The Happenings

Well, it's been a little while. Things have been busy. Moving in with the parents, doctors appointments, work! Wow. Well, Brinley is talking more and learning more, which is good and bad. Liz won first place in region for SkillsUSA and is going to state. She is such a wonderful person, I don't deserve to have such a wonderful, caring wife. I'm looking for a second job so that we can pay off some debt and start saving a little more. I just got a calling to be a Sunday School teacher, again. I'm excited for May 13th, it's our fourth anniversary and we will get to go do Justin's temple work. It's hard to believe it's been almost a year, but I guess time flies when you're trying not to pay attention. We've decided on the name Wyatt Jaymes for our little boy who will be born in July. I know that's a really summarized version of what's going on, but my back hurts and I can't sit still for very long. But, I promise next time, for those of you who pay attention, there will be more.

The long and short of it.

By
I'll try to make this one short so you don't have to get bored of reading my rants.  I've been thinking lately about the world and about things people say.  One of the subjects that gives me great concern but also great amusement is all the hatred the LDS church gets.  It's sad to see some people be so vehemently opposed to an organization that does so much good, yet comical to hear people's reasons.  I've yet to hear one good reason for someone leaving the church.  Sure there are people who have issues with Bishops, Stake Presidents, someone said or did something and made you mad.  But those are people.  Nobody has been able to tell me how the church has hurt them. "Well, they tore my family apart!"  Did the LDS church really tear your family apart or was it the individual choices you were all making?  "Well, I just don't agree with the doctrine."  What don't you agree with?  That Jesus is the Son of God and Savior of the world? ...

Don't wait too long to remember

     Hello all.  I want to apologize in the beginning because this is going to be a long post.  If you're up for it and actually get to the end, hopefully there's something in here to help you or someone you care about if they're having a hard time.      This time of year is kind of a difficult one at times.  It's also a very busy time for us.  Before I get to the reasons behind the challenges, let me give you some background:      So for the first 25 years of my life there was someone that I had the privilege of knowing.  Even though that might seem like a long time, I really was only close with this person for maybe the first 12 years of that 25.  We were best friends.  We would play in the sandbox together, with LEGOs, sports, and whatever other things were around.  Even if they weren't play things we'd play with them.      I remember playing outside and pretending to be this or tha...

Combining science and religion? Why not...

By
     I just wanted to jot down a few thoughts I've been having.  With all the cool things happening with medicine, Mars, space, and other scientific breakthroughs there's one thing that always amuses me:  people assume that science and religion can't exist together.      As a member of the LDS church I have been taught and believe that we are not the only living things in the universe.  Scientifically speaking it can't be possible, either.  With the billions of stars and planets, especially all those in the "hospitable zone", there is no chance we are the only life.  It's ridiculous to think that.      Another issue I have is that people think things are random.  Why couldn't a being that is supreme use science to create or put things together?  Why can't God use science?  The laws of the universe are His laws.  He is a God of science.  He doesn't do magic, he uses the principles of chemistr...
