Go For A Walk?
I used to like long walks. So much so that I would occasionally take them in the night in the rain. Part of that was out of necessity. I have never had a driver’s license. I know I’d get someone killed. The sidewalks are safer when I’m on them without a car. But over the…

Listening to Hymns
One of my daily habits is to listen to at least two hymns. Today I listened to “Have I done any good in the world today?”, “If you could hie to Kolob”, and “Come, come ye Saints.” The beginning of the last verse of the last song goes, “And if we die before our journey’s…

Exhaustion
I slept most of the day and I’m still tired. My bedtime isn’t for hours, but I think I’m going to have to get more sleep. Maybe I can dream that I am weird and awesome, since going to bed early is neither. Have a great night and a radically, phenomenally, and fundamentally amazing week.

A Persuasive Spirit
“For verily, verily I say unto you, he that hath the spirit of contention is not of me, but is of the devil, who is the father of contention, and he stirreth up the hearts of men to contend with anger, one with another.”3 Nephi 11:29 Book of Mormon ‘”No power or influence can or ought to be maintained by…
