Preparing for a pandemic

I just saw that WHO raised the pandemic threat level to a 5 out of 6. I’m personally still not that worried (nervous and worried are two different things) even with that, but that is no reason to not be prepared.
A friend recently told me about something I had missed on the Church’s Provident Living [...]

Katherine and the Dentist

Dentists.
Doesn’t the word just send shivers up your spine? I’ve always had miserable luck with dentists. Through out my childhood, I was always the one with braces and headgear and who knows what else. I hated it. I still hate the taste and feel of certain metals in my mouth dating all the back to [...]

A wonderful prayer

Katherine loves to pray, and I’m glad. I think prayer is one of those essential spices in a hectic life that will temper the storm and add savory goodness to the calm times.
Currently, Katherine says all the prayers over meals and says prayers during our family scripture study. She also prays at night. The majority [...]

Claiming Ownership on the Savior

One of my favorite scriptural accounts is 3 Nephi 11 where we read of the visit of Jesus Christ to the American Continent.
I was thinking briefly on this experience today, and I think I comprehended a few things for the first time. First, and unrelated to the title of this post, is that while it [...]

National Teach Children to Save Day

Not only is it Secretary’s Day (I am soooo tired of political correctness) and Earth Day, it’s also National Teach Children to Save Day.

Susan Boyle Part II

Check out this latest link from another song Susan Boyle did, apparently, for a charity CD back in the late 90s. She’s got quite a voice and she shows a remarkable emotion and skill in this song.
I really hope she puts out a CD…. I’d buy it.

A video? Say it ain’t so…. Susan Boyle

I once promised myself that I would never include pictures or videos on my blog because I wanted it to be about writing. However, the Susan Boyle video is such an inspiring sight. If you haven’t seen it yet, it is a real treat, and it will make you smile.
To get around my no video, [...]

Financial Essentials–Crisis Finances

In financial security, there are things that are absolutely essential and things that are not. If you are moving into crisis finances, meaning that you are consistently short at the end of each month, you need to re-prioritize your finances so that you are covering the absolute essentials first. Dave Ramsey refers to these essentials [...]

Movie Review: Quantum of Solace

I’ll admit right off the bat that I have a love/hate relationship with most Bond films. I really like a few of them, don’t care for others, and most of it comes down to the fact of whether or not the film is remotely believable. The first Daniel Craig James Bond film scored high in [...]
