Unfocused
It snowed overnight last night. I started shoveling this afternoon and got about half of it done. Then I completely forgot because I’ve been unfocused. It’s dark now and I shouldn’t shovel at night. So instead I need to go to bed early and restart the shoveling at dawn. It needs to be done before…

Chemicals
I’m feeling off today. I’ve been taking my psych meds at erratic times and in the past couple of weeks I’ve been self medicating. I’m too old to be treating my body like a chemistry experiment. And it’s not like anyone actually wants to party with me. I’m not feeling very nice. I mean that…

The Long Walk
There’s a little comic book tract called “The Long Walk” (you can read it online). It talks about a man who thinks for himself and puts off converting to Christianity until a later date. He meets a guy on the spacious highway who tells him he’s right, and that he doesn’t need Christianity yet, because…

Trolling Trolls
A lot of people believe that we just have to be our authentic selves and the world will be a better place. I disagree because a lot of people are gross. I am the pot calling the kettle black. The proper response to trolls on the internet is not to troll them back. But I…

“Mormon bad. Smith bad. You Cult.”
I got called a cultist yesterday. My skin is getting thicker about the accusation. I’m starting to realize it usually comes from people that don’t actually want to engage in theology. If someone says Protestantism is better and wants to make a positive argument about grace, salvation, or the trinity it is possible to have…

Nosebleeds
The house is warm and dry. That is a good thing now that Wisconsin is heading into winter. But furnace air has the side effect of occasionally giving me nosebleeds. Today I got a nosebleed. It wasn’t entirely the air’s fault though. I was trolling trolls on Facebook. That made me dysregulated and edgy. I…

Wage and Debt
If you get in any arguments online with Americans you probably have an opinion about minimum wage. Mine is that the real minimum wage is $0. If you can’t or won’t do the work for the wage they pay then you will not get paid at all. To show the hypocrisy of any other argument…

Spoons
One of my favorite cartoon characters is The Tick. His battlecry is “Spoon!” It confuses his enemies. On the other hand “spoons” is used in disability community to talk about energy and capabilities. If I have a lot of spoons then I can do more and do it better. If I have less spoons I’m…

Who’s Christian?
I can’t go a day on the internet without running into a few people who try to declare definitively that Mormons aren’t Christians. To me that seems pretty hypocritical for someone who claims to follow Christ. It is ultimately up to Jesus whether he says “Well done good and faithful servant” or “Depart from me.…

Cake and Iced Tea
I woke up late because I stayed up late. I’m still tired. But I joked to Stephanie that this was like shooting myself in the foot and then complaining that my foot hurts. I’m awake and have eaten a little so far. Cake and iced tea for breakfast. I need to make better choices if…
