Total Nuclear Annihilation
I was a teenager in the 80s. It was the Cold War and the Arms Race. We were sold on the fear that the human race was half an hour from extinction. The nuclear warheads were aimed directly at me and Ronald Reagan was the only one that could stop them. Kids these days are…

Being Someone Else
If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why? As I contemplate this question I can think of a few people right off the top of my head. It would be amazing to live for a day as Jesus Christ or Joseph Smith Jr. Mohamed and Gandhi are also…

Letters and Calls
I have had a busy day. Along with my usual blogging, art, and scripture study I have also written several letters to debt collectors and made phone calls to a list of Elders Quorum members. To top it all off I drafted a promotional page for a new satirical religion. Don’t worry though I’m not…
