Earthly and Divine Principles
A few weeks ago I shared this picture of four snakes. A I have pondered my own art I have come to the conclusion that it need to mean something more than just thumbing my nose at St. Patrick. The snake is an earthy symbol. They are very grounded spiritually in this reality. Each of…

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…
