Germs, obesity, and foot-in-mouth disease
From my friend’s facebook wall — you might need to click to read the whole thing: I had to laugh. The NPR article about bacteria was interesting, too. You can check it out here.

Not a legend but the name was fun. This is just the random stuff I've thought about and want to remember. If you find it useful, hurray! If not, you'll know me better anyway.

AKA “the blog” – this is a hodge-podge mixup of everything else I feel like posting.
BOM Project: Mosiah 2
So, I’m thinking that trying to summarize each section like I do with my kids as we read, is kind of much, particularly since it’s fairly easy for anyone to see what’s going on in this chapter. There are lots of ways you can draw out a comparison to our semi-annual general conference, where we […]

BOM Project: Mosiah 1
I’m really tired tonight. Ethan had a birthday and a bad chest cold yesterday, poor pumpkin. Got him fixed up as best I could with Sambucol, homemade soup, smoothies, and a Muppets Marathon. But just as I got him feeling better and settled to sleep, Mary woke up sick. Then after a few hours of […]
MoreBOM Project: 2 Nephi: 7
So, sometimes I don’t even read chapters sequentially. Tonight I needed this. I was looking up something else for the kids at FHE and ran across this one instead. It’s Nephi’s copy of one of his favorite chapters from Isaiah (because those scriptures were valuable to him, too). Anyway I don’t want to go into […]
MoreBOM Project: Omni
So I was going to dive right in to Mosiah, but since we’re talking about King Benjamin here, we might as well jump in where he’s truly introduced: in Omni. Omni is a strange book, again just one chapter. (I remember it being a pretty cool magazine, too.) Omni straight up admits he has not […]
MoreRandom breakfast conversations…
Sorry for the blogerrhea. We had a rather random conversation over breakfast (read: normal conversation at my house). I like where we ended up and I think it speaks well my point on keeping matters of faith out of school (not a popular topic among Christians like me.) The kids and I were enjoying breakfast […]
MoreBOM project: Words of Mormon
Day one. As I mentioned in the previous post, my kids and I have made a habit of reading scriptures non-sequentially. Think of it this way: you’re reading your Bible and get stuck in Numbers every time (we have). Same thing seems to happen to a lot of LDS people with 2nd Nephi and the […]
More… and I’m a Mormon
I say that as though I’ve been in the closet about it. I haven’t been. I just haven’t said much about it, either, but I’ve decided that’s going to change. Does this mean I’m going to shun you if you don’t agree with me? Not at all. Does it mean I’m going to force anything […]

Asking God to change my heart is far more effective than asking Him to change someone else’s. – realization of the day
