There is nothing like waking up after a great night of sleep. They say that we spend 1/3 of our lives seeking a good night's sleep. "I love sleep. My life has a tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?" - Ernest Hemingway I take great satisfaction in a good night's sleep. The… Continue reading Sleep like a Baby
This week seems like the beginning of many new experiences. It is a little unnerving to wait with no idea (ok a little idea) of what the future might bring. First new experience - Lillian got what I call "big girl hair." She got high lights and a trim. What did we get? A beautiful… Continue reading Many A New Day
Last week the amazing kids I associate with at the high school organized and ran an acting camp for kids in our community. A Senior, 17 teen year old, Matisyn Robischon took it upon herself to organize, manage, fund, and put into action Little Actor's Acting Camp. The camp ran for 5 day, 3 hours… Continue reading Little Actor’s Acting Camp
I have found through my life experience that most often the battles that get to most warriors are the battles that are fought from within. People are complicated. Being made in the image of God is complicated... yet simple. I read an old Cherokee story today. It goes something like this: One day an old… Continue reading Choose to Rise!
Under Pressure - Queen and David Bowie I must confess, I don't understand hatred. The examples of hatred that are saturating our society baffle me. Hatred run rampant in our politics, society, and religions. I can't escape! I see hatred on television shows, movies, computer screens, schools, streets and communities. I see hate's ignorance and… Continue reading Love Trumps Them All
Love this post by a fellow blogger. F.Y.I. I CHOOSE obedience. There are no HAVE tos in life. 🙂
So, tell me…
If someone is forced to do something good, did he actually do something Good?
If someone appears like he’s doing something good, did he actually do something Good?
If someone is doing something that someone else labeled (or deemed) “Good”, did he actually do something Good?
Time to Practice
My 6 year old is taking private viola lessons. Why? Because my wife has grand visions of a family symphony. That said, there’s always the challenge of practicing your instrument to be good at it, and that’s nothing new to our potential violist. For a 6 year old, though, practice time sometimes takes 2nd fiddle (pun intended) to playing with LEGOs.
Last night’s practice episode started out well when he did the easy stuff, but when it came to actually putting the bow onto the strings, something inside of him said, “I’m tired of doing this. I…

I have realized 2 things in the last couple of weeks... I am still adjusting my recipe size. I used to make dinner for 7 or more. Now I make dinner for 2 and sometimes, four. (My kids aren't ready to give up former foods, even if they are making some effort here and there).… Continue reading What’s on the Menu
Today, as I sat in church, a thought struck me. The little girl who was baring her testimony of Christ and how the Atonement of Jesus Christ allows us to have a “do over,” I thought, “Christ is my white out! Because of Him I can rewrite my story anytime.” I know. It’s a weird… Continue reading Scripture Sunday – The Great White Out
One of the lessons my parents taught me was to take pride in my work. Taking pride in your work means that you do your best… not only with attention to detail but working with a goal of mastering the task. It means being satisfied because we have done out best. The Bible says, “it… Continue reading Satisfaction Saturday- Satisfaction in a Job Well Done
July is a busy month around the Boyack house. There are a few moments where we try to "chill-ax"... ...like Sunday afternoons watching the grand kids play with the hose. Ben was pretending to shoot Lillian with a laser (the hose water). Freya was concerned with the results and rushed to Lillian's side to rescue… Continue reading Family Friday- The July Update
