Working Smarter not Harder

I had a pretty nice day. Work was a breeze tonight. I am learning to work "smarter" and not "harder". I am using the theory of not wasting motion. So, tonight I was able to clean all the offices in 1 hour by myself. I mopped all the rooms that needed it. I need to write down everything I do, so Greg or someone else will know how to when I go on my trip in June. Tonight we went to a missions meeting at church. There were only a handful of people, but it was really good. Most everyone there had... Sign in to see full entry.

Blogging here

I have been reading around in blog-it land. I am thankful to be here and read about other's beliefs and how they see life. But I think I am going to stay out of all the debates, as I am not a good debater and I don't like to argue. I can't focus on why I am here if I get involved in the wars. I will pray for the people, Christian, Atheist and Agnostics and other things that I read about as the Lord leads me. So, having said that I will go on to what I am here for. Mainly to just write about what... Sign in to see full entry.

Paco painting

Our friend in Tucson, Arizona is a painter. He also writes songs and other things and plays the guitar. We have stayed in the "tinker camp" many times, sitting around the campfire near our trailers in December. Here is a youtube of him painting in fast-motion, with a song he wrote. God bless you and hope you enjoy it! Sign in to see full entry.

Skills the boys have learned

I tried to post a youtube twice this morning. I am pretty sure I did it right. I'll just have to try later. I got up early. Lots of time sorting out some things and talking with my 2 girls at home. Greg took the 2 boys to work. They are having a few days off home school to help their dad. But all the things they learn from him now will carry into their adult life. I am so thankful for the skills the boys have learned over the years: (Some of our boys have not learned all these skills) welding... Sign in to see full entry.

My day in a nut shell

I really should get to bed soon (and I will). But first I want to write a little about my day. Greg went to work early, taking the boys this time. He was pouring a concrete slab for someone. In the morning I went to mapquest and planned my itinerary to Tucson. It doesn't have Mexico, but I have been through so many times I know where to stop... At about 2:00 I went to a house cleaning job. The house is quite big. Three large bedrooms, three bathrooms, a dining room, a family room, a den, a large... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

I plan on writing about past and present life experiences and what I have learned from them. I also want to tell stories of things in my past, some humourus, some serious and some trivial. I have done some traveling and want to describe those places and people accurately, maybe in some cases changing names if I see it could embarrass someone. I will write out of my heart and hopefully give hope to some of my readers. I do not have all the answers, but have lived long enough to know there are many trials in life and obstacles. I want to examine life, it's simplicities and complexities and share my observation and at times opinions with others.
