Simply Tired

Sunday July 17, 2011

Perhaps I need to do something about the lack of connectivity or perhaps not. I really don’t miss the internet at all. Maybe I should be more connected with things but I guess I can still catch enough of that on my phone or smart phone as they are more affectionately known today. I don’t blog on the so called smart phone because it is a real pain in, well, my hands and fingers to type on the little keypad. I grew up in a different era I guess. You know, back in the dark ages when they taught typing in high school on a good old fashioned typewriter. I mastered the home row keys. Do they even teach that anymore or has that moved on to texting? I have no clue. How many words a minute do you text? Strange really. Anyhow, connectivity for blog purposes would be useful. I need to get my last few blogs posted. I am sure my fan base is wondering where the heck I am. Still here people. Still writing everyday; just not posting everyday at the moment.

There are a few things that have gone a little skew since moving. I have not been on the elliptical in over a week. That has put a damper on my miles for July. I need to get cranking and get this little room together so I can get the machine in here and get going. I am a bit, shall we say, exhausted lately. Simply tired and a bit worn out. All the more reason to press on and get it done so I can get back to the benefits of those runs.

It was High Council Sunday and I am happy to report that there wasn’t anything discussed relative to not being able to be a good parent if you are single. No, we had Brother Rand Bettridge and his wife visiting today. They spoke about pioneers and both did a great job. Sister Bettridge shared some of the events surrounding the Willey and Martin Handcart companies and the trials they went through. I couldn’t help but think about what was endured for faith. Despite the troubles and the hardships that these companies went through they remained faithful to the Lord. Despite the loss of life that was experienced along the way they remained faithful to the Lord. There is no doubt that there were times when these people were simply tired and yet they pressed forward. I am grateful for those examples of unwavering faith and hope that I may be filled with the same.
