Sunday Sermon: The Mormons Came Calling, And I INVITED THEM IN!!!

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

To those of us that are not Mormon, we see them as a mystery, and a lot of us see them as a nuisance. Yet when the Mormons came calling to my home, I let them in to my home three times! But before I tell you about that, please allow me to define what I mean by my new ‘Sunday Sermon’ feature here at Howefitz Blog.

I’m calling this feature ‘Sunday Sermon’, but it’s anything but a sermon. To me, a sermon implies someone will stand at a pulpit and relay his or her interpretation of a religious document as if their interpretation were the complete truth. Furthermore, they would expect you to buy  in to their interpretation and take it on as your own.

It Takes A Smallville To Raise A Superman

Friday, October 9th, 2009

fatherfridayThis post is brought to you courtesy of Dad-Blogs‘ FatherHood Friday. The theme this week is ‘TV Dads’. Click on the image to the left to read other great daddy and mommy bloggers talk about their favorite TV dads. Some of the bloggers may have gone rogue and written about something else that was on their minds. Friggin’ rebels…

My favorite TV dad has been ‘dead’ for three seasons. ‘Dead’ in quotes because: a) The actor that portrayed him his very much alive, and b) It’s a show based on a comic book, and who stays dead in a comic book?

How to Lose An Audience’s Attention In Roughly Ten Minutes, Regain It, And Come Out With Very Few Casualties

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

The air smelled of stale pages and small children. The teenagers jostling in to the room reminded me of the wildebeasts that make short work of Mufasa, leaving Simba fatherless. I shed a tear for my daughter Calli and my unborn son. They will never know what it is like to have a father. My oldest, Kat, had betrayed them. She had led me to this pack of wolves, this den of geeky jockularity. I stood before them, notes quivering in my hand.

I was going to teach comic books to teenagers.

Kirby help me.
