D&C 135
I like to believe I have an informed testimony of the martyrdom of Joseph Smith Jr. The basic fact that he was murdered in jail before he could stand trial for treason is uncontroversial. Whatever else you might think of his life and glory he was definitely shot to death before he could be tried.…

Saturday “Fun”
This morning there was an early knock on the door. It was the artist formerly named Raven (the homeless dude I sometimes talk about). I let him in and went upstairs to get dressed. He helped himself to Ben’s chicken nuggets which set Ben off. Raven/Rick/Ricky is going by the alias River now. He had…

Fighting
Ether didn’t come in the house tonight until Stephanie called him. He’d been fighting so she rubbed beeswax in the tender areas. Ether likes to fight. I joked that I do too but neither one of us is any good at it. I need to continue to ask Jesus to take away my fighting disposition.…

Letting God
I am contemplating the idea of “Letting go and letting God.” My life is in turmoil. Those who are closest to me know the details so I will not continue to post them publicly. I am painfully aware that I am not in control of anyone else and I am surrendering even my own will…

Jesus’s Birthday
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints was founded on April 6th, 1830. While it is not canonical, some Mormons including myself believe this happened on Jesus’s Birthday. The Christmas date just makes less and less sense to me as time goes on. Why were shepards in the field with their flocks in…

He Lives in our Heads
I just told Stephanie to shut up about Donald Trump. He is living in both our heads. He’s just a bum. He’s not a god. He is not a demon. Presidents are supposed to go away. I really hope on January 20th, 2029 he goes away. Back to real estate. Maybe he’ll find Jesus. Jesus…

Mediator
One of the things which I am more convinced than not about Judgment Day is that Jesus is the mediator not the judge. For some this is a contentious point of view. The Book of Mormon teaches in some verses that Jesus is in fact the mediator for us with the Father and in others…

Everyone Wants Jesus…
Everyone wants Jesus to be some specific thing of their choosing. A Christ, or a Messiah, or a Prophet. A white man, a black man, or a yellow man. A socialist, a feminist, or an individualist. And don’t forget the people that don’t want him to be at all. A lie, a fairy tale, or…

“Coming Down” is live
I have written a story called: Coming Down. It is a story that explores what the day of the crucifixion would have looked like if Jesus had refused to die. I’d like to thank the publisher Irreantum for another acceptance. Enjoy my story and the rest of the work they produce. Stay Awesome, Stay Weird,…

Storms
Last week was stormy. Snow all over the place. We got ours in Wisconsin earlier this week. The lower Midwest and East Coast got hit hard with snow in the past couple of days. And then there’s the shit storm in Minnesota, but I would sooner argue about Jesus than ICE. It all comes and…
