Defending the restored church of Christ - I created this blog back in 2013 to provide an alternative to what I saw at the time as a lot of bad "Mormon blogs" that were floating around. Also, it was my goal to collect and share a plethora of positive and useful information about what I steadfastly believe to be Christ's restored church. It has been incredibly enjoyable and I hope you find the information worthwhile.

I'm still here!

Sorry to all my faithful readers, I'm still here!

2025 was just a bizarre year, I was so busy I couldn't believe it and blogging took a back seat for sure. I'm hoping 2026 will calm down.

I know I am just a drop in the bucket when it comes to blogger world, actually I'm not even a drop, I am more like a molecule. But still, it has brought me a lot of joy over the years.

It was kind of odd the other day though, how you think of people that maybe you haven't seen in awhile and all of a sudden they show up, or you think of something that you had forgotten about and suddenly you see it again.

The other day just out of the blue I started to think about the Templars, you know I am a sucker for anything Templar. I haven't thought about the Templars for awhile, or haven't read anything about them, etc. Then I was scrolling through Instagram while having lunch, don't we all do that?, and all of a sudden an advertisement comes up for an awesome Templar hoodie. 

I usually get annoyed with advertisements while I am trying to enjoy my time-wasting scrolling, but this hoodie took me back to the good ol' days when the Templars were front and center for me.

I won't link the hoodie, but it is made by a company called Saint Kaizen. You can Google them or search them on Facebook, they are there. I've never bought anything from these Facebook ads, you never really know the quality, etc. Plus the hoodie is a hundred bucks, my wife isn't going to let me spend that much on a hoodie. 

It sure looks cool though. 

Anyway, a guy can dream. Lol. 

Lets' have a great and calm 2026, hopefully if so it will let me post more.
