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 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

All the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today. - Indian Proverb I've been studying scriptures throughout the day... taking a break from me usual week activities. This thought struck me today. Listening is one of the greatest gifts we can give anyone. We all want o to be heard. Today… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 235
#bethelight – Day 233 and 234
Yesterday I took Lilli, John, Lilli's friend and Jeff to the Portland area to see Mama Mia. It was good to get out and do some socializing. Today I donated 90 minutes of my time to someone think about renting the stage some time next year. Although she clearly didn't understand why policies are as… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 233 and 234
#bethelight – Day 232
Every once in awhile I think it's important to surprise your kids with something nice. We were on our way to CET and I suddenly pulled into Dutch Brothers. Lilli loves to get a "freeze" at Dutch Brothers. There was a huge grin for that surprise. Also, I work for a program where I am… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 232
#bethelight – Day 230 & 231
CET is off and running. I am working on acts of kindness right and left. A couple of things I have done to extend light to others this week... I shopped for supplies at a local lumber store. It's cool to support someone local just out to make it and serve the community. I started… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 230 & 231
