  • Lacking Wisdom

    I made a New Year’s Resolution to describe myself as gnostic more often and a weirdo less often. But I can’t seem to convince anyone that I have experienced eternal truth. That is a very hard sell. On the other hand most people agree without much thought that I am a weirdo. If any of…

  • Poop Day

    It’s garbage day tomorrow. That means diapers and cat litter need to be taken out of the house and put into the garbage bin. All that poop is my responsibility. I have almost no sense of smell which is a small blessing on poop day. It mostly stays pretty contained during the week which is…

  • Free Speech

    A long time ago I swore an oath to defend The Constitution of the United States. I promised the federal government that I would kill and die for it. I am not legally bound to that promise any longer. I am far less enthusiastic about most of the Constitution but I love and will fight…

  • What I Know

    I am completely convinced about eternal progression. We lived before this life and chose to come here to progress. We learn the lessons of mortality as a form of progression. When we leave here we will learn the lessons of immortality and continue to progress if we choose. As we embrace the divine we become…

  • Another Good Day

    I’m good. I didn’t need to get dressed today. I took a shower and got right into clean jammies. William did his laundry this evening. We had hamburgers and shared with my homeless friend Raven. He agreed to do dishes which was helpful. Things are quiet again and I finished my last beer.

  • Real and Necessary

    Today started with a struggle. Stephanie went on vacation and the boys are a handful on my own. But she came home early because she found herself and didn’t like the experience of being completely alone. But the struggle turned into gratitude for each other.

  • Me and the Boys

    Stephanie is taking a sabbatical this weekend. She is at the Cave of the Mound to be inside the earth. She is probably communing with Heavenly Mother tonight. The boys and I are doing alright without her. The past few times she’s gotten out of the house overnight without us have been in the hospital.…

  • New Year, New Microwave

    My life is never dull. Ben started screaming because our microwave did not heat his chicken nuggets. Upon examination the heating element had fail. The timer ran, the light turned on, and the plate spun, but the nuggets came out frozen. He tried several more times to heat them then ate them frozen. That motivated…

  • Sacred Texts, Autism, and Anthropology

    I believe in a historical Jesus. I am fascinated by the mythical Jesus. I think that the New Testament is the beginning of that myth and that it continues in the Quran and the Book of Mormon. I study sacred texts through a lens of autism and anthropology. I am not an evangelist for my…
