About 2 years ago, I started to write about the things that were important to me. I wasn’t cool, or popular (I’m still not.) I don’t know how to sing, or dance, or play an instrument. I’m not a celebrity or a billionaire. I lead a very normal life, a life that is perfect for…

For some reason, our society has determined that real men are supposed to be pigs. Men aspire to it. Women have come to accept it and many times expect it. People say that men just can’t help it. That it’s in their DNA to be that way…and that there’s really not much anyone can do about it….
On March 10th of 2014, I started a blog and began writing. But I had just one problem. I stink at writing! I didn’t figure anyone would ever read what I wrote. High school language arts was the only class in which I got a D. It was embarrassing. Although my grades improved in language arts,…
In my not too distant past… I found myself standing at an intersection with 4 different churches, one on each corner. I thought it would be fun and interesting to go in and talk to a couple of the priests and pastors of those churches about various aspects of their doctrine and beliefs. A couple of…
People say lots of things about Mormonism. Unfortunately few of them come close to accurately describing what it’s all about. Mormonism at it’s core is about helping people. Not just Mormons…but everyone, from any congregation. Recently, I was able to observe the people of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at their best. While it was…
On June 16th 1844 Joseph Smith gave what is known as the “Sermon in the Grove.” It was one of the last things we’d ever hear from the prophet and it got cut short on account of the rain. He was only eleven days away from his martyrdom at Carthage and he knew that his time was…
There was really only one thing that Jesus truly hated and that was hypocrisy. But not just any kind of hypocrisy. Jesus couldn’t stand religious hypocrisy. Empty acts of piety that were calculated to further one’s own political and monetary goals. “Ye hypocrites…” Jesus says to the “religious” politicians, “draweth nigh unto me with their…
Dear Planned Parenthood – I know this won’t really matter to you but if you were to by some chance open the Bible, you might find a verse in Isaiah that says this: “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter…
I used to hate cops when I was young. Hate is probably too strong a word. I probably didn’t really hate them…but I strongly disliked them. I used to think they were all just a bunch of guys with an inferiority complex that wanted to use their authority to exercise unrighteous dominion. I had my first…
Racism is crazy. I don’t know how any logical person could be racist. I was raised in Southern California. Everyone is a different color here. Lumping people together into groups and assuming they are bad because of the tint of their skin is just nuts and it’s tearing us apart. When I was about 10 years…
