I have tried to keep busy today.  I felt real good about my personal early morning devotional because I was taught something new to me.  I wrote down the four words:  conversation, connection, communication and communion.  That was a revelation to me and I know that it doesn't look like much, but give me some time and I hope to develop the ideas into something special. 

Our day ended on a good note when the home teachers came just after 7 tonight.  Dave Haymond and his wife Lisa came and we visited for just over 2 hours.  We almost always have a good gospel discussion and it is quite uplifting.  I guess that there is nothing that I enjoy talking about more then the gospel, and Dave and Lisa are real good listeners and talkers. We feel free to talk about our personal and family concerns and they understand us and our family better then anyone else.  (except for family they are the only ones that we talk that way with)
But talking that way for that long is a very exhausting thing.  I usually watch some TV or do a little work in the office.  But not tonight.  I relaxed 'down' for a few minutes and then I got to this so I can finish and go to bed.  I have my work cut out for me tomorrow so I will need new energy.  I am even too tired to think about how I will orchestrate tomorrow.  I'll leave that for morning too.  I figure that I will think a lot about family tonight and in my early morning devotional..  I said that we talked about the gospel tonight, but after all isn't family and the gospel pretty much the same thing?  So my thoughts are stirred up on that duel subject. 

I am really looking forward to Sunday night and the family being here.  I already feel badly over those who won't be here and I don't even know who that is ( or isn't).  I would love it if everyone would come, but I do realize the reality of things and I will take what we get.  Please, if you can make it, do come and be with us this Sunday night.
