  • Another Church

    Brandon and I went to a different church this morning. It’s run by Pastor Dan who has been a friend of mine since highschool. He knows I’m not converting but seemed excited about the possibility that Brandon would want to be baptized. Brandon liked the service and he and Dan got along great. During the…

  • Fifteen Minutes at a Time

    I don’t get to watch a whole movie very often. There is usually a chore, a child, or a chore for a child that seems more urgent than sitting and watching a moving picture. Today I got to watch fifteen minutes of The Dark Crystal. Ogra has always been my favorite character and it was…

  • Alcohol Polka

    Weird Al has been doing polka covers as medleys for 40 years. Ben likes to listen to his newest one on YouTube. There’s a part where the song blames it on the “a-a-a-a-alcohol.” Ben was scripting that part this morning. That’s up there with yelling, “Kill the men, kill the elves, keep the gold for…

  • Chicken Nuggets and Diapers

    We have enough chicken nuggets and we have enough diapers. Both are delivered to the house. I pay for the nuggets and so far that hasn’t been a problem. We receive diapers as a prescription through medical assistance. I need to be more proactive about those accounts. Barring a collapse of the federal government or…

  • Ben’s New Phone

    Since Stephanie and I have been separating our finances, split to two phone plans. Brandon and I are one one plan and Stephanie set up a plan for herself. Today she put Ben on that plan. Ben’s phone was my old phone. It was cheap when I got it and lasted three years. But it’s…

  • Merlin

    I am playing a Massive Multiplayer Online game (MMO) called Forge of Empires. In the current event I earned Merlin. I wasn’t sure I had actually gotten him because he was not on my allies list. It turns out he isn’t an ally at all. His picture can be used as my profile avatar. That’s…

  • Too Much

    I talk too much and I type too much. The people that need to see this probably will. Good Night.

  • Church with Brandon

    My oldest son Brandon is inspired by my determination to surrender to God. Today he drove me to church again. He is unfortunately not finding the truth about God that he needs most in Mormonism. The Church can be very strict and he does not need that now. So next week I’m going to go…

  • Intimidation

    I can be very intimidating. I have the ability to seem much more violent than I can actually be. My bark is far worse than my bite. That usually serves me effectively. I’ve never killed anyone nor do I want to do so. I have 1st Nephi in the back of my head that if…

    2 Nephi 28:30 “For behold, thus saith the Lord God: I will give unto the children of men line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little; and blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts, and lend an ear unto my counsel, for they shall learn wisdom; for unto him…
