He was describing how when we are so stressed out in life that we have a rest in our Savior and God and that not only is it a slight offer [...]

About running - Leave a comment
As the spring arrives, I have been thinking about running in various ways. I have used it as a thing to worry about – as spring comes every year, the boys would get more boisterous about escaping the house and running off (or in Chris’s case, usually walking very fast). As far as I’ve heard, [...]
Syllabi and phones — Leave a comment

DSC00670 Originally uploaded by criscollrj Wow, June 18th already. AND one month, one day on Weigh Down/Thin Within. I WILL DO THIS. And we’re almost done with Colleen’s summer school and about to start Chris’s. I’ll be transporting in the morning and Gayle in the afternoon, bless her. The only time we won’t be transporting [...]
