Bishop Payne invited me to bishopric meeting this morning to present some ideas I had about starting a website to post emergency preparedness related items and also talk about possibly using the chapel to host Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University. They approved the website so I can get started on that. They are still hesitant about doing FPU, which I don’t blame them because it does cost money and seems a bit out of place in our...

Today was a productive (but long) day. Last night Gehrig and Gracie slept on the floor in Gracie’s room in their sleeping bags. Nolan would not go to sleep. He kept screaming. Finally Rachel laid down with him in Gehrig’s bed. We ended up putting him in Gehrig’s bed because he would screen every time we put him in his crib.

I have to say that I get tired of watching Disney cartoons all the time. But tonight, I couldn’t help thinking as we were all cuddled together on the couch. I’d rather endure another cartoon than watch something I find entertaining all...
