This has been a very busy time for me! I rarely have free time to get anything done. When I do have any, it is consumed with reading the scriptures. I don't own a television, nor do I want one.

I've started a small study group to read the scriptures Monday Wednesday and Friday mornings. It has very poor attendance. For people who profess to be good Mormons you would think they would be more enthusiastic about this. Oh well, they are students as well and must have so much going on they can't take thirty minutes out of their mornings to come. It's okay I set the example and eventually they'll come.

I wouldn't stress too much about the trash talkers in your ward. I get people who talk about me in this branch. Just have to let it go and not feed into the damage that causes. Only will backfire on them in the end.

I'm going full-time at work this coming week so my schedule will be even more crammed. Idle hands are the devil's workshop but it would be nice to have fun once in a while. I guess what I need to learn is how to have fun w hi le doing all this work! I need the money and I need the edifying so it is necessary for me to do all this. I guess I've had my fun, now it's time to do work.

This week I get ordained a priest. Very exciting! Next I will get to bless the sacrament. It will be an honor and a privilege to be able to.

    This has been a very busy time for me! I rarely have free time to get anything done. When I do have any, it is consumed with reading the scriptures. I don't own a television, nor do I want one. V- BUSY, BUSY BUSY! GOOD FOR YOU. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE SAYING: idleness is the devil's workshop. I WAS SCHOOLING AT BYU AND PAINTING FOR A CONTRACTOR IN SLC ON SATURDAYS AND SUMMERS. A HIGH COUNSELOR ASKED ME TO WORK AS A STAKE TEMPLE REPRESENTATIVE. I TOLD HIM HOW BUSY I WAS AND HE RESPONDED: THAT IS GOOD. BUSY PEOPLE GET THINGS DONE! INTERESTING HUH!

    NO MATER HOW BUSY WE THINK WE ARE SOME THINGS COME FIRST. GUESS WHAT I AM THINKING OF?

    I AM SURE YOU DID NOT CONSIDER THIS RESPONSE: REST. LIVE IS WASTED IF WE CAN'T REST AND FEEL GOOD ALONG THE WAY. THERE ARE DIFFERENT WAYS TO REST. I HAVE A FEELING THAT YOU FIND FACEBOOKING RESTFUL AND REWARDING. IF SO, GOOD FOR YOU!

I guess what I need to learn is how to have fun w hi le doing all this work! I need the money and I need the edifying so it is necessary for me to do all this. I guess I've had my fun, now it's time to do work. IT IS SO TRUE THAT THERE ARE DIFFERENT PHASES IN LIFE. MY SON DRIVES FOR 4 HOURS A DAY TO WORK AND BACK. ARGH! LAS VEGAS. BUT HE WANTS TO RAISE HIS FAMILY HERE. HE IS SACRIFICING SOMETHING GOOD FOR SOMETHING BETTER. IT WONT LAST FOREVER.

    This week I get ordained a priest. Very exciting! Next I will get to bless the sacrament. It will be an honor and a privilege to be able to. THAT IS SO REWARDING! THE LORD IS BLESSING YOU TO BE ONE OF HIS REPRESENTATIVES ALREADY! GOOD JOB!

A Day

Sunday, 1/28/18 Hey Nate, here comes my first letter of the year. This is scary. I so want to get along with you and not offend. Can we make a deal right up front? When we are offended we will make note, and then when we feel safe we will share. That is my proposal. There are all degrees of being put off, feeling put down, feeling misunderstood, feeling ignored, feeling hurt and offended. Since I am an old science teacher I like to measure everything. I love to measure! 2 nd part of the proposal would be to rate the offense on a scale of 1-10. Little offenses would be a 1 and devastating offenses would be a 10! Gayelinn leaves me a voicemail or two each month. She left me 19 minutes the day after Mistelle's bday. She was worried she was going to die so she wrote her will. I haven't written a will yet, have you? I just listened to her vmail today. I usually leave her 10, 20 or 30 minutes a day. She says she loves them. So we have become quite close. She has such a plea...

Hey Vern, I didn't watch the Superbowl and If you look on my fb timeline you will see why. It is rigged. A way to keep the masses complacent and in the dark while evil continues to rule the world. The Simpsons are "illuminati" or ran by the organized elite of the upper echelons of Satan's servants. The score was predicted exactly years ago along with 9/11, Trump and his assassination. He is the fall guy for the new world order. The excuse for why America should be dissolved and accept the prophesied one world government. It will happen soon. Yesterday was fast and testimony meeting but it was the first time I could worthily take the Sacrament . Next week I can prepare it! I was the first one up there. But I fast every Sunday. I figure if I can get more blessings why not? It is hard tho and won't put on weight as quickly as I would like but I get blessed. Last week I fasted for a friend to get back in the church. Two days later i texted her and she went! Amazing....

that thy performance may be for the welfare of thy soul

Hey Nate, Today was the day! How did it go? Someone read the blessing on the bread so calmly and understandably today that I felt blessed just hearing it. I purposefully did not look up to see who did such a great job. But I felt closer to God because of that blessing offered in my behalf. It is hard to stay worthy of blessing the sacrament. The good news: just repent first! I always prided myself on being a know-it-all in the church. It is easy to know more than everyone else when your family teaches the gospel. They did! Too bad my parents didn't live it. That messed all of us up. At BYU after my mission i got to be roomies with my best friend, next door neighbor, David Jentzsch. He taught me something his father taught him that surprised me. I guess I didn't know everything after all. 9  But behold, I say unto you that ye must  pray  always, and not faint; that ye must not perform any thing unto the Lord save in the first place ye shall  pray  unt...
