My sons recently watched Ocean’s Eleven for the first time. They loved it. And now, like their father, it’s their favorite movie. The movie just speaks to you when you’re born and raised in Las Vegas. It awakens the Vegas Pride. The other day, I was telling

I will always remember the first time I read “The Millionaire Next Door.” It was life changing. The written description of savers and spenders would bring people to my mind that I knew and in some cases admired. The book helped me determine what path I would take toward self
When it comes to journal writing, one might determine, “I don’t have anything to write about. My life is boring.” You might be right. Writing in your journal could be a real help though. I’ve often said that too many “boring” entries in a row might inspire you

With an elevation of 12,000ft, La Paz is known as the city in the clouds. I have always been interested in Bolivia since my dad served a church mission there in the late 1970s. Recently I visited the breath-taking Bolivia. Here is a short photo tour: My son Cole
In my attempt to write more this year I thought that I should tackle the most important things first: Know the difference between a macaroon and a macaron. Most people aren’t aware there is a difference. The auto-correct on phones won’t help either — often adding that additional “o”

Since 2020 is made for pain, I decided to make some big moves that I have been putting off for a while. The email migration took a while, but the new setup is so much better. My reliance on Google as a company is very minimal now. I am very
One of the most inspired principles in the restoration of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the idea of presidencies. One man or woman is called to lead. It is up to them to make the difficult decision and move the work forward. It is their right

Since there was so much time in the home office this year, I took the opportunity to scan my mission journal, separate it into days, add it to my current digital journal, and type out the pages so they would be searchable. With 820 pages of written journal, it was

Here are 21 things that I am thankful for in my life: I am thankful for little birds that sit on our back patio and give us all something to smile about. I am thankful for adults who know how to help kids feel safe and appreciated. It’s a
Why have they lost their way so much? They want to take all the money from the most important things and give it to their own projects. The changes they make are going to hurt the economy and make us less safe. I can’t even call them leaders. They
I enjoy early morning rounds of golf. The world is still quiet. The course is still calm. The rising sun makes for some beautiful photos. I snap a photo each morning to include in my journal for the day. Sometimes it will be my only good shot of the day.

Many of my friends and family will be returning to worship in church buildings soon. The first step back will be a shortened sacrament meeting with limited attendance. There will also be cautions in place around gathering, the passing of the sacrament, etc. Some actions will feel a little different
