Just a comforting thought to think of when you look at the next sunset. Continue reading

General Conference thoughts: Try, Try, Try
by President Henry B. Eyring
Enduring is such an ugly sounding word. The name evokes images of white knuckles, exhaustion, and thoroughly being spent. Just thinking of it makes me feel tired and worn out. Continue reading
Not-quite-Fit Bit
Let me start off by saying (again) all I want to do is walk. Well, walk and get credit, so to speak, for walking. In other words, I just want to measure my distance per walk and see how far I’ve gone and set goals about how far I want to go. That’s all. In order to do this, I need a device to measure my distance. Seems simple enough, or so I thought. But nothing is really that simple, right?
Two Graves
There are two graves
that sit on a hill
overlooking the land
as if a silent sentinel. Continue reading
Vision vs Ability
I have always been a bit of a dreamer. Too much dream and not enough do. It probably has something to do with my skill at doing. It never turns out quite as well as what I see in my mind. Continue reading
General Conference thoughts: The Correct Name of the Church

The Humbug Post
I started this little blog seven years ago this month. For seven years I’ve posted little blurbs and thoughts and highly suspected my posts were overlooked. I just haven’t found a passion or interest to focus on so my writing is random and broad. But I keep toiling at it just in case something kicks in and I need to be prepared with this blog already in place. The point is I post four times a week and barely make my daily 10 view goal. In fact, I have had to round out the views on occasion to make 10. Not proud of it but it is a fact of life. So when I do post something that gets a little attention I’m surprised. That is what happened during the 2018 Christmas season. Continue reading
Quid Pro Quo
There is a danger
to living quid pro quo.
You will eventually
reap only what you sow. Continue reading
Thanks for the inspiration
This is something I have been trying to do. It’s not easy because, to be honest, I feel a little silly thanking someone for their edification. So, I’m not sure how long this will last. But for now, I am experimenting with it. Continue reading
General Conference thoughts: Wounded
by Elder Neil L. Andersen
“This is going to hurt a little bit,” is what we could have been told before we left our pre-mortal home to come to earth. Pain is part of growth it will happen. Continue reading
