship not a religion.” I have always been suspicious of the idea. I grew up in the Episcopal Church and for all its faults it was still a community of believers. There is a power in organized religion…

  • Broke and Tired but Loved

    I’m tired of being broke and wouldn’t be broke if I weren’t so tired. But I will keep working at life. I will take care of my family, I will go to Walgreens, I will make art, I will write, and I will spread as much peace, joy and love to all of you as…

  • Woke Me

    I got to stay in bed until a decent time before my son woke me for a diaper and bath. It’s been a good morning, though nothing out of the ordinary. Maybe my day will get weirder. It usually does. I did beat Adventure from Atari which is available to stream online. Brings back a…

  • I Want to Rest

    It’s been a good day. I’ve been here at WordPress and in my art. I haven’t obsessed as much as I usually do with my video games. I’ve had a lot of lively virtual conversations. The boys remained fed. My wife unfortunately had to leave the house for that and one other errand. But we…

  • Too Much

    Too much THC and caffeine. I really should put the iced tea away. It’s weird that tea is technically against against the Word of Wisdom but that THC technically is not. The Baha’i have the same problem. Alcohol and tobacco are forbidden but marijuana is not. It makes for some very strange theological conversations.
