I received a book recently that I was invited to review and I enjoyed it so much that I thought I’d post about it. The book is called Learn to Study the Bible and it is filled with 40 different methods to approach the study of scripture. While this book is written to a general Christian audience, anyone who is […]
Tom & I had a surprise night in downtown Denver last night. My brother, Andrew, had a free night at the Westin Hotel and very kindly gave it to us (he thought he had to pay us back or something for watching his kids last weekend!). It was so fun to have a random get-away. To avoid parking, we rode […]
I read this on facebook this past week: ” [facebook user] believes that no one should die because they cannot afford health care, and no one should go broke because they get sick. If you agree, please post this as your status for the rest of the day” I keep thinking about this philosophy – and I finally decided, why […]
Last Sunday Spencer made his first appearance in church playing the cello. Jen Cottle, who is currently in charge of music for her ward (congregation), asked Spencer if he would prepare a hymn to play. He really didn’t want to do it, but Tom and I ganged up on him.

If you are looking for books to read, my reviews for August are up. Take a peek.

Spencer didn’t assume that just because it was his birthday he didn’t have to go to school or seminary – of course, he was probably hoping for lots of attention from the girls and didn’t want […]

[…]
If you ever clicked on the “LDS Activity Days” tab, you might notice that it has disappeared. That’s because I decided to give that information it’s own page (on the suggestion of my sister-in-law, Sarah – thanks!). You can find all my Activity Days info at Go and Do! Tell your friends! Spread the news! Call me a geek!
I’ve been trying to post more regularly in the hopes that the few readers out there will keep checking back – but what to say when nothing has really been happening?? Tom has solved that issue by blogging only about current events and things that he finds absurd. Suffice it to say, I’m not as clever. Things I have enjoyed […]
In case you look at them, I’ve finally updated my book review pages for 2009. I’ve done a lot of re-reading of favorite authors the past six months, so if you are looking for some good authors to read, some of mine are on these lists. Also, added another picture album.
