    One of the greatest steps forward for me online recently was getting to where I could tag posts to have the boosted out to a much wider audience on Mastodon through a pro-Kamala Harris group. They only want pro-Harris content but since that’s what I’m focused on right now that works. My hope is that…

    For all the various things I have been making a point of doing consistently it becomes necessary to do things which will meet more than one goal at a time. Today I didn’t have nearly enough steps for the day but instead of going for a walk I went out with Noah and Ezra to…

    Today we were supposed to play dodgeball at the amphitheater at Aspen Grove. When we got there we found that the place was drowning in hikers and that the amphitheater had been reserved by another group for a private function. In past years that has never been a problem but we’ve also gone in the…

    With a holiday off from work on this Pioneer Day I had one thing I wanted to accomplish (besides helping put up and take down flags while the young men were on their camp) and that was to move my website to my virtual private server on a new host. There are still cosmetic things…

    Quiet time is sacred time—time that will facilitate personal revelation and instill peace. Discipline yourself to have time alone and with your loved ones. Open your heart to God in prayer. Take time to immerse yourself in the scriptures and worship in the temple. This is another tidbit from President Nelson’s priesthood session talk in…

    Between now and the time the Lord comes again, we all need our homes to be places of serenity and security. I read this in President Nelson’s priesthood session talk from April 2021 and it resonated with me because that is exactly what I am trying to transform my home into right now.

    For all the campaigns about preferring archery to axe and knife throwing everyone had fun with the axe and knife throwing this morning. For the most part everyone helped with cleaning up and Old Pinery was a decided success with everyone wanting to come back and stay even longer. Now the boys need to turn…

    We finally made it to Old Pinery. We had six of us come as Laura and Bex decided to join while Alex (not very surprisingly) decided to stay home. We’ve had a very nice time so far although the kids weren’t all that impressed with the challenge course. The missionaries here let us use the…

    Laura had continued to make bits of progress on looking for a job. I found a copy of a resume Laura did for an audition a few years ago but then Laura found a copy of her work resume from someone when we still lived in Bountiful. We have a lot of work to do…

    I’m finding that Laura and I are still not doing regular couple study again. We still study, just inconsistently but at least I have begun studying talks in the evening the last couple of days again. (That’s why I’m late going to bed tonight.) On the other hand, Laura is still talking proactively about getting…
