    Things have been so busy around here that I have not really had time to look forward at all. In the back of my brain I have known that this was the weekend of General Conference, but this afternoon that realization came to me as if I had not known and I recognized a real…

    After a long weekend with no internet access I was not at all surprised at the long list of emails that I had to deal with. It was a very good weekend to be disconnected since I had plenty to do as we moved into our new house. After a good three day weekend we…

    The last few weeks I have consistently not written on Saturdays. Of course I have been generally less consistent, but Saturdays would seem like the time when I would have the most opportunity to make time to write. This week I have ample time to write, but I find that there is apparently another barrier…

    I would think by now that I would be smart enough to predict that it would be hard to keep up with blogging when I am simultaneously starting a new job and moving from Utah County to Davis County. Despite how predictable this challenge should have been in foresight, I have been disappointed that I…

    These last couple of days have been overwhelming. I can hardly keep up with everything I need to do – which is why I failed to post. I’m still trying to catch up so this is mostly a chance for me prove that I have not disappeared. It is also a chance for me to…

    In an effort to get back into the writing habit after a very tumultuous few days – here’s something rather light. I stumbled onto this video and it took me back to my time in Missouri where I first started seeing billboards from the Foundation for a Better Life. As the smiles and memories came…

    I can just see Laura recommending Ten ways to find time for your family at Parent Hacks as daily reading for me until I can perfect it in my life. I think that numbers 2, 5, and 10 would be especially useful for me – not just for my family, but for everything I do.

    After completing an 81 hour work week this week, the concept of having a day of rest takes on new significance for me. In fact, I think it might be time for a couple of 30 hour work weeks so I can get to know my family again. 😉

    January was a very nice month for me as I was able to write every single day. Plenty of things have been happening in politics as the presidential primaries have twisted and turned on the path to next Tuesday. I’ve also had final opportunities to comment on the Mountain View Corridor and the opening of…

    After some of my coworkers asked my opinion on the Fair Tax proposal I was planning to write about that today, but it was not meant to be. (Maybe tomorrow.) Instead I wanted to share an exciting experience from tonight. I conducted two boards of review for boys seeking their life scout rank. As board…
