Thoughts I Thunk while Thinking

Every day, I think an average of 12 thoughts, thought out into full-on ideas, scripts, scenes, accounts, or plans. I think them through so thoroughly in order to keep them in my mind.

Happy #NoWasteNovember Everyone!

I’ll bet you thought I forgot about #NoWasteNovember. Or you thought I forgot about my blog. Or you thought I became famous and never told anyone so I could escape the flood of sudden besties and idolators who apparently always liked me even though, c’mon, impossible what are you saying I don’t believe you get outta here.

Shows like The Chosen seem to add a lot of stuff to the Gospel accounts. Some would say that God told us what we needed to know and didn’t tell us what wasn’t important. So these shows are adding stuff that doesn’t need to be known or that is extra fluff. Take a guy named Bob. He volunteered with and donated to lots of youth programs.
