I have lived in Salt Lake City for exactly 15 months now. So much has changed in these 15 months. I started learning guitar. I resumed piano lessons. I had my first sip of alcohol. I hiked a couple big (for me) mountains. I got involved in a church denomination different from the one I’d [...]

Throughout the summer, as you well know, Heather and I have been going on hikes with the Mt. Olympus Presbyterian group. We met a great couple there named Nancy and Dave:
As you’ll remember from a previous entry, I started taking piano lessons again and found myself in need of a piano. I visited a piano [...]

Sound the trumpets! Here’s an online clip from yesterday’s press conference.
And tonight on the news was the following…which I had to quickly get my own camera to record…sorry for the quality:
I find that having a deep voice is the only way people can tell I’m not 17.
(By the way–to respond to Bruce [...]
my Good Friday devotion
Posted in God, family, missionary, prayer, writing on April 5, 2009 | 7 Comments »
It is officially Holy Week, everyone. I had the opportunity to write a devotion for Good Friday, and have it posted on the General Board of Global Ministries website. It was a challenge for me to write about this holiday, because I no longer interpret Jesus’ crucifixion in a traditional way. If you click on the [...]
protest yesterday

We had over 50 people attend our protest over Medicaid cuts. Several people testified in the governor’s office, with impassioned pleas and voices breaking. I hope it makes a difference.
3,300 free turkeys

My workplace has two big turkey giveaways, one for Thanksgiving and one for Christmas. Today was my first taste of all the work involved. I tossed turkeys on an assembly line, bagged potatoes & apples, directed traffic, coordinated volunteers, broke down cardboard boxes, and lost my voice. I thought about taking pictures of the enormous [...]

My coworker says this is a polygamist compound, where a man can live with his many wives. I found that hard to believe…but my coworker is a native Utahn, has lived in Utah for several decades, and probably knows her stuff. I would like to give these residents the benefit of the doubt, though, so together [...]
prayer for safe travels

This morning I shall embark upon a southern Utah road trip with my coworker. It lasts from Friday to Tuesday. We are traveling from church to church to talk about legislative issues that relate to our faith, and how congregants can get involved. I’ll also tell younguns about the US-2 program and encourage them to [...]
