I'm going to try to motor through this, in the hopes of getting to bed a bit earlier. It's almost 9:40, and I should have been in bed 40 minutes ago, but if I can get to bed before 10, at least I'm still making progress each day, even if I haven't quite reached the … Continue reading 2025-06-28 (Saturday) — To Be Righteous In the Dark

Today is a blur. Had a good morning routine, good chat with the Big Guy, good gospel study... Ate breakfast, took some work calls, cleaned out Rover a little bit, helped Hans a bit with septic leach line stuff, did a full mucking out of the barn-ish area (getting all fresh and old horse apples … Continue reading 2025-06-27 (Friday) — I’m a South Dakotan 🙃

Kind of a meh day. And now that I think about it, I didn't fill my ears with uplifting things all day like I usually do. First thing in the morning, I had uplifting things I was listening to, and I was just beaming and happy, but then... I got started with work before I'd … Continue reading 2025-06-26 (Thursday) — The Longing

Another rough night's sleep last night. I'm not sure why. I wasn't in any weird random place. I just tossed and turned and woke up randomly all the time and just... Didn't sleep well. 🙃 Fortunately, I had a fairly successful morning routine, as well as a really good morning gospel study, so that was … Continue reading 2025-06-25 (Wednesday) — Creating Spiritually First

Little me be tired. 😴 Lovely day today. 😊 More comfortable blessings. And t'was my happy half birthday. 🙃 Nice to spend it in the temple--at least part of it. I woke up relatively early, and for whatever reason, I was exhausted. Maybe it's too many days in a row of heavy physical labor and … Continue reading 2025-06-24 (Tuesday) —  On the Lookout. Preparing.

Alohar! 😁 Happy almost Temple Tuesday! 🥳 (by the time I finish this post, I think it actually will be Temple Tuesday 🙃). Yes, I'm late for bed, but that's because instead of stopping at mule Creek junction like I usually do, I drove all the way to a parking area on the side of … Continue reading 2025-06-23 (Monday) — Captained, Consumed, Reborn

Alohar!🌮 🌺🌮 Happy Sabbath. 😊 It's been a lovely day today. 🥰 I mean, every day is a good day: It's just good in different ways, but today was more of a comfortable blessing day as opposed to an uncomfortable blessing day. 🙃 I got personal best scores on all three of my Elevate app … Continue reading 2025-06-22 (Sunday) — Colored Doggles

Oh boy. I'm tired. It's way past my bedtime; and I really don't want to write tonight. I just want to go to bed. 🙃 But that wouldn't be very good now would it. 😅 Discipline, Stephen. Discipline. Okay, so I got up a bit later than I would want to with my new attempted … Continue reading 2025-06-21 (Saturday) — Battle of the Septic

I'm exhausted. It's been a long day. It's been an up and down and back up day. And I'm grateful that it's ending on the back up. 🙏 It's funny, yesterday, I talked about feeling like I was seeing a light at the end of the consecration tunnel, the light that illuminated the the reality … Continue reading 2025-06-20 (Friday) — All on the Altar Yet? 😆

I am beat, and I don't even feel like I've really done that much today. Got up relatively early and did my morning routine stuff. The super productive first thing in the morning, just checking things off the list right and left for routine stuff and random errands of different kinds. Heather and Hans were … Continue reading 2025-06-19 (Thursday) — Black Hills Snorkeling
