  • Cold Pricklies

    Stephanie and I are in a long term argument about whether I argue too much. When I was little I had a book that taught me about giving people warm fuzzies and not giving them cold pricklies. It, like most of my childhood, created a very unrealistic expectation of my capabilities as an adult. I…

  • Ravenous Wolves

    The Bible warns about people that present as sheep but inwardly are ravenous wolves. It’s good advice. It also reminds me to be open about the areas where I am a ravenous wolf. Even at my worst I want people to know what they are getting from me. To me the idea reinforces my desire…

  • My most feared monster

    The most fun monster I ever created for dungeons and dragons was a Smurf. They had one hit point and could only be killed by one hit point of strangulation. Two hit points popped them in half and the two halves grew into two new Smurfs. All extra damage had a similar effect. 10 points…

  • Storms

    Last week was stormy. Snow all over the place. We got ours in Wisconsin earlier this week. The lower Midwest and East Coast got hit hard with snow in the past couple of days. And then there’s the shit storm in Minnesota, but I would sooner argue about Jesus than ICE. It all comes and…

  • No New Snow

    Today has been a quiet day in the house. Stephanie allowed me to sleep in except for the times that Ben did not. My extended family is dealing with city crippling snow storms. Today it didn’t snow here. The gratitude is real.

  • Full Coverage Car Insurance

    Danny is talking to me about Full Coverage Car Insurance. It hurts my brain. Stay Awesome! Stay Weird! Or Stay Away!

  • Testing Positive

    I try to remain politically aware. I try to maintain a focus on life and liberty in my daily interaction. Stephanie thinks I’m making everything political nowadays. But of course that isn’t completely accurate. I am becoming very argumentative about religion as well. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt in both…

  • Soda and Chocolate Fairies

    We have soda and chocolate in the house. I’ve got Ben convinced it’s magic. But Stephanie and I are the soda and chocolate fairies. At some point I grew up. My homeless friend Raven stopped in this evening. He was covered with snow and drunk off his ass. I fed him because of Jesus or…

  • Memes and Me

    I spend a lot of time engaging with memes. I make a few here and there, but mostly I just reshare the ones I like. Sometimes I steal them for my personal collection. They are mostly politics, satire, and dark humor. Sometimes laughing at things is the best way I can deal with them. Once…

  • Pharisees

    I have the unpopular opinion that the Pharisees get a bad rap. There are things on which they were correct. It is better that one man die than for a nation to dwindle in unbelief. They were certainly as history shows mistaken to aim that at Jesus. But I think the principle is sound. It…
