  • of Mice and Toilets

    We occasionally get a mouse in the house. Usually the cats kill them. We bought some traps for extra protection. They are catch and release traps. I didn’t want anything poisonous or bone breaking in the house. Stephanie believed I was going to release the mouse outside. But it would have just squeezed back into…

  • Why I’m Here

    My testimony is not for sale but I do want to sell my art. I try to keep my two blogs separate so that both those things can be true. Most of my art is non religious and most of my religion is not art. Help me keep a happy medium. I want to assure…

  • The Name of God

    The name of God in the Old Testament is unpronounceable these days. Modern Jews call God Hashem sometimes. Hashem as I understand it just means The Name. There has been a prohibition against speaking the four Hebrew letters of God’s name since at least the time of Jesus. The word means “I am that I…

  • Empty Space

    I have a little shrine in my prayer room. It’s a corkboard with names and signs on it with a little private writing and art laying on the chair where the corkboard is propped. The center of the corkboard at the top is empty. It’s a blank space without any names or signs or art.…

  • Armistice

    On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month the guns fell silent. World War One was supposed to be the war to end all wars. Over a hundred years of that theory being proven wrong makes me sad. I swore an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States and…

  • Fancy Almond Cake

    It’s midnight and I’m eating a layered cake made with almond flour. It’s really good and Stephanie can even share it with me because almond flour is gluten free. When you take the gluten out of wheat it tastes unnatural and wrong. But if you start with something like almonds that didn’t have any gluten…

  • Where are my Weirdos?

    It’s been three days of “Trump is going to be the president again.” Some of you are ecstatic I’m sure and some of you are hurting. But if you have been sticking with me for a while then you know I will try to be awesome no matter who the president is. He does not…

  • Four in the Morning

    It’s too dang early for me to be awake. It’s too dang early for me to start arguing online. And I really shouldn’t have Little Debbie’s for breakfast. Yet here I am with lights mostly off typing away and eating an oatmeal cream pie. I am an unrepentant sinner. Not sorry at the moment for…

  • Do Nothing Day

    I need a do nothing day. I don’t want to even try to be productive. I need to consider how America’s choices will shape my destiny. But not today. Today I’m staying at home and in my pajamas.

  • Election Day 2024

    I voted. The turn out seemed good. My civic duty is fulfilled for the day. It will be a welcome relief to not have waves of political advertisements hitting me from all sides. Of course the USA might descend into riots tomorrow. No matter who wins there will be some very angry people, and angry…
