Lots of Weeks in this Month
It’s been a long month of long weeks. If it hasn’t been one thing it’s been another. I wanted to indulge. We ordered Papa John’s for everyone and I ate a whole medium pizza. I started my fast after finishing a bottled water. Now I have to wait to take my reflux pills until I…

Forgot to Fast
Today is another Fast and Testimony Sunday. I didn’t realize this until after arriving at church (having previously eaten breakfast). At least I made it to church. The testimonies were pretty standard today. Everyone loves Jesus and “Knows The Church is true” better than I do. I’m full of a lot of beautiful little spiritual…

I Fast and Pray
Today is Fast and Testimony Sunday. However I did not go to the Sunday meetings. As a matter of fact I haven’t gone to Sacrament at all this year. Sunday is supposedly a day of rest, but I have NEVER found church the least bit restful. I have trouble sitting through lectures. I enjoy socializing…

Texas Roadhouse Butter
When I arrived at work there was a pan of Texas Roadhouse rolls and two bowls of Texas Roadhouse Butter in the breakroom. As I arrived a little early I had some. I worked a few hours in pharmacy and on my five minute break I had some more. I finished out my shift and…

Fast and Testimony Sunday
I got up and bore my testimony today in church. I was wearing my Jolly Roger socks so I joked about trying not to be rebellious. I let the members know that my wife had left The Church. She has unmet spiritual needs. I told the members that mine were largely being met. I don’t…

Son-day
My oldest son came back to town for an indefinite stay. He’s been having a rough time, so he moved back in with his mom. I suggested that he could be my ride to church this morning. It’s Fast and Testimony Sunday which are always a little more interesting than the usual sacrament meetings. So…
