Introduction
What The Cedar Spire is all about.
I am the head of a large family: a father to beautiful children, a husband to an extraordinary wife, and a son to selfless parents. I live in Texas, the greatest country on Earth. If you’re at all interested in what I have to say, you should probably understand a little about the worldview that informs my writing.
I am an unapologetic Mormon, though not a member of the LDS church. I have an indefatigable mistrust of authority and an unrepentant commitment to freedom. I believe in the ancient and patriarchal order of the household, and that modern feminism and the damage it wreaks on relations between men and women is the most destructive force alive in our culture. As I see it, a large, faithful, upstanding family of descendants possessing sound moral character is the pinnacle of achievement in a man’s life. In my view, the American Revolution and the founding of the country was ordained by the hand of God, and was the last justified war fought by American soldiers. I believe that the corporate world is a vacuous, soulless place of apathy and misery. In fact, I believe its entire survival in its present form is predicated on laws that keep cheap money and regulatory favors flowing freely among the billionaires that rule over us. I believe that physical health is not just the cornerstone of a long life, but a core religious duty, and that your right to bear arms in defense of your family, yourself, your property and your freedom is given to you by God. Most importantly, I believe that the highest possible pursuit is to bring souls to a knowledge of the Father and the Son by being an example of the application of the principles of the gospel.
On a long enough timeline, I believe the war of ideas is always won by truth. I started this blog because I do not find anyone in the public sphere who truly represents the lens through which I view the world, though many represent at least a part of it very well. I believe that religion, politics, health and fitness, the social order and the economy are all connected in a fundamental way, and I hope that I can elucidate these links for anyone who might be sympathetic. I pray that I can inspire inquisitive minds to see the world and its events with a slightly more complete picture. And perhaps, most selfishly, there is some simple catharsis in having a medium through which to form, deliver and preserve my thoughts. I hope you find value in the content.
