Today some new thoughts as I pondered the ever famous "go and do" scripture of 1 Nephi 3:7. Going is actually showing up. Can't have "an experience" if you never show up. Doing is participating. It's pretty hard to enjoy an experience when we don't participate. How many things have I missed because I didn't… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 405

As I spent a few minutes in my scriptures this morning, before an early meeting, I was reminded of a great principle... "... the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them." This principle has been… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 404

Two things stand out to me in my scripture study this morning. 1) Knowing God is what bring peace, but it takes work. Nephi felt peace, even in the middle of affliction because he knew God. It was more than knowing scriptures. He recognized the hand of God in his left. He knew he has… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 403

I am also grateful that I caught the mis-use of the 10' boards before I would need to buy a ton more. I am grateful for… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 398

I am thankful I got in a ride on the stationary bike 18 minutes... day 2! and "biked" 4 miles. Well, it's a start. I am glad worked on blogging and school related things. I am glad I didn't burn the house down when I forgot I was cooking eggs and got exploding eggs.

Today John helped me and we cleaned... I mean we really cleaned. We put away all of the Christmas crap. We move the furniture around in the family room. We shampooed the carpet. We cleaned the kitchen and the dining room and the living room. We even washed the windows. I am super thankful that… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of gratitude – Day 396
