I have been feeling a little overwhelmed lately, with work and school and my newborn son and all of the responsibilities that I have.

I am writing a research blog for my … Continue reading Finding Balance in a Digital World

My apparent lack of blogging
If you've been following this blog, you may have noticed that I haven't written as much lately as I have in the past. This is both true and not true. I am still writing regularly (even more so than I have in a long time) just not always on this blog. I am currently taking … Continue reading My apparent lack of blogging
Mormon Monday: Walking on Water
25And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. 26And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. 27But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. … Continue reading Mormon Monday: Walking on Water
Why I love used bookstores
I am a big fan of used book stores. I absolutely love them. There is something about that lovely slightly musty smell that old books have that is really enticing to me. I find it's a great way to get the books that I want without having to pay ridiculous prices at those high-end bookstores. … Continue reading Why I love used bookstores
Mormon Monday: Blessing Children
Yesterday I had the unparalleled experience of blessing my son. I have long thought about the blessing of children that we do in our wards.

When the Doctor finds himself in a situation that seem impossible, when there it seems like there is no way out, the … Continue reading “Because I’m clever!” An analysis of the Doctor
Mormon Monday: The Test
In my English literature class this week we are reading a transcript of a discussion by a group of smart scholar-types about the Book of Genesis, specifically Chapter 22 where Abraham is asked to sacrifice his son Isaac. There are some very intelligent people talking together about what this story means, and though are Jewish … Continue reading Mormon Monday: The Test

I am really enjoying work at my new job, at the BYU Service Desk, it is very similar to working for the Global Service Desk for the Church. We use many … Continue reading It’s been a long, busy week
Goodbye Christmas
Today we started packing up our Christmas tree. It's kinda sad, seeing all the pretty Christmas things be put away. Really, I think that's most of the reason why we love the Christmas season so much, the decorations and the music and everything helps remind us and get in the spirit of the season. It … Continue reading Goodbye Christmas
