Preached at Calvary Lutheran in Carson City and Peace Lutheran in Alma this morning. The latter is the church I've been attending while on CRM status.
A Beckett Breath: Let the Gentiles Praise the Lord! (Psalm 117) “Praise the LORD, all you Gentiles! Laud Him, all you peoples!” (v. 1). The shortest psalm in the Psalter—only two verses. Yet its scope is limitless. It issues a catholic (universal) call to worship: not just…
*tells my wife she's pretty* She blushes. Still got it.
Like a surgeon with a steady hand, God sometimes wounds in order to heal. #Lutheran #LCMS #suffering thelutherancolumn.com/2025/07/26/job…
A Beckett Breath: The Lord Has Heard My Voice (Psalm 116) “I love the LORD, because He has heard my voice and my supplications” (v. 1). Psalm 116 is a personal testimony—tender, humble, and full of gratitude. The psalmist begins with a simple declaration instead of the public…
Went to the ER at 3am to get some pain relief for my sciatica flare-up, and learned I lost 25 pounds! (This is a good thing.)
I was an expert marksman in the Army—the highest qualification you can get.

Hey @grok, who was the most famous person to visit my profile? It doesn't need to be a mutual, don't tag them, just say who it was.

A Beckett Breath: Not Unto Us, But to God Be the Glory (Psalm 115) “Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but to Your name give glory, because of Your mercy, because of Your truth” (v. 1). Psalm 115 opens with a confession that silences pride. Any blessing, triumph, and deliverance…
"For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?" ~Matthew 16:25-26
The worst thing about becoming rich (500M+) is that there’s nothing to buy. You invest to increase your money, but that’s not buying things. 20 cars, 10 houses, yacht, jet, 15 diamond watches. Done. Then you’re left with PILES OF MONEY and nothing at all to buy besides steak.
One of the positives about receiving a late diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) as an adult is that it can be very validating—your entire life begins to make more sense, and you learn how to allow yourself to BE yourself. Just one of the things I've learned about myself…
A Beckett Breath: Tremble at God’s Presence (Psalm 114) “When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language, Judah became His sanctuary, and Israel His dominion” (vv. 1-2). Psalm 114 recounts the exodus event with lyrical wonder. Israel’s…
One of the difficulties of being an autistic adult is that some of us have alexithymia, meaning we have difficulty describing, identifying, and expressing emotions. Below are some ways in which it manifests in me. And as you read, don't misread it as me complaining. I'm just…
