A Blessing and a Curse
I used to think that life was fair and that we all came into this world equal. Those two ideas seem more than most things to be corollaries of each other. It seems to me that for life to be argued to be fair it would have to start fair and that if people are…

In Ten Years
The other day I read the question (probably here on WordPress), “Where do you expect to be in ten years?” I’ve been thinking about it and I just don’t know. I want more abundance and I want more comfort, but I want it to come to me where I am. If I’m still in this…

Late Night Commission
My wife asked for wall art. She wanted me to design her a medium sized canvas with a Celtic trefoil (sorry we don’t know the real name) on it. She handed me a tiny little earring in the required shape. I spend about an hour on a pastoral evening background and about an hour on…

J.O.B.
A very long time ago I got sucked into Amway for a couple of years. Along with the $200 a month in products I was expected to buy, I was also encouraged to purchase “motivational” material. The actual Amway products counted toward my monthly goal. The dream building tapes and promotional literature did not. Some…

Laundry not Church
My ride to church cancelled last night. I usually take that as a sign from God that I’m needed more at home for the day. I would have liked to have slept in but my youngest wanted a bath in the wee hours of the morning. So I got up and put him in the…

Radically and Phenomenally Better
I am having an argument as I sometimes do with a friend who mourns the loss of what he considers a more civilized world. He thinks that 800 years ago was a better, more moral, more sensible place. But I am convinced he is completely wrong. I suffer from food insecurity but my children have…

The Crack Before Dawn
It’s too early in the morning for me to be awake once again. It’s that Saturday morning energy. My work week starts tomorrow so I should have time to recalibrate today. Hopefully I’ll be appropriately awake for that. I have an Elders Quorum Presidency zoom meeting in 13 hours. I’ll have to stay alert until…

Arizona Rx Energy
It’s my day off from Walgreens, so I really don’t need a lot of caffeine and sugar. But who am I kidding, I need to cut back on those every day. I’m having a second Rx Energy anyway this morning. Each one is 114% of my US Recommended Daily Allowance for sugar. That’ll put me…
