Tuesdays with Muerte

I gots $1300 in one hundred dollar bills for my Mazda Millenia. #FeelnGangster So naturally, I took pictures with me and my dead presidents . Then I gave them all away to pay for a year's worth of Amica Car Insurance.  Easy come. Easy go.

For the past two weeks, my refrigerator leaked water on our kitchen hardwood floor. Here's what you need to do to fix it. First thing you need to check is the veggie drawers to see if there is any water collected in there If that is clean, you may not be aware that many models of refrigerators have plastic pans underneath them to catch the water that defrosts from the freezer. Usually this water sits in the catcher until evaporates. Unfortunately, ours was cracked causing the water leak. There might be one more possibility, like there is a natural underwater spring beneath your frig, but I haven't looked into since my problem was resolved with the previous solution. Good luck.

Remember when I wrote about Mark , the handicap boy from Centerville? Well, I was watching a Tuesday morning devotional on BYU TV when i came across his name again. The Healing Power of the Atonement: 'More Hope in His Word' was given by President Bateman on April 30, 1998. In this address, he told a faith-promoting story of the Erickson family that was addressed the BYU Women's Conference. p.s. This link works Mom, the story begins at 42:30 of 54:54.

After over a year of watching, I have finally finished all 26 episodes of all 7 seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation. One of the reasons I followed the show for so long is because I felt like I learned something from every episode. The plot of each hour-long episode is typically formulated around a symbolic moral and is usually summarized at the end by Captain Jean-Luc Picard . Some of the themes addressed include: racism, bigotry, global awareness, slavery, pursuit of leisure time, career vs. family, friendship, moral courage, and respect of contradictory beliefs. However, sub-lessons are also taught throughout the episodes. These lessons are often expressed in simple, one-liners. For example, when Data, the Enterprise's Android Commander, discovers his first emotion [anger] he doesn't want to try to replicate it because he believes that it would make him a "bad person". The ship's counselor, Diana Troy, explains to Data that "feelings aren...

Someone suggested that I host a "name contest" on the blog. I feel like this is a stupendous idea! Well, let's go ahead and list our potential names here in the comments box. You are welcome to pose up to three names a piece. Then, in a few days, I'll build a thingy on the sidebar so that everyone who has invested interest can vote for 2. (Then I'll pick the real winner.) The real winner will be mailed a prize valued at just more than what I will have to pay for postage! May the best name win! p.s. Thanks Dad for tipping me off about Amica Insurance. I thought I needed to shop around, but you have proven once again to be the angle opposite the hypotenuse . . . (wait for it) You're always RIGHT!

1. They desire to do good . "And they all cried with one voice, saying: Yea, we believe all the words which thou hast spoken unto us; and also, we know of their surety and truth, because of the Spirit of the Lord Omnipotent, which has wrought a mighty change in us, or in our hearts, that we have no more disposition to do evil, but to do good continually ." [Mosiah 5:2] Additional example: Alma 13:12 - Alma spoke of people who "could not look upon sin save it were with abhorrence." 2. They do not rebel against God. "And as sure as the Lord liveth, so sure as many as believed, or as many as were brought to the knowledge of the truth, through the preaching of Ammon and his brethren, according to the spirit of revelation and of prophecy, and the power of God working miracles in them—yea, I say unto you, as the Lord liveth, as many of the Lamanites as believed in their preaching, and were converted unto the Lord, never did fall away.For they became a righteous...
