The reason for the second ammendment that people so dearly love is to stop domestic terrorism such as we are bearing witness to today. Things must change, and violence begets vilolence. May the truth bring justice.

The past few days, I have come to stat calling myself a post-Christian follower of the Jesus way. It's a lot to unpack.

I'm in a grumpy mood. The majority of the presents (not the big ones) for the kids and my wife and me were stolen day before Christmas eve. Now I have to pay between 160 and 200 for my meds. And I've had to work on the holiday, with my work changing how holiday pay works for the worse. UGGGGGGGGGH!

Apparently, my insurance stopped paying for my psych meds? This makes each one $ 20-40 with a coupon. I haven't gotten to the real expensive one et, so I'm nervouw. And taking five meds for my head, this really adds up. I am so frustrated. We don't have the money for this.
