Recent Changes

So if you read Nancy’s blog at all, you already know that a big change is a coming. We are moving. Where? Well we hope to find home in Utah but we aren’t certain yet where in Utah. Couple of minor steps here to overcome: My sister MJ has recently come to live with us. [...]

Scripture Marking

So most of my readers (of course it doesn’t include those reading on Google Buzz) are LDS so I am curious, how do you mark your scriptures? Now obviously, you don’t have to be LDS to mark your scriptures but it seems to be a regular occurrence of our Church. I have a marking scheme, [...]

Rod of Iron

I recently challenged myself to read more of those things that I know I should be reading, and to stay away from those temptations that I find so easily distracting and allow me to let myself get upset or angry. Recently I restarted (as I have so many times) The Book of Mormon. So here [...]

If You Haven’t Noticed…

I read Mormon Times an awful lot. I enjoy most of their blogs and articles. I can read their articles while explaining a concept to a customer for the fourth or fifth time. They are fairly quick and yet, they give me a positive lift and a quick smile. Today’s Orson Scott Card article, “Everyone [...]

Spreading the Gospel One Game at a Time

So Sunday in Gospel Principles (Nancy is more secure there, and I kind of know the teacher (he is one of my home teaching families)), we talked about missionary work. Of course I talked about my blog as I have had a few friends who asked questions based on things on my blog or just [...]

Family Prayer

This morning, in my email, I received a quote (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints sends out a daily email called Family Gems which I enjoy reading. If you would like to subscribe, here is a link to all of the Church’s Email Subscriptions). This morning’s quote from James E. Faust: “Family prayer [...]

Can You Say Wonderful?

So I have written a couple of drafts that I wanted to post but just hadn’t. Then I wanted to do some work for a friend on a site they wanted to look at. So I changed some settings on a password here or there, and then kept about my business. I went to post [...]

Good to See Culture Grow

Last night, as I was working in the library at the Church, we were watching  and Into the Woods and someone heard a particular song coming out of the library. “Hey, is that Agony from Into the Woods?” “Yup, sure is.” “I played trumpet for that in High School.” “Small world.” The guy ended up [...]

Friday Fill In #68

Another Friday and I am slowly recovering from our decisive victory at softball last night. We won the game by simply showing up. WOOT! 13 players. My family was there which just makes it all that much better!  Who says begging doesn’t work? Starting the hype now for the tourney. 1. The last time I [...]

Oww… Why Do I Do This Stuff?

Recently a friend of mine showed up at a softball game to help our team out. He had stated that he usually played basketball instead of softball. So tonight I went to his church pickup game to play. Besides I can use the exercise and the workout. Yeah, I feel closer to 40 then I [...]
