I don't understand why I've been reluctant to write today.  I should have done it first thing this morning when I got into the office.  I was actually here earlier then normal because Sheila woke me up at 6:33 instead of me laying in bed until after she leaves.  I did get a paper this morning (yesterday I was missed somehow.) And so I was able to check up on Cortney's game from last night.  When I read about it the words out of my mouth (actually one word):  'wow!!"  Quote:  "Cortney (finally got her name right) Porter had a very solid outing for Bonneville as she scored 26 points including six treys and added seven rebounds and seven assists."  [59- 41] They are now 15 and    0!  It was her highest scoring total ever (high school) and I value it more then a d-d.  She is first just a great person who happens to be quite an athlete.    

To continue, after a lengthy discussion with  my wife, I say that I have been obsessed lately with perfection.  The lesson that I am preparing for Sunday got me started and my heavy pondering has given me some serious thoughts that are resting rather uneasily on me. In fact, I am really quite unsettled about my ideas on the subject.  It is as if I am doing some graduate lab work on the subject and trying to grasp the subject that I once was comfortable with, but now seems to be challenging me to a much deeper understanding and a much better practice of principles related to the subject.  All of that being said it seems to really be a good thing, a positive step, greater light and knowledge and simply a more mature knowledge of something good.  Seems to be verifying that I am quite serious about this learning and growing and stretching and becoming.  I wonder if it will be something that can be noticed from the outside.  That's where 'yall' will have to be the ones who can answer that.

  1. The thought that you were lazy never came to my mind. You don't have to worry about that. EVER. I am glad that we were able to come together and work together. A trait taught to us by you. Perfection is a hard thing in this life. We want so badly to do the things asked of us by our Heavenly Father, but our natural man makes it impossible to do so. That is why we have to rely on the Savior. And that is the true test of life and the only way in which we can be "perfect". We can perfectly rely on Him.
