Shelli did, indeed, help me fix the problem that I had with this blog site.  In fact, she even taught me a few new tricks that I can use from now on.  I can now type bold.  And I can use italics.  I can even underline.  
And I see that I can do all three at the same time. I feel a certain sense of satisfaction having just learned something.  I guess it is a little like life in general.  And in both life and my little blog there is so much to learn. I could spend my whole day just sitting around feeling overwhelmed if I wanted to. (But I don't want to do that.)

We had a very nice get together for our family home evening tonight.  Richard and Kathy did a really nice job, and Sheila and I have a nice shield for life to hang up in our room and be a source of inspiration for us about some truths that are important to us.  It fit right into my own plan for progress and will serve as a good reminder of goals that we have.

I really missed Nicholas being here.  We did talk a lot about him and want him to know that we missed him. It made me feel like it was already next year and he was away somewhere to college.  That and his mission loom in the near future and as much as we want those things for him we know we will be watching from afar with part of ourselves missing, because he will be so far away.

My Sunday as been good.  I did some serious studying and also did a little serious napping.  Both were refreshing in their own unique way.  Church was good as well.  I bore my testimony for the 3rd month in 2011. I worried to Sheila tonight that it is too much.  But I'm quick and I'm good (so says I) and it is something that I really feel is important for me.  Frankly, I don't understand why more folks, don't do it more often.  Especially those that would do it the proper way.  There are too many event tellers, and 'gushers' and
ramblers and 'lovers' and 'thankers'.  I may complain too much, but I believe that there certainly is room for improvement and I do try to be a positive example.  Anyway, I did it and I will probably do it again next month if it feels right to me.  I also hope to see Nicolas and others who were not here tonight next time.
