Crash money
Fully 2½ years after our van was sideswiped and well after I had concluded that we might never get paid we got a surprise Christmas gift in the mail from the 4th District Court—our settlement money that had been ordered as restitution early in 2020. That $7355 will ensure that even if we have unexpected…

Good things happening
We’ve been waiting for weeks for Savannah to hear back from Utah State University about whether the was accepted into the Music Therapy program. After her last interview she felt good and based on what they told her there I really felt like she was a great example of the kind of student they would…

Noah’s baptism
Something must be right in my life because I felt the Spirit as I gave Noah his blessing with his confirmation – much like I felt it so clearly when I conferred the Aaronic priesthood on Isaac and blessed him. It gave me such a renewed testimony of the priesthood and an affirmation that my…

Blessed day
Today was truly blessed. Last night I arranged for us to stay in a private condo (not shared) during the gap between houses. That was a blessing but today it was further perfected as the dates were changed to match our need perfectly. I no longer need to try deleting recording by signing late on…
