So Abundantly Blessed! VW Bug Info for Jakob!

Everyday holds so much, how shall I ever keep it all recorded? This morning, there are several things I need to jot down to record! First - Jakob has a cute blue VW bug car. He turned 16 in November and found this old bug. I don't know what year it is like 1971. It has had one problem after another, but last night in the very dark, after consecutive nights of working on it with Brad they got it running again! The secret was the valve adjustment of .012! Remember that - the internet is wrong! Only the VW lover at the NAPA auto parts store told him that and... he was right! .012. Remember! The next thing Brad said I needed to remember was the piston order 1-4-3-2. When Jakob drove out the driveway today, I ran out to hand him a treat, and he was beaming! "Thanks for having Dad help me Mom!" I love the self-confidence that comes from learning and succeeding! I am grateful for a good husband who is smart and will get his hands dirty! Over the past couple ...

Psalms of Life

Life has been full lately! I am sorry to see my gap in writing here. I am grateful to report on miracles all around! Today is August 14th, 2022. It has been a full year! In January Sam and Mylei got married on January 21st. It was not in the temple, but we are grateful they will get married and begin life together. It was a great day. The wedding was held at the Dance Hall in Washington. It was a nice evening. In February Haley and Chandler welcomed a little boy into their family. They are still living in Laramie. Cassidy is 3 this year. Alex is healthy and doing good! What a blessing to have these little ones joining our family! I have been taking BYUI classes, and as of today only have 10 credits left to finish a Bachelors Degree in Business Management. I have loved learning. That means that I have been up late nights working on homework for many months now. Just one more semester and I will complete that goal! Yay! Just a few weeks ago, Liesl and Brian were blessed ...

Gathering in these Days!

This last week in the world, the riots over Black Lives Matter have continued. They have slowed a bit in America, but now overseas they are destroying statues in England over this issue. President Nelson has called on the world to end this, he stands as a beautiful example of the Savior. Loving all. Extending arms of friendship and peace. In Come Follow Me readings - I note outlined months maybe even years ago to be published in our manuals for exactly THIS week we have been studying the story of Alma (the younger who is righteous now) being kicked out of the city by....riots! Yes. And then being told by the same angel that he is acceptable to the Lord, but that he needs to go back to the city. In the new Book of Mormon video which is fabulous (by the way) he not only goes back, but he runs back to the city. There to find Amulek. What a beautiful example of not hiding from the evils of the world, but of standing up for what is right. Over and over again in the last week have been ...
