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 fellow [...]

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 [...]

The time has come again for a new year. Usually the new year brings with it a host of “resolutions.” My belief, though, is that these resolutions, while being quite well-intentioned, are misguided. People make resolutions like “This year I will lose weight” or “This year I will be healthier” or “This year I will [...]
