Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

  • Along the way

    Last night, I woke from a deep sleep having a huge epiphany. I realized the Lord has been directing me to things that I know exist, and yet, as I move toward those things, the treasures along the way are the places where I am finding God most. I recently moved to Salt Lake City.…

    The Leap

    How a conversation, and guidance from the spirit opened the door of possibility.

    techtonic shifts

    Sometimes gifts are given in boxes that act like bombs. They blow up in your face before you know what happened. Despite our best efforts to clean up the mess, we can never get the smell or smoke back in the box nor will we ever be the same again. A friend gave me one…

  • The Rest of the Lord

    The Rest of the Lord

    there is nothing that compares to the rest available on Sunday. I try and relax and rest on other days of the week, but it doesn’t compare with the deep rest, cellular rest even. I feel all the cells in my body are changed, for a 24 hour period. For me it actually begins the…

  • Pray – It works.

    Pray – It works.

    Last week as I was struggling to learn and apply the basics of simple home electrical (reading from a book and getting a few pointer from dear ol dad) I had wired myself into a load of frustration. I had a simple objective which was to wire a GFI outlet, which happened to be at…

    learning: aka, superpowers don’t fail me now

    this week my eyes opened to see things (myself) different and new. While on the phone with a dear friend and teacher this week, she shared some humorous insights about my character of which we both laughed about. When I got of the phone, even though humorous at the time of her description, I was…

  • Rebirth

    It takes a while. Infact, everthing takes longer than you think it does. Every day I go to work on building my house, I have an idea of what I would like to accomplish. When I first started out, I thought I could have this house built enough with plumbing and electricity and insulation that…

  • The power of influence

    Today is Sunday, July 26th of 2020. Nothing special really about today, unless you consider the circumstances that brought me to this point. Two months ago, in deep depression yet with a spark of hope, I drove out of Beaverton Oregon, my residence of 4.5 years, with all my earthly belongings in the back of…

  • I have proof

    Hear him Yesterday many friends reached out to me with well wishes on my birthday. Before this, I woke up thinking about having a bowl or Raisin Bran cereal and wishing I could see my friends Amber and Matt. I was missing them and wanted to make contact. I cannot remember a birthday quite like…

    Quarantine, not so bad after all

    So I have now been home for two weeks. In self quarantine and now everyone is in “stay and shelter” ordinance. The president has just announced we will continue this through April 30th. We will not be getting back to normal life anytime soon. I am learning to teach my students remotely and via the…

Got any book recommendations?
