The collapse of Building 7 is on my list of Conspiracy Theories & Weird Stories. I haven’t taken the time to write a separate post about it, but Tucker Carlson recently went there in an interview. I don’t know who is conducting the interview. This is just a short clip. If you’ve never seen the …
This is a secular video that covers many topics I’ve been contemplating over the past year or more. I say that to make clear I’m not just sharing a one-off video I happened across. I’ve watched a LOT of videos and read a lot of commentary on these topics. I haven’t come to any firm …
One of the core foundations of my homemaking is to create a pleasant atmosphere that serves our family. Our home’s atmosphere is now such a part of our family identity that I don’t even think about it much any longer. It just is. But that doesn’t mean we don’t fine-tune it from time to time. …
I mentioned a year or two ago that everyone should start thinking through the issue of Christian Nationalism because no one would be able to avoid it. I have a few more posts I will write about how this has been in the news, but to start with I can boil it down to two …

I’ve written about the idea of limits many times in posts such as Limits Are God’s Idea and Margin, Rhythm, and Decision Making. It’s difficult to have a cozy life of peace, understanding, joy, beauty, and faith if you are stretched beyond your limits over and over again. I’ve been wrestling all weekend with the …
I saw this idea somewhere online, but don’t remember where to give credit. The suggestion was that each month on the 25th to take care of some Christmas task. By doing something every month, you spread out some of the things on your plate. I really like this idea because I have some weeding out …
We long for beauty because God has placed that desire in us. We weren’t created to be visually assaulted by evil each day. And yet at this time in history we are surrounded daily by every manner of slovenliness, vulgarity, profanity and worse. Even when we do our best to avoid it, we rarely can …
The inside page of my copy of The Complete Tightwad Gazette says I purchased it in 1999. That sounds about right. That was around the time I had begun to read as much as I could about simple living. My copy is yellowed, dog-eared, and full of flagged pages. Yes, the numbers and financial calculations …
So many ideas. So many goals. So much honest forgetting to follow through when it isn’t right in my face. Maybe you have that problem, too? I’m a list maker and always have been. I can work through a to-do list with the best of them. But ***for some reason*** certain daily personal goals don’t …
I don’t know anything about this YouTuber, The Angry Prepper. His video popped up in my CensorTube feed and I decided to watch it. While I don’t agree with everything he says, I think he offers an excellent 40,000 foot look at what could be going on and coming. This is one of those videos …
This isn’t something I specifically did today, but about a week ago. However, it’s definitely related to what I’m doing with this series of cozy life adjustments. Caroline and I had agreed to be on the church nursery roster starting last year. I had seriously thought about not continuing, but then November and December happened …
