Pluralism and Neutrality
For the past twenty four hours I have been arguing in a political group on Facebook that all levels of government should remain as perfectly neutral in religious maters as humanly possible to maintain a pluralistic society. But I feel like I am beating my head against a wall so I’m retreating into my head.…

Many Hands
There’s a proverb that goes, “Many hand make light work.” The more people you have for a job the quicker it goes. I got up earlier enough to take a shower before heading to the project downtown. We had lots of people today so things got sorted and stacked without delay. After the bulk of…

Quiet and Gratitude
Today has been pretty quiet so far. I was able to sleep in which I’m almost always grateful for. We got money for groceries and rent today. I remain grateful for the blessing of a full refrigerator and bills that are payed on time. Love and health inspire gratitude. But I think I’ve said it…

Consistency
I have blogged at least once a day everyday for just slightly over three months. This is to date the most successfully I’ve journaled (if you can call it that) in my lifetime. I think the key to my consistency lies in the fact that this journal is to some small degree performance art. Not…

It’s a Beautiful Day
It’s a beautiful day in the house. I don’t know about the neighborhood. I’m still in my jammies, drinking coffee, listening to my sons empty vocalizations, and contemplating life. The last part is something I do often. I’ve been thinking about forty year old video games and proving people wrong and custody hearings and days…

Productive Morning
I got up a little earlier than I usually do. I went downtown to help with a project for a couple of hours. I checked on my oldest son who had court in Indiana. I bathed the youngest, got his brother off to his day program, and let my final son know that he’s awesome…

Laundry and Motivation
Now that I’m billing for the boys I don’t technically have days off. There’s always work to do for them around the house. I also need to do my laundry today. I don’t HAVE to get out of my pajamas for any of that, but it might give me more motivation to get dressed. There’s…

Start Right, Stay Right
I got up at a reasonable time and got out of the house to work on a project. I didn’t get called back for an emergency and the house is still pretty quiet. My youngest is still asleep. He had a rough day yesterday. God keeps reminding me that when my son is giving me…

Moving Day.
My son has been packing up his stuff to go to the very first apartment of his own. A buddy of mine came over this morning with his truck and we started the process of getting boxes and furniture into the new place. We moved a good third of my son’s stuff into his apartment…

Wrestling with the Sabbath
I went to church today. I told a few people about the week I’ve had. My wife leaving The Church. Letting a homeless man stay in our basement. Losing power for half a day because of financial security issues. Anxiety attacks and meltdowns. Arguments about doctrine most of it bad. And my confidence that even…
