  • 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…

  • Personal Witness

    I am occasionally asked online to give evidence of God. On a regular basis I am told that a personal witness does not count as evidence. With strangers on the internet this is absolutely true. Me sharing my visions doesn’t supersede another person’s witness. But the closer two people become the more their life and…

  • Seasonal Depression

    I went to my monthly counseling appointment this afternoon. I mentioned that I was worried about falling under seasonal depression. He knows that I am an evening and night person so he wasn’t sure if it was more or less likely compared to someone who functions best in the morning and afternoon. He looked it…

  • Sacrament Dream

    This morning after changing a diaper and falling back to sleep in real life, I dreamed that I was in Sacrament Meeting and falling asleep there. I was leaning against another brother who didn’t seem to mind. When I woke up I was playing a racing game on my cellphone, but I had to stop…
