Sacrament Dream
This morning after changing a diaper and falling back to sleep in real life, I dreamed that I was in Sacrament Meeting and falling asleep there. I was leaning against another brother who didn’t seem to mind. When I woke up I was playing a racing game on my cellphone, but I had to stop…

Know it all
“Declare if thou knowest it all” (Job 38:18b KJV) I did my scripture study today as usual. I chose Job 38 and listened to the King James Version and the Spanish recitation from whatever translation the LDS app uses. It hits someone like me hard. I’ve always been kind of a “know it all.” And…

Done Good

Stuck in Crisis: Excerpt 2
I’d joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints back when they still called themselves Mormons. I was never very good at complying with Church dogma. I smoked cigarettes. I drank coffee, tea, and alcohol. I had a lot of trouble with the kind of clean living that was required to be eligible to…
