It was Easter Sunday and the afternoon session of conference. I needed to get across town to my brother’s house because we were going to have Easter dinner immediately following the session so that the out of town travelers could get home. But I heard that President Nelson would be giving a short talk so I hung around for a few minutes to hear what was going to be announced. Continue reading
I’m not sure if anyone else would be interested in this. Perhaps, I am putting this post out there merely as a way to say, “This is what I do. If you do something similar to this then you’re more normal than you think.” Or something along that line. Or maybe it’s just to prove I am alone in this. Continue reading
So much for the great outdoors.
The sun is too hot

I am a dreamer. Always have been. The other day as I thought of my to-do list and my bucket list I realized they will always remain on my list unless I actually do them. And if I continue to wait for an available moment, they will always remain dreams. Continue reading
Two new apostles were called to fill in the vacancies of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles during the Saturday afternoon session. Each one was permitted to share a brief testimony during Sunday afternoon’s session.

I used to pray, and to be honest I sometimes still slip into this mode, to let so-and-so “be safe.” What does that even mean?

Characters in movies and books are mocked for making lists and many a hero’s journey involves getting rid of her (it’s usually a her) to-do list. Once the character learns to live life without the heinous list she (again, usually a female) really learns to live.
