I know nothing. The longer that I am a dad the more I realize just how true this is. Sure, I’ll have seasons where I think I’ve got everything figured out… until I don’t. My son hits a new stage and suddenly the rules of the game change. My life has worked out that way too. I’m not where I thought I’d be and yet I’m exactly where God wants me. Along the way, I’ve learned that God is more interested in our smaller, everyday decisions versus the bigger picture items (which He is concerned about too, don’t get me wrong).
Time has changed this blog from a gaming ministry idea into a place where I can be myself. JohnnyBGamer is a place I go to process faith, fatherhood, gaming, and sometimes even politics–You can thank my History/Political Science degree for that–.
Welcome to a place where I share my life; Welcome to JohnnyBGamer.

I’ve Had Trouble Getting Into The Wheel of Time… Until Now
Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time series is a book series I have never been able to get into. The wheel turns and I will pick of the first book, read a few chapters, and then I manage to read something else. The first book, the first dabbling into Jordan’s world, feels too much likeContinue reading “I’ve Had Trouble Getting Into The Wheel of Time… Until Now”
Why Don’t We Talk About Testosterone?
I’m unsure if I have talked about being on testosterone replacement therapy here before. But every week, I inject myself with testosterone. The results of my injections have been amazing. I feel like myself again. In October of last year, I went to my first doctors appointment to see if testosterone replacement therapy was rightContinue reading “Why Don’t We Talk About Testosterone?”
Gus and the Tornado
Gus, our dog, was in his crate for the night. He was totally happy to be in the house, out of the dark (he hates the darkness), and in a place where he could chew on his bone in peace. Until he started barking and whining like crazy! I went down the stairs, into theContinue reading “Gus and the Tornado”
Vengeance of Slowness
The other night I was tired, just run down, so I put on True Grit (1969) with John Wayne. Now I have seen the Jeff Bridges version (it was okay), but I had always heard that John Wayne’s version was superior. So I figured, why not. For those who do not know, True Grit isContinue reading “Vengeance of Slowness”
Kingdom Two Crowns: Norse Lands (Trailer)
Kingdom Two Crowns rocked my world. I found the melding of the game’s imagery and music to be mesmerizing. Kingdom is one of those games where I would suddenly look up and two hours have passed by. A game hasn’t done that to me since the original Roller Coaster Tycoon. But I have a secret…Continue reading “Kingdom Two Crowns: Norse Lands (Trailer)”
A Drive to GameStop
Last night, Wyatt and I took a drive to GameStop (which we used to do all the time before the pandemic). I got to learn the latest from his adventures with Apex Legends. Specifically: How Wyatt loves using the character Seer. How he might use his Apex Coins to buy Ash. Or maybe he willContinue reading “A Drive to GameStop”
1 John 1:9 (NIV)
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
