Faith

I had a weekend on the random side. I wasnt looking forward to a particular lunch I had plannned with an old friend. We were to talk about religion, and I knew that it wasnt going to be a calm, open, friendly discussion. I should have just cancelled, but didnt.

It was the least unjoyable hour and a half that I have spent in a long, long time. I love my religion with all heart. There isnt anything that anyone can say that will deter me from it. I know that I dont have all the answers when it comes down to specifics. But I think that that has been the reason why I have never whined in my testimony. Im very simple in the idea that I do not have to know all the answers to know where and how I feel peace and happiness in my life.

In the end, lunch was good. Simply because it got me reading into topics and areas that I havent lately. It caused my testimony to grow more. So for that, Thanks Friend.

But I cant say that I will purposely seek out situations that I discuss religion with a Baptist again though!

Seriously

Is it seriously September?!

I cant believe it.

On the Road Again

My work travel has begun again. Im currently in Naperville, IL. Its going to be a crazy fall. Ill be all over this country, including cities like San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Minnesota, Milwaukee, DC, Phillie, Atlanta, Miami, . . .I could keep going. But then it again, it could all change tomorrow!

Today has been a day for me to realize my blessings. . . . Life is good. Although there are times that I have to deal with crazy situations or irrational people, I have a job and the oppurtunity to be productive each day. Im grateful.

Childrens Museum

Taylor loves the Children Museum in Boston. They rennovated it, but Taylor nor Jack have been able to come out to it yet. So this was the summer. The boys were old enough to have a real slumber party, and day at the museum.



It was a fabulous day, and it was worth all the driving! Ill be putting up pictures soon.

Cluff Midgley Wedding, and Utah

Last weekend I went to Utah for my little brothers wedding. It was fun to be back in Utah for a few days. It is a place that I will always love. For the memories that I have, and the people that I love that are there. Thanks to everyone I saw and got to spend sometime with, and sadness for those that I didnt. I didnt get pictures of everyone, but here are a few:

Red Eyes

One should not work after red eye flights. No good comes from it.

Big Black Cloud

Yesterday I escaped work for an hour, and found myself enjoying a beautiful afternoon in Boston. This city has truly stolen my heart. I was meeting up with a friend that had also escaped for a lovely afternoon. We were sitting on the steps of the Custom House, and walked through the hoards of people in Faneuil Hall, and then meandered back to respective employment factories. (Ha, I only say that as I work in a building that was once an old Saw Mill.)

As I was walking through the new park that traverses the city in lieu of the I-93, I was noticing that I was walking right towards a large gray cloud that was hanging out just above the Custom House. It never did rain, but once I was sitting at the Custom House for a few moments, it started to move towards work.

I found that very symbolic to the feelings Im having at the moment. Im not really sure what it is, but something is luming overhead. Hum, not exactly sure if I need to run for an umbrella for a downpour about to happen, or if I need to just wait it out, the winds will change, and everything will be fine.
