  • My Two Cents

    I firmly believe in the existence of objective truth, but I am convinced people are bad at finding it, worse at keeping it, and hopeless when those two conditions are met at teaching it. This is a hill oddly enough that I will die on. It is also just a two cent opinion.

  • Ambivalent

    I was pretty ambivalent about my wife leaving the Church until it actually happened. I understand her reasons and share some of them. My testimony has always been irregular and now I am questioning whether I can call it a testimony at all. I have little interest in being temple worthy and remain adamant that…

  • Change (Part 2)

    Things are changing quickly. I missed church because I overslept. The bishop came to the house to verify that my wife wants her name taken off the official records. And we got the canvas of the art that I made for her. A copy of the canvas is available for $100 (sorry we’re not selling…

  • Change

    I just woke up from a dream that we got a new change counter at work and I had to ignore that our general manager was talking about me on the other side of the store so that I could be the first to try it.

  • Calling Off

    I got enough sleep last night. I got enough coffee this morning. My wife did not. I’m staying home from work so she can rest. The boys are loud but they are clean and fed. I’m still in my jammies, so I feel a little guilty for not making more of an effort to go…

  • Diaper and Bath, Please

    I’ve been up for about an hour. It’s earlier than I wanted to be, but my youngest wanted a diaper and bath. I can’t just leave him in a bath and go back to sleep for obvious reasons. So I got up, got him in the tub, and am drinking a Dr. Pepper Cream Soda.…

  • 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…
