Shaving shenanigans

We started with this. 

He’s had a beard since November. I have enjoyed it. 

This was the intermediate stage. Less than 30 minutes. 

He’s ended up with this lovely goatee. 

Remembering an old favorite

The missionaries came over for dinner and somehow we got to talking about what music they could listen to. I told them one of my favorite CDs back in the day was The Garden. I ran upstairs to my dusty CD collection and came down with it. Josh got the ancient boom box. And we shared a few songs with the elders. 

Boaz said he wanted the music on his phone. I headed upstairs to the computer and it took me about an hour to remember how to work the program and update it. Once I got it loaded on Boaz’s phone, Josh want it on his as well. 

Sunday I heard the music playing in the bathroom as Boaz was showering and getting ready for church. 

I do love this music. 

A check for Craig’s bucket list

Over 19 years ago I started learning about golf. I also started learning about some of the players. One of the first names I learned was Phil Mickelson. Craig has watched on TV since he became a pro, maybe even before that. 

Saturday the pro golfers came to Santa Monica for a tournament. 

Craig was up before the sun getting ready to see his favorite player. 

His goal was to get there early enough to see them on the putting green before they started playing. 

This is the shot from the first tee. 

I’m not sure what hole this is, but notice how close Phil is. 

And then this shot. 

At the end of the day, Craig watched all the young kids get the autographs. The best thing about Phil is how he treats his fans. He signed for all the youth, and then he stayed around for the old guys too. 

Watch Phil Mickelson play in person. Up close and personal. Check. 

Scripture - Alma 58

Helaman and his stripling army are reconquering their lost territories. They are way out-numbered. The large, remaining Lamanite army is holding one city. Helaman is tasked with getting it back. 

In their impossible circumstances, God tells them it doesn’t matter. It is important that they do their best, but really it is the Lord’s battle and He will prevail. 

They are basically witnesses to His power and ability. 

Today, looking at the craziness of the world, it is still the Lord’s campaign. We must just do our best. His power will be manifest and His glory made known.
