  • Christ in the Immigrant

    A friend challenged me to see Christ in the immigrant. There is good Biblical sense in that. “For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in” (Mt 25:35 KJV). But mostly I just see Lamanites. The Lamanites…

  • Time for Books

    I go through phases where sometimes I read voraciously and others where I have to push myself to read. I’m currently working slowly through three books, one chapter a day. The first is Doctrine & Covenants. I’m about a quarter of the way through that but still in the 1830 chapters. I got a book…

  • New Printer

    I got a new printer. It works on 4×6 photo paper. I accidentally put the glossy side in wrong for the top one. New Printer

  • Case of Mistaken Identity

    My wife has been telling me about a person in her childhood for years. He was kind of a jerk to her. A guy with the same name from around the same period in her life married her best friend. But she didn’t realize that they were two different guys. Now she is having an…

  • Big Couch

    Last week Stephanie took Ben to pick out a new couch. He found one he liked and we’ve been promising he would get it today. The delivery people brought it in the house and up the stairs, but sadly it was too wide for the doorframe. So they brought it back downstairs and it’s our…

  • The Bombs Bursting

    Another 4th of July has come and nearly gone. I stayed up until early this morning and slept most of the day. The neighbors are lighting fireworks all around. I haven’t heard any sirens so I guess nothing has gone terribly wrong. Explosions sanctioned by the local and state governments are an interesting way to…

  • Yardwork

    I have a buddy that mows the lawn, but he doesn’t do the weed trees at the edge of the house. Today I took my clippers outside and cut down all the stuff growing at the edges. This doesn’t actually kill anything unfortunately. I think we would have to use herbicide to do that, but…

  • brother god

    I am having another conversation about how much I can or even want to follow Jesus. The traditional view that he is fully God and fully man detracts from the ability and desire to do so. If I am not also fully god and fully man then I can’t really be a disciple. He can…

  • New Computer

    I got my new computer today. I took the old one down then set up everything on the new one. Then I realized I hadn’t backed up my personal files from the old computer. So I took the new one apart, set up the old one again, saved all my individual work to a flash…

  • Knowing Scripture

    I use the term scripture loosely. When I started reading one of the first things my parents got me were Bible comic books. I think the brand was called Arch. I have a distinct memory of the battle between David and Goliath in soft pastels. I’ve been studying the Bible ever since. Over the years…
