  • Another Denomination

    When I drifted out of the Episcopal Church I started exploring other religions. When my views about God started to positively coalesce I found myself increasingly drawn to Mormonism. It seemed far enough away from the Christianity that I was rejecting to accord with what I actually believed was true. I am beginning to wonder…

  • Pictures of Jesus

    I have two very large pictures of Jesus. They are both LDS art. One is just a headshot in a white robe with a red cloak. If you’ve seen any LDS art you’ve seen this one. The other is a Sermon on the Mount print. I think. Maybe it’s a “suffer the little children to…

  • Charity

    Times are rough but I am blessed. The struggle is real and necessary but so is the gratitude. I want a more abundant life so that I can bless more people with mine. I’ve been studying the scriptures today but I have also been drinking. Those probably cancel each other out. I am not content.…

  • The Left Hand of God

    Most of the scriptures that I have read that say anything about it at all insist that we try to be on the right hand of God. That is the place of so-called honor. But there is also much less competition to be seated at the left hand of God. A man will get nearer…

  • Covenants

    I am not an obedient man, but I like to think I can make and keep covenants. Stephanie and I have been faithfully married for almost 30 years. That is the covenant I am most proud of keeping. My oldest son’s mom made me promise that I would not try to take him from her.…

  • Halloween 25

    Today Stephanie and I dressed up for Halloween. Well, kinda. We intend to use these as regular clothes too. It started raining before Trick or Treat was supposed to start and except for one family that came really early we didn’t get anyone else. Two adults and one kid that yelled that what I had…

  • Sleep Hygiene

    It has become apparent that I need better sleep hygiene. I stay up until early in the morning and then have trouble waking up because of the Theory of Duh. I am aware of the problem however I am not yet committed to a solution. With many of my health issues I wait until I…

  • The poop has left the building

    It’s Wednesday and tomorrow they collect garbage from our bins. Once a week I remove the diaper garbage and clean the cats’ litter boxes. I throw away a lot of poop. Someone has to do it.

  • Bloody Nose

    I got my first bloody nose of the season. Once we turn the furnace on the dry air makes my nostrils weird. This time it was even more strange because it happened in the shower. I went to open the door and realized that there was blood on my hands. It’s difficult to dry off…

  • Pajama Day

    One of the advantages to working from home is that I don’t have to put on clothes. One of the disadvantages is that I sometimes stay in the same pair of pajamas for several days. I wore clothes yesterday but today has been completely a pajama day. If you are coming to visit give me…
