Today my act of kindness was to help my friend grade... I read and read and read today. The goal is to make grade day at the end of the week go smoother. It isn't much, but I hope it helps.

#bethelight – Day 89
Today was not my usual Sunday. Today I worked. An organization REALLY wanted their event on a Sunday. Today, as my act of kindness, I gave up my usual Sunday activities in order to allow their event to happen on my stage. I know many would not agree with my choice. Please know, I did… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 89
#bethelight – Day 88
Today I worked hard. I have decided that doing your best and working hard at your job is actually an act of kindness. So often complacency supplants hard work. All too often, entitlement creeps in and the feeling that we "deserve" something eclipses the efforts necessary to earn our real goals. Perhaps it's because we… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 88
And Our Missionary is Off
It's been a couple of weeks since I reported on the family comings and goings. We have been busy! We closed The Bully Plays. It was a class project. It was super fun for me have Lilli in this class. You can read more about how this production went here. Lili has been in… Continue reading And Our Missionary is Off
#bethelight – Day 87
This morning I was drinking a glass of water and I started thinking about how lucky we are to have clean water - even filtered water - right in the comfort of our homes. I thought about when I was a kid and water came to my house in a truck and my parents would… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 87
#bethelight – Day 86
Today for my act of kindness I went to Kimber's house and washed her dishes after I had a full day of school, an orthodontic appointment for Lilli, rehearsal, and a small little job of getting some lights for an assembly tomorrow. I'm ready for bed.
A Warrior Sees the Positive Side of Life

#bethelight – Day 85
We are down to 3 people living in our house. Looking around, we have far too many things for only 5 people. Today I decided to #bethelight, do a favor for people in need and give away things we no longer need and no longer wear. So far I have filled 2 trash bags of… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 85
#bethelight – Day 84
Today I took my daughter to the airport. She is going to serve a mission in Arkansas for the next 18 months. This one is hard. The one kid left at home is super sad... cried and cried. We can email her and snail mail her but we can't call her. We will get to… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 84
In Honor of Grandma
For Family Friday this week I choose to remember my grandma, Clara Lee White. She died on Friday, a couple weeks shy of her 92 birthday. She was the youngest child of Joseph Sharp Packer and Jesse Anderson. She didn't talk about her childhood much. There are a few stories out there that would lead… Continue reading In Honor of Grandma
