Unfortunately, I didn’t make any time over the holiday break to study specifically. I didn’t get online at all either, so I guess that’s a plus. Our holiday went really well. We went to Idaho to visit Mom, Dad, Larry, Julie, Pat, Jamie and Grandma Coffman. Grandma actually called me by name for the first […]

How Can I Have the Best Christmas Spirit
I studied about this yesterday but didn’t get a chance to write it all down. Becky and I talked yesterday about making sure we focus on what’s most important during the Christmas season – serving others. I shared this story that I’d found in my lesson for yesterday. A few days before Christmas, when Rob […]
Focus and Priorities
Today I’m going to study about “Focus and Priorities” by Elder Dallin H. Oaks. I feel this is a fitting topic for a couple reasons: I always need a reminder about the importance of doing first things first I have a lot of important things to do today and need to make sure I do […]
More Progresss with Step 9
Yesterday was a GREAT day for Step 9 progress. I called and talked to Jenny B. – one of the people I was probably most nervous to talk with. Our conversation was pretty good – we chatted for a bit about work and then I apologized. She was very appreciative and said she had had […]
Step 9 Progress!
Well, I took a step in the dark today and sent two emails to people I know I need to make amends with. I sent them emails requesting their phone numbers so I could talk with them on the phone. I’m sure, to both of them, it’s going to seem a bit awkward to get […]
Fairly Productive Day
Today has been a good day for a few reasons I think: I met with Jason in the morning and talked about my procrastination with doing Step 9 I sent Jason a list of the people I need to make amends with I chatted with one of them via internet today I made a long […]
Overcoming Lustful Desires
Today I’m going to study about overcoming lustful desires. Not only do I feel this is a core issue that I need to overcome, but I’ve been having difficulties lately with just “browsing” Facebook, looking at pictures of girls with no more than the intent to lust… I haven’t looked at pornography, but I feel […]
Faith Over Fear
Yesterday I studied about fear and how it is limiting to progress. It was really helpful to study that topic at this point in my career/life. It’s interesting, when I went to LDS.org today to look at talks from the recent General Conference, the talk “Faith – the Choice is Yours” by Richard C. Edgley […]
Fear is not Faith
Today was a pretty good day. I went to the meeting tonight and shared a bit about one of my core issues – fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of failure, fear of the future – these are some of the core issues that lead to my idleness, lack of productivity and then carry over […]
O That Cunning Plan of the Evil One
Yesterday was a good day, and I attribute a lot of the success to following the routine in the morning. I felt good about myself, I had a lot of energy, and I feel Heavenly Father blessed me for making a small sacrifice to do His will. One of the cool things that happened yesterday […]
