I’ve had a lot of emails about my post on finances a few days ago. Since money is obviously an issue of interest for everyone, I thought I’d share one more tip. For the last few weeks, I’ve been a beta-tester for Mint. Mint allows you to
I’m so grateful to have a knowledge of the true nature of the Godhead. I am careful not to take it for granted. Put plainly, I am a literal son of my Heavenly Father. I love and worship him. Jesus Christ is my older brother and has a personal
The other day I was telling a friend that morning is my favorite time of day. I’ve always loved getting up early, but with Cole it is even more fun. Candace still gets up with Cole once or twice a night so she is quite tired in the morning.
A while back, my buddy and I decided to sell a website we had been working on for a couple years. At the time, the traffic was incredibly high and the ranking was in the top 80,000 sites on the internet. (That number may sound large but it’s
The other day I was playing with Cole and he started moving his face around real cute and funny. Being a long time allergy sufferer, it looked to me like he was trying to scratch an itch on his face. Poor little boy doesn’t know how to move his
A few weeks ago I mentioned it and today it happens. I’ll be having PRK surgery on both of my eyes. I’m really excited about no more contacts, though I have to admit that I’m a little nervous. It’s partially because of the surgery, but also
J.E. Littlewood was a professor at Cambridge University. He published work that used mathematics to minimize miracles. In short, Littlewood’s law teaches that “a miracle is defined as an exceptional event of special significance occurring at a frequency of one in a million; during the hours in which
One of the nice things about working from home is you can spend time on your personal projects while still working. This week I started scanning pages from the journal that I kept while serving as a Mormon missionary in San Francisco, CA. I’m only 200 pages into the
Yesterday, Candace and Cole brought me to the eye doctor so I could have my first appointment in preparation of eye surgery. I’ve been considering it for a while, but was hesitant. When Cole ended up not being as expensive as we thought, we had some money available and
I had a new iMac delivered today. It has a 24″ screen. Cole is only 22″ (not counting his hair). So now, I’ll be able to edit life size photos of Cole. Fun.
This morning I was reading The 95 Theses written by Martin Luther in 1517. As I read it, I was filled with such a strong feeling of God and his dealings with his children throughout time. For those who aren’t familiar with Martin Luther, he was a monk in
James E. Faust, Second Counselor in the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, passed away this morning. From the official church newsroom: President Faust, 87, had served in the First Presidency since 1995 and as a General Authority of the Church for 35 years. A
After Cole and I get to watch the sunrise each morning, he likes to get a little breakfast from mom and then spend the morning in his swing. I love watching him swing because he has the most observant and content look on his face. I assume it’s his
At the end of every month, I write what I call a “Thought Paper.” I pick out something that has been on my mind that month and get it out on paper. I’ve been doing it for years and it has been a wonderful thinking tool. As you would
A few days ago, my grandma wrote me an email asking me how she could find my sister’s “blog.” I’m always impressed at how my grandma has been learning new technology. (Though I did smile a bit because she couldn’t just say blog. It had to be
I spent some time today looking at a group on Flickr called “The Items We Carry.” For this group, you take a picture of everything that you carry in your pockets or purse and use on a daily basis. It was really quite interesting and curiosity-quenching. If I didn’t
