Sleeping Wrong
I slept in and Stephanie ended up in the ER tonight. I try not to feel guilty but this one hits hard.

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…

Burden of Proof
I saw it again today. An atheist saying that the burden of proof is on someone else. That doesn’t work for me. It is not someone else’s job to prove me wrong. If I have even a sliver of a fraction of a doubt that I might be wrong about God, it is my job…

Sacrifices or Transactions?
What sacrifices have you made in life? I don’t have many regrets about the choices I’ve made in life. Any opportunity has a cost of all the other things that I cannot do.

Lilac Bush
Today is a beautiful day here in South Central Wisconsin. The sun is shining. The birds are chirping. And our lilac bush is in full bloom. It looks pink to me. Everyone assures me that lilac is a shade of purple. I often ask the question “How does it feel to be wrong?” The world…

Strange Fantasies

Being Wrong
What’s a topic or issue about which you’ve changed your mind? I have a shirt from my sister that reads, “I’d agree with you but then we would both be wrong.” I don’t like being wrong and have significant discomfort from admitting that I’m wrong. I had an ongoing conversation with my wife. She has…

Meatloaf (not really)
Epic Cooking Fail In my early twenties I lived in a house with six other guys. We rarely had anything that could be considered a meal. We were broke and hungry most of the time. I splurged and got a pound of hamburger. I wanted to do something special with it. I remembered or more…

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…
