A Chapter from Alma
“7 Now there was no law against a man’s belief; for it was strictly contrary to the commands of God that there should be a law which should bring men on to unequal grounds. 8 For thus saith the scripture: Choose ye this day, whom ye will serve.” Alma 30 (Book of Mormon) It would…

Mormon and Me
As you are probably already aware I spend way too much time on Facebook. I really love looking at memes and occasionally make a few myself. There’s a page called Mormonr that posts quality Mormon themed memes. I got into an argument today over the use of the word: thy. If I use thy I’m…

Why I’m Here
My testimony is not for sale but I do want to sell my art. I try to keep my two blogs separate so that both those things can be true. Most of my art is non religious and most of my religion is not art. Help me keep a happy medium. I want to assure…

Forgot to Fast
Today is another Fast and Testimony Sunday. I didn’t realize this until after arriving at church (having previously eaten breakfast). At least I made it to church. The testimonies were pretty standard today. Everyone loves Jesus and “Knows The Church is true” better than I do. I’m full of a lot of beautiful little spiritual…

I Fast and Pray
Today is Fast and Testimony Sunday. However I did not go to the Sunday meetings. As a matter of fact I haven’t gone to Sacrament at all this year. Sunday is supposedly a day of rest, but I have NEVER found church the least bit restful. I have trouble sitting through lectures. I enjoy socializing…

She did not think believing in God and believing in myself was mutually exclusive. I think I believe…

Sunday Screaming
I was going to go to church this morning. I was going to keep a fast. I might have even gotten up to bear my testimony. Those things sometimes happen. This morning they did not. My youngest got angry and aggressive. It took hours for him to calm down at all and he’s still pretty…

Fast and Testimony Sunday
I got up and bore my testimony today in church. I was wearing my Jolly Roger socks so I joked about trying not to be rebellious. I let the members know that my wife had left The Church. She has unmet spiritual needs. I told the members that mine were largely being met. I don’t…

My Testimony
I believe in God. I believe His primary characteristics are eternal love and limitless wisdom. I believe that a person’s first duty in life is to love and obey God. I believe each one of us, because of our finite and imperfect nature, must continually seek to know and do His will and draw closer…
