Chess

Dear Readers,

I have been outwitted. The other night, I was texting one of my friends while watching a movie, sitting on the couch right by my front room window which, many of you know, has a huge view of the entire street. Now, I wanted to hang out with the friend mentioned above but she said she was having a 'special' night with one of our other friends. Next thing I know, there's a package of bologna, three pieces of cheese and a multiplication chart on my front porch. I had no idea what was going on becuase never before has there been someone who could even come close to our porch without being noticed.

Not wanting to be outdone, I figured out who left these items on my porch and made quick preparations to leave something on her doorstep in response. As I was drving towards her house, I noticed a car that looked like hers but thought, "No, they can't still be out and about" and didn't give it another thought. As I parked down her street to finish up the note for her, a car drove by and I saw that it was this person and her friends. In a desperate attempt to retain what dignity I had left, I quickly followed them to her house and left my response on her doorstep as they were going through the garage.

All in all, I'm just glad that I have been asked to the Valentines Dance next month and I look forward to it. :)

I've Been Watching You

Dear Reader, Our little boy has not even arrived yet and I am already feeling the pressure to a good example. All growing up, I was always told to never do anything that I wouldn't want my children to know about/do themselves. "Always be on your best behavior, your children will watch you." I will be honest, I have always agreed with that idea and I think it is a good way to live your life. However, I didn't feel the weight of that responsibility until my wife got pregnant. I feel like I am getting more and more pressure from myself to be a perfect example, even though this little boy hasn't even met me yet. That's why I am relating so much with this song right now. I know, this isn't too deep. I just wanted to share the song more than anything.

Book of Mormon Stories

Dear Reader, Today I simply want to share a story that has strengthened my testimony of the Book of Mormon over the years. Professor Felix Mynhardt was fluent in many languages, including English, Afrikaans, Hebrew and Egyptian, as well as many others. He was employed as a language professor when he had been praying that the Lord would give him some divinely important task that would justify his having this gift of language from God. In 1970 he visited with a group of Mormon leaders, who sought to commission him to translate the Book of Mormon from English into Afrikaans. He said that he knew of the Book of Mormon from his religions studies, and his initial reaction was that he did not want to be involved in translating it. However, that evening, as he prayed upon his knees, as was his habit, he said the Spirit of the Lord convinced him. The message was something on the order of, "You asked me for a great, divinely inspired task of translation, I sent it to you in the form o...

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breath, shine like gold...

Dear Readers, Ok, so I can't fit the entire title into the title box. It's a good song, go look it up: "You make me smile." The title can apply to anyone, I've found. The rest of the lyrics would probably refer to a best friend or a significant other, but anyone can make you smile. They all have the own way of doing it. Some are just funny all the time and you can't help smiling when you're around that person. I know some who take care of people so well that you just smile when they're doing something for another. Others you can talk to about your problems and no matter what they say, it seems to make sense and you feel better...thus a smile. Ok, a smile doesn't always come in that case, but people usually smile after that. Anyone can have a blonde moment and make everyone smile because of it. I'm glad I've got friends who can do all of these: have blonde moments, take care of others or have an episode of hyperactivity that you can't he...
