Sometimes I have heard the comment when discussing scripture that God “lost his patience.” In this way of thinking, enough was enough for God. The Lord of Lords and King of Kings had come to the end of His straw. His patience was lost. There are countless examples we can look to where a perceivedContinue reading “Does God get Impatient?”

The God Question: Intelligent Design, Evolution, and God
This is a version of an essay I wrote for a science and religion course. That’s why it has such an “official” tone, and the headlines. I don’t share this because I think it’s an extraordinary essay. But I do think I made some decent points about the “God issue” in science. When you spendContinue reading “The God Question: Intelligent Design, Evolution, and God”
Float
If you’re a parent and ever get frustrated with your kids (every parent), especially if they are younger kids, you need to check out the Disney short called “Float.” It’s only 6 minutes long and can be watched on Disney+ or HERE. I have to remind myself often that Ivy is constantly experimenting. Everything sheContinue reading “Float”
Maybe (The Story of the Chinese Farmer)
“There once was a farmer whose horse ran away. Upon hearing the news, his neighbors came to visit. ‘Such bad fortune,’ they said, full of sympathy. “‘Maybe,’ the farmer replied. “The next morning the horse returned, bringing with it three other wild horses. ‘What great fortune!’ The neighbors exclaimed. “‘Maybe,’ replied the old man. “TheContinue reading “Maybe (The Story of the Chinese Farmer)”
The Life Beyond
The Life Beyond by Robert L. Millett and Joseph Fielding McConkie Copyright 1986. I recently was asked by two friends who have different religious beliefs from me, what do you believe happens to a person when they die? This is the great question right? One of the 3 great questions. Where did I come from?Continue reading “The Life Beyond”
Love Thy Neighbor: The Time I was Threatened with Lawsuit.
I posted War or Cheesecake Factory two weeks ago about an experience where tone made all the difference. I’d like to share two more examples when tone benefited me with my neighbors. When my below neighbor got angry with me about a supposed leak that flooded her unit it wasn’t the first time I’d beenContinue reading “Love Thy Neighbor: The Time I was Threatened with Lawsuit.”
Devastation of Ignorance
Recently I was trying to do something I had no idea how to do. Let’s call it HTML coding. The point I need to stress here is I was starting at point 0. I’d done little to no coding and didn’t understand HTML, and still don’t. It’s not my job to know HTML so itContinue reading “Devastation of Ignorance”
Godhead – My Understanding
Two posts ago I discussed the doctrine of the Trinity and my opposition to it. This will be a much gentler post, detailing how I personally come to the belief and understanding of the Godhead as true doctrine. First, an explanation I didn’t give last time. Definitions: Trinity or Trinitarian belief: God is one God,Continue reading “Godhead – My Understanding”
Prodigal Son
The story of the Prodigal Son is well known. For those who have not read it before or haven’t read it recently it can be found in Luke 15:11-32. The story of the Prodigal Son has always hit close to home for me. Obviously, it’s easy for me to relate to the younger son. YouContinue reading “Prodigal Son”
Organized Religion
What do you think the point of organized religion is? I had an obvious realization recently, only recently. The point of organized religion is to bring you closer to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. If organized religion doesn’t bring you closer to God, then why do it? I think it’s why we see so manyContinue reading “Organized Religion”
