Changing Beliefs
Tonight I have been thinking about how much control we have over our beliefs. I don’t think it’s very much. I think we charge into reality and only start or stop believing something because the truth hurts. I get into so many arguments online. None of them really hurt. Nobody on the other side of…

Admitting I’m Wrong
I have trouble admitting I’m wrong. My solution to that is often not to take a position at all. “Both sides make good points.” But I’m coming to the conclusion that not taking a position might be more wrong than taking the wrong position. At least with the latter there is hope for correction. As…

The Law is Dead
The idea that we are not saved by the law is a pretty typically Christian one. The Law of Moses is dead. The extension of that is that we are alive in Christ. But I don’t think that only in Christ can we be alive. I think that a Jew who follows the spirit of…

A Choice of Life or Death
I ponder 2 Nephi 2 again today. “27 Wherefore, men are free according to the flesh; and all things are given them which are expedient unto man. And they are free to choose liberty and eternal life, through the great Mediator of all men, or to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and…

Pajamas and Casual Work
What are your two favorite things to wear? My most favorite outfit is pajamas. If I was making so much money off my art (and my writing) that i never had to leave the house I would wear pajamas all day, shower at night, and put on a clean pair of pajamas for bed. But…

Traveling
Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why? I don’t ever get to travel at this point in my life except occasionally to my parents’ cottage on a lake half an hour away. So I have a little bit of beach for as much as I want it. I’ve also been to both oceans, so…

The Choice
450 am CT. I just woke up from a dream where I was arguing with my wife. It was the argument that I’ve had in a thousand forms with a hundred people. I argued that the choice between good and evil was more important than the choice to be good. She (and so many others)…

Day Four
It’s day four of a house full of COVID. I have been alternating between calling it quarantine and lockdown. Everyone seems to be doing a little better. I’m not as tired and achy. But my throat still hurts and my taste buds are way off. I took some migraine meds for my head and an…

Who’s to Blame?
Are you holding a grudge? About? I don’t have any grudges against people except possibly myself. I constantly perseverate over the dumb things I have done in my life. From the little things I shouldn’t have done to the things I wish I had said. I think it’s a common experience to be harder on…

Diaper and Bath, Please
I’ve been up for about an hour. It’s earlier than I wanted to be, but my youngest wanted a diaper and bath. I can’t just leave him in a bath and go back to sleep for obvious reasons. So I got up, got him in the tub, and am drinking a Dr. Pepper Cream Soda.…
