I know the Christmas season is past, but I wanted to share this anyway. I wrote this for the December edition of our ward newsletter. I think it’s a great message, regardless of the time of year. I love the Christmas season! People are generally more cheery, and friendlier and more caring towards their [...]

Another Christmas gone by, and I feel bit strange about it this year. We really didn’t have much in the bank for presents, and made the smart decision not to use the credit card this year. We got the kids 2 things each, which is less than we’ve ever done. Oddly, though, they were all [...]

Yesterday brought to mind the famous line from the movie “Gone With the Wind”, “I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.”There have been many, many Sundays where it is just the kids and me at church, without Adam. While this can be extremely aggravating, I do my best to go and do the [...]

Today is the 63rd anniversary of D-Day. On June 6, 1944, we were fighting against an evil enemy, bent on destroying everything we hold dear.
