I am grateful for that. Today I am grateful for soup. It just felt like a soup day.… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 69

I missed yesterday.... so much going on. Lilli's condition is not getting better. The jerking and twitching is much more severe. At times she can't talk or breathe well.

Busting into 2019
Okay... I am not doing a good job of reporting how things have been going in 2019 thus far. I should repent of that. I will do my best to catch up and then stay on top of it from now on. Well... I will at least try. John was gone for the beginning of… Continue reading Busting into 2019

Beginning... that is key. Today I am grateful for the Sabbath and the chance to renew covenants and commitments with the Savior. I am grateful that my first Gospel Doctrine seemed to go okay.
