Good Friday 26
It is Good Friday so my anti Lent vow to not quote the Bible is over. I have quoted the Bible today, but I have also quoted the Book of Mormon and the Quran. “Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.” Matthew 5:4 KJV “Behold, they will crucify him; and after he…

Pica
Eating things that aren’t food is called pica. I ate paper as a child. I swallowed string. I did some serious damage to my digestive system eating mint flavored toothpicks. Ben inherited pica from me. I saw him picking at a cardboard box and putting tiny scraps in his mouth a few days ago. Yesterday…

Just a Wednesday
This morning I got a call while my phone was in sleep mode to let me know that Alex’s day program is on hold until everyone gets the Medicaid paperwork in place. Maybe he’ll go back tomorrow maybe it will take a month. I didn’t see the voicemail or the text until after my alarm…

Not a Saint
I am not a Latter Day Saint. I am a Latter Day Sinner who declares his unworthiness before God.

Pustular
I learned a new word today. Something that is oozing pus is pustular. Ether’s butt is bloody and pustular. He needs to see a vet, but nobody has the spoons for that. Stephanie put on some lotion and it seemed to help. He’s in better shape than he was this winter in all other regards.…

Sober
In honor of Stephanie’s Brother who’s been sober for two weeks I will not be having any beer tonight. I hope he has a mellow evening and I hope you do to. Stay Awesome! Stay Weird! or Stay Away!

Theopneustia
Some say the Book of Mormon was plagiarized. The Church insists that it was translated. Both those explanations fail to compel me. I do not know another book in the world like the Book of Mormon except maybe the Quran. I will get to that in a second. I have an intimate knowledge of what…
