Last week we heard two great talks at church – so great, in fact, that Chris and I were both determined to make changes in our family scripture study and prayer. We do these two things but noticed they were becoming more habit than intentional. So, we decided rather than having Chris or I read [...]

I was ‘tagged’ back in November by Shelly and even though I’m a little slow at getting on this, I am a faithful friend. So, here it goes . . . 7 Random facts about myself: 1. I usually forget to clean my glasses. The spots on them drive Chris crazy but they don’t bother [...]

I’m one to admit that being in a branch is hard work. There aren’t enough people to fill callings and you can end up with at least 2 callings or assignments so that things run smoothly.
