Yesterday We were on the road. We got up early and drove over the river, through the woods, over the mountain pass to celebrate the life of my grandma. A couple of nice things, and great kindnesses occurred throughout the day. Aunts, uncles, cousin, and siblings were everywhere. Everyone helped out. Everyone chatted and laughed… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 248 and 249

#bethelight – Day 246 and 247
Gosh! Long days, with CET in my life. Yesterday's act of kindness was actually for me. It seems like I never have enough time to get things done during CET. Yesterday was one of those days. I had run out of time and still needed something for my work night. So I called my friend… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 246 and 247
#bethelight – Day 244 and 245
Wow... yesterday was a long day. I left the house at 7 am and didn't return until 11 pm. It was a frustrating day too. It seemed like every little thing I did, every place I attempted to be, I just missed by seconds or minutes. Each store took longer than I expected, even if… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 244 and 245
#bethelight – Day 243
Today was a good day doing missionary related service. Today was email day. I was able to "chat" with my missionary for a little while. Then, the sister missionaries in my ward needed somewhere to do their laundry. I told them to come to my house... and they did. Then, I was teaching a voice… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 243
#bethelight – Day 242
Today was a nice day of church service, family time and a little relaxation on my back porch. We also fed the sister missionaries. It is a bit of a "pay-it-forward" thing for me. I am hoping that some family in Missouri is doing all that they can to keep my Hannah fed and safe. … Continue reading #bethelight – Day 242
#bethelight – Day 241
Today I took my daughter and we went to support a local children's theatre production of The Jungle Book. I believe firmly that we must keep the arts alive in the heart of the youth. Supporting local theatre and the friends who are involved is super important. Good job Josh, Elisa, Nolan, Chloe, Broden, Haven,… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 241
#bethelight – Day 239- 240
Yesterday is a blur. I worked and worked and worked. It was an extra long day. But at the end of my long day my daughter really wanted to go to the store... so I took her. Sometimes it is important to sacrifice for the people you care about. Today will be another long day. … Continue reading #bethelight – Day 239- 240
#bethelight – Day 238
Okay... the kindness and the sacrifice sometimes pays off. I had a good morning helping my theatre kids participate in the parade. I bought the them lunch too. They did a great job. They even earned a first place ribbon for Best Youth entry, Best Effort and Grand Champion of the parade. Yup. Sometimes my… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 238
#bethelight – Day 237
Gosh... WHAT A DAY! A long day at work at CET. A dentist visit. And then, out of the kindness of my heart... putting together a float for the theatre kids to be in the parade tomorrow. Although, in hindsight, I'm not sure many of these kids care. Sure, they want audience to come support… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 237
#bethelight – Day 236
There are days we feel deflated and overwhelmed. Hurt, disappointment, bad news... it doesn't matter. Sometimes you just have a lousy day. On those days, when you are running on empty, there is always a glimmer of hope and something to be thankful for. Albert Schweitzer said, "Sometimes our light goes out, but is blown… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 236
