Story Story: The essential part of any journey to success
My events leading up to finishing the book Story Story I awake from a dream I remember not. I spy the alarm clock: 5:44 am. “Yikes! It’s time to get Kaelyn to seminary!” I say as I strategically bump Denielle with my hand feigning a stretch. She doesn’t budge. My turn to get up. I fetch a…
Faith is like a little seed, if planted it will grow
“But we are only eight verses away,” Neil says excitedly as we were about to conclude our family scripture study. “We have to finish it!” For the first time as a family, we are about to complete the Book of Mormon, cover to cover. Yes, we have read many times from the Book of Mormon, but…
Wands at the ready: How to build a family farm on faith
What makes a good story good? Why are some stories, you know, the tween-turn-teen-muddles-through-life-to-discover-he’s-really-a-wizard-and-will-go-on-to-defeat-the-bad-guys kinds of stories, so powerful they sell millions of books and gets retold in another million mediums? Why do we relate so fondly to characters who seem at first blush ordinary but later discover within themselves extraordinary gifts and power? Because…
The mind of God revealed in a weekend
My current vocabulary is not equipped with the right words to convey my joy of writing to you today. The Spirit is strong right now, and what I mean by that is I can feel the fruits of the Holy Ghost: kindness, charity, joy, righteousness, peace, a desire to do good works, a desire to…
My purpose-driven blog post and its potential to drive you crazy
Living life with intent by prioritizing those things that matter most “I thought we would have more time to study together,” I commented to Denielle this morning as we exercised by walking the hills of a nearby neighborhood. “How are we busier now than before this new adventure?” It is an interesting phenomenon that a worldschooling, blogging-podcasting-publishing-business husband…
How a hotdog, bounce house, and a pastor had an eternal impact
This planet is bursting with good people doing good things for good reasons. They say hi when you walk by. They share a kind word when you most need it. They pick up trash in the park. They pray with you in an Aldis parking lot. They even offer hotdogs, chips and cookies to a…
How a cub scout trip to City Hall could change the world
Answer to all life’s problems inspired by the mayor of Papillion “Yes?” asks Mayor Black, pointing to my son Neil. “My dad likes to pick up trash in the park,” Neil says, lowering his hand as he responds to the mayor’s question. “That’s good,” says the mayor. “That means I don’t need to use your money…
A typical day for an untypical worldschooling family
“You should write a post about our schedule as a worldschooling [homeschooling for travelers] family,” Denielle said after breakfast one morning. Happy wife; happy life. Perhaps, Dear Reader, you very well might be interested in the routine of a family traveling the country — and eventually when finances approve, the world! — and their comings…
Would you like to feed our pig?
“Hey kids, who wants to go feed a pig today?” asks Denielle over breakfast in our Nebraska housesit. No hands shot up but little Lydia’s and Casey’s. “Why would we do that?” Neil asked, rubbing at the sleep still in his eyes. “Doesn’t sound like fun.” “A member in our Church owns a small farm and said we…
