    I woke up at 6:35 to a knock on my door. When nobody answered my response I got up to investigate and find Enoch at the bedroom door. As soon as I opened it he said, “Dad, let me tell you how to kill a snake.” I guess I know what he was dreaming about…

    We had a nice end of summer fling for the family today. We borrowed the kayaks from Andy and Marsha and went to Jordanelle with the Jacobsons. In the future we will confine ourselves to Rockport since we can park right on the beach and save ourselves the trouble of hauling all the equipment from…

    Despite his insecurities, feeling young and slow of speech, Enoch spoke out to the world to share the gospel. He did in defence of his people when the armies who fight against Zion came to war and he did so with such power that they fared his city even though it was filled with the…

    Enoch saw the course of mankind much as Nephi and John and others. I hasn’t realized that the Lord actually dwelt among the people in the city of Enoch.

    Adam lived another 308 years after which was born meaning that Enoch was 243 years into his ministry before Adam died. For almost his entire life the first man on earth was still available for anyone who knew where to look for him. In fact, all of his ancestors were alive for virtually his entire…

    Back in the days of Adam people were living for centuries. It wasn’t uncommon to have a parent more than a century older than yourself who still lived half a millennium after you were born. No wonder Enoch could feel young at nearly twice my current age. I wonder if they needed so many centuries…

    We lived with Heavenly Father before we were born. He wanted us to become more like Him so He made a plan for us where we would be able to grow more like Him. He made the earth for us to live on. He sent us to live in families so that we would have…

    You may wonder what language that title is written in. Before I say, I have to say that I am probably close to a year late in recording this. The language is “2-year-old boy.” That (or variations such as “Tee Qu”) is how Enoch used to say “thank you” when he was beginning to talk.…

    What a day. I managed to be late to my meetings by almost 10 minutes. We recovered from that and I filled out the form for Enoch’s blessing. When I arrived home the house was packed. We had a nice lunch but when we went to the church apparently my instructions got Steve and Andy…

    It looks like Enoch might already be getting his schedule turned around to a daytime schedule. Last night he slept almost all night. I was able to sleep until midnight when he woke up. He went back to sleep at 1AM and slept until 4:15. I slept from 1 to 3. He was back to…
