Day 9 – Daily Scripture – More on Submitting Will
It’s late but I missed yesterday and didn’t want to miss two days in a row. Today was a good day overall. Becky and I went and did sealings early this morning, which was a great way to start the day. BYU got worked for the 2nd time in a row in Football (which was […]

Daily Scripture – Day 2
