Hard Day for Mormons
Today was Fast and Testimony Sunday. I wasn’t planning on going to Sacrament Meeting but I decided to fast anyway. I started my fast at 11 pm Central Time. When I woke up in the morning I got news that the prophet and president of the church had passed away at almost exactly the same…

Dress for the Job You Want
I’ve been in my pajamas all day. I like it that way. I don’t have to put on clothes for diapers, meds, and baths. I don’t have to put on clothes for video games or social media. I can do art and writing just the way I am. I’m not comfortable leaving the house without…

Healing
Stephanie has been writing about healing a lot lately. Her own healing is her story to tell and she is telling it sporadically. My own healing is relatively minor compared to her needs. I hate being sick. I don’t allow health problems to slow me down when I can help it. But that means when…

Changing Beliefs

The saying is generally well received because most people believe that they have correct principles and want to govern themselves. The problem of course is that people don’t agree which principles are…

Accents
I occasionally hear people complain about English spoken with foreign accents. I am usually fairly forgiving of people who know my language better than I know theirs. Spanish accents don’t bother me, neither do Mediterranean or Indian accents. Oddly enough though when it is obvious that English is a person’s first language and they pronounce…

Am I Helping?
My homeless friend came again today. He got his replacement ID. I didn’t look but it probably still has my address on it. We talked and he, Ben, and I listened to Weird Al. While the song foil was playing he talked about someone who he was sure knew everything about the Illuminati. He said…

Visiting my Granddaughter
Today my oldest son Brandon drove his mother and I (and his girlfriend) to Indiana to visit our granddaughter Nevaeh. It was a good visit but I hate being on the road so now I need to decompress. She’s a beautiful little lady and so much fun.
