This will be a quick study because I have back to back conference calls at 9 and 9:30, then another at 10 and 11:30. Today is going to be a crazy day. My goal today will be to live in recovery, surrender my will to God, and make sure I just do the best I […]

What Does it Mean to Surrender to God?
Surrender is a word that comes up quite a bit in SA. However, I don’t hear it too much in the LDS 12 Steps. I wonder why? To surrender means “to agree to stop fighting, hiding, resisting, etc., because you know that you will not win or succeed. : to give the control or use […]
Why Jesus is For Everyone
Jesus is important to us because through His Atonement, teachings, hope, peace, and example, He helps us change our lives, face our trials, and move forward with faith as we journey back to Him and His Father. I talked about this yesterday in my lesson – change is essential if we want to return to […]
What does it mean to take upon us the name of Christ?
I got to give a lesson in church yesterday and felt that it was meant for me. Here are the notes: Lesson Notes Where does it say? – “…willing to take upon them the name of thy Son, and always remember Him” 1. D&C 20:77 Sacrament Prayers What does that mean? (ask each boy what […]
My Recovery Journal Today
Today is a new day in recovery. Today I had good meetings, both with Janece H. and Jeni S. (Discovery Meetings that I billed for). I also had my 2nd group call with the bootcamp. After those calls, I get so excited about doing things – I just want to keep working and working and […]

Journal Entry While at Scout Camp
I wrote this as an email to Becky yesterday. Well, scout camp is here, it’s raining, and I’m pretty lonely and bored. I did find some of the boys and find that most of my time will be spent babysitting them so they’ll pay attention. I had a good first call with boot camp and […]
My Next Endeavor
Well, it’s been a productive morning. I woke up fairly early and made a list of things I had to get done. Then I started doing them. They included: And these too (which I haven’t got done yet): ? Deposit HS and MM money 14.07.2015 ? Garbages back in 14.07.2015 ? Pray, read, write, share […]
How Can I Help My Wife in Her Tough Times?
Well, it hasn’t been the best of times in Michigan, although it has been pretty fun at times. Becky’s experience of seeing a screen-shot of the Words with Friends crap has made things extra hard and brought back the pain and bad feelings. It’s hard for her to work through them, especially without being able […]
