Other than my mission, I have not kept much of a journal. During my wife’s illness and after her death, I was not willing to or even able to share much and there were so many stories that need to be told. During this pandemic, I decided it was time to write down some of my family stories and to capture my observations on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and life in general. I wanted to learn how to build a web site, so posting these essays and photos here was good motivation.
I love stories, it is my favorite way of learning as well as teaching. Some of these stories I have been noodling for many years, others I started during this pandemic. In writing these stories I have come to recognize how often the Lord has intervened in my behalf, and in behalf of my family. Writing down the events of our lives is more than keeping a journal for posterity. For me, it is a way of remembering. As I write these stories, memories flood back, insight is sharpened and lessons relearned.
