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?

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
President Russell M. Nelson
I remember years ago when we were reminded of this counsel. The correct name is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints not the Mormon Church. I went to work and wouldn’t you know, the subject of worship came up. I timidly used the full name and my coworker said, “Oh, so you’re a Mormon?” Continue reading
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

There is a danger

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
Friday ramblings: Passion
I like to watch Nature on PBS. There are so many dedicated people who have a passion for doing good and helping the world out. In one program I watched different people help out orphaned animals. Not the typical, cutesy animals that usually get all the attention either. A sloth, a bat, and a kangaroo were all saved because three different people in three different locations worked to save these animals. Continue reading
If you see Helen (Audie Murphy tribute)
I recently read Audie Murphy’s autobiography, “To Hell and Back.” He became one of the most decorated (according to some accounts the most decorated) World War II soldier. This major feat was accomplished before he even left his teens. This man saw a lot of death and suffered from PTSD before there was an acronym to describe it. One of the accounts he described is meeting a nurse named Helen. He later found out the area she served in was bombed heavily and a lot of nurses died. Though he tried, he never found out if she was one of the fatalities. They never met again. I recommend reading this increasingly forgotten book. Continue reading
