Last night, Mommy and Mikey were playing on the piano.  Mommy turned to a page in The Childrens Songbook.  She asked Mikey is he knew what song it was.  He said “I Am a Child of God”, which is correct. We asked him how he knew it.  “Did you read it” Mommy asked.  He said “Yes.  See there is an ‘o-f” there.  That says of.

I’ve been in contact with a Registered Instructor for the American Radio Relay League here in Vegas.  He has offered to come to the LDS Church near my house to teach free Ham Radio classes.  The classes will most likely be Wednesday or Thursday night at about 6:30 pm and will last for 6-weeks.  Anyone interested?

Mikey has thrown up several times over the last couple days.  Not something he normally does.  Well tonight, as he was about to go to bed, he was saying his prayers, which went something like this:

“Dear Heavenly Father, please bless that we can have a good night sleep and that we can get up in the morning, and that I won’t throw up.   In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.”

I thought it was very sweet and cute.

Does not one person need repentance more than another?  Ezra and Baruch protested to God that while Israel had sinned, the Gentiles had acted much worse, and asked why they should be let off so much more easily.  But God was not buying that argument.  You can always file somebody who is worse than you are to make you feel virtuous.  It’s a cheap shot; those awful terrorists, perverts, communists - they are the ones who need to repent!  Yes, indeed they do, and for them repentance will be a full-time job, exactly as it is for all the rest of us.

Mikey and Josh are just about over their colds, but we decided that we were going to keep them home from Church one more Sunday, just to make sure.  Trying to be a good Daddy & Husband, I told SWMBO that I would stay home with the boys and she could go to Church.  This morning, SWMBO announced that we should all stay home from Church (she was tired).  I waited about 2-minutes and then told her that if she was going to stay home, I’d go to Church and she could stay home with the boys.  She very quickly said she would go to Church.  So, the best way to motivate Wife to go to Church is to tell her she would have to stay home with the boys… interesting.

I got an e-mail from SWMBO today.  It was an excellent presentation about secret combinations.  I’d highly recommend it.

Download and read Secret Combinations and then tell me what you think.
