Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
Friday just about put me in my grave. Got up late — still not sleeping well after hitting that cat with my car — but I got DD to school early so I could take DS to the dentist. Things went well there, so I took DS back to school and picked up DD to take her to get her passport. Well, some miscommunication occurred, and after getting her pix…

I’m also babysitting for a last minute addition to the craziness of this week tomorrow. I only got about 5 or 6 things ironed today because Lynlee came over and got me to worrying about this thing Sunday. Plus my VTer…

My brother made me set up a Facebook account a couple of years ago. None of my friends were on it (back then it was mostly college students), and so I did nothing with it.

I got back to the gym today for the first time in ages. I bet it’s been 2 months. Things have been crazy in the mornings here, and I was excited to get things straightened out so that I could go again.

So now you know. Satan deceives. That was an actual license plate on a car I was behind the other day. There are really a lot of gospel messages on plates around here. I can’t decide if I like it or am creeped out by it. The ward temple trip was Friday. We had a really great turnout. Our goal is always 50, and this time we had 48. 26…

Stake Conference was today. I am trying to find Christ-like things to say about it, but it’s pretty difficult, actually. Two of the talks were very good, 5 were okay, and two were downright bad. I did laugh out loud when the Mission President’s wife said she thought the next YW value should be guilt! Ha! I could just imagine that section in the personal progress book. 200 pages in…
