Searching for Truth
There have been many extraordinary attempts to create Zion that have ended in abject failure, some very recent. I would like to add my own to the list. Joy and I have invited a number of individuals who had a variety of needs into our home over the last year. Each was a unique experience. > > Read More …
Note: this is yet another one of those embarrassing posts about something that I should have more fully understood long ago. Again during breakfast, again during prayer, again while pondering our responsibility with respect to obedience to the law, and the meaning of its fulfillment, it came to me that the set of coursework established > > Read More …
In starting off today’s prayer, I reflected upon yesterday’s choice experience with Joy and thanked Heavenly Father for it, all the while knowing that Joy’s and my perspectives were and are fundamentally different.

This is probably related to illusory superiority, a type of confirmation bias (if you don’t know > > Read More …
There is much that I need to write. This will be somewhat random. I will not be making any attempt to topically organize, nor will I attempt to ensure that each topic is completely addressed. Later, I will organize the topics into WordPress pages to form a more congruent exposé (exposition).
Sometimes the question is a lie, or at least very misleading. There are at least two other choices besides “A, B, or None of the Above:” the choice not to choose, and A and B.
