  • Taking My Phone

    When I start playing music on my phone my youngest son often takes it from me. It can be YouTube or LDS Hymns and he wants to follow along. I have been trying to learn the first surah of the Quran. It’s maybe a minute long. He knows that but still takes my phone to…

  • Hometown Health Store

    We went to a store called Basics Health today. It’s a fully functional health orientated grocery store. It occurred to me that I had been going to Basics for forty years. I would walk home from school as a teenager and it was a little shop along the way. My parents never objected to me…

  • Praying for Discernment

    Since at least the time I started this blog I have been praying for discernment. I think God’s answer is No. I went outside because there was a commotion and one of the kids ended up taking my phone and running away with it. I chased him down the street in my bare feet until…

  • Pressurized Olive Oil

    Stephanie has a spray bottle of olive oil. The label says that olive oil is the only thing in the bottle. The warning says not to spray near heat or open flames, but I mean isn’t that the whole point. It also warns not to spray pressurized olive oil into your eyes. I worry that…

  • Prayers

    I am reassessing my relationship with Jehovah. I just think that as far as male transcendent gods go Brahma is superior. The other metric is that if Jehovah is the correct god there is no stretch of my imagination where I’m okay in his eyes. Brahma (if true) almost certainly doesn’t mind my penchant for…

  • Diarrhea Judgement

    I consider myself a judgmental person. Once I get to know someone my guard will sometimes come down a little. The longer I know someone the more pronounced that effect becomes. But I judge strangers from their first word. I met Paul Ryan once. I went up to shake his hand and he declined. He…

  • Performance Anxiety

    This blog is largely performative. I motivate myself to make an entry every day because I have an audience and I don’t want to let that audience down. There are about 100 accounts following me. Many of them are just marketers and scammers that don’t care what I have to say but are willing to…

  • 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…
