Beautiful New Week

I am so grateful for EMZ. It starts not just my day but my entire week off on a positive note. Last weekend was awful. This weekend I'm going to get out of my comfort zone and attend FHE tonight to start with and then my relief society dinner and activity Tuesday. I need to tell that sweet girl Stephanie I'm actually not in her Relief Society. That was actually Julie's class I attended although I didn't see her there. I remember their president Denise from the first dinner group I went to up in the Avenues.

There is the perfect part time job as an adjunct teacher at SLCC teaching Library Science. Interesting. There is also a good opening at the City Library. FINALLY there are some openings around me. I REALLY want one of those 61,000.00 Library manager jobs for the state. It would be profitable AND I wouldn't spend much on gas. It would be perfect and it makes a new car AND Westgate loft extremely doable. The opening at the city pays 52,000 which would be alright but now that I know about the Manager job I'd rather get 61,000 now.

I need to attend the LDS networking thing this morning at LDS Business College. I also want to check out the Thursday social dance class although I don't have a partner. I hope they have some there I can learn with if not I will have to find one. I'm doing this to meet more people though so first I'll go by myself and see if I can meet anyone there then I'll try to get a dtifferent partner each week if that doesn't work.

I'm probably not going to see ANYONE as fine as Curtis there and I need to remember how rare that is. He is just the last amazing Mid Single I met who just happened to look like a model. He is sweet and he is going to meet if he hasn't already some pretty sweet girl who wants to live and die in Cache Valley too. Not that anything is wrong with that. It is just not what I want.

So I get to find someone new with qualities I like. I love my ward choir. Heather is so talented. She is even better than Jayme who taught choir at Bear River High School. She is better than Amanda too who did the same thing at Logan High. While I can't sight read I have an idea of what the music means and I can follow along just fine and once I hear it a couple times I've got it down pact. While I still want to check off piano playing from my bucket list, I would rather develop my singing.

Ether 7
 27 And there were no more wars in the days of Shule; and he remembered the great things that the Lord had done for his fathers in bringing them across the great deep into the promised land; wherefore he did execute judgment in righteousness all his days.

What a wonderful statement to be included, that he did execute judgment in righteousness all his days. 

Parents: The Prime Gospel Teachers of Their Children - Tad R. Callister
As their prime gospel teachers, we can teach them the power and reality of the Atonement—of their identity and divine destiny—and in so doing give them a rock foundation upon which to build. When all is said and done, the home is the ideal forum for teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ.

17 years of age, I was kneeling by my bed, saying my evening prayers. Unbeknown to me, my mother was standing in the doorway. When I finished, she said, “Tad, are you asking the Lord to help you find a good wife?”
Her question caught me totally off guard. That was the furthest thing from my mind. I was thinking about basketball and school. And so, I replied, “No,” to which she responded, “Well, you should, son; it will be the most important decision you will ever make.”
Which parent in Book of Mormon times would have let their sons march out to the front of battle without a breastplate and shield and sword to protect them against the potentially mortal blows of the enemy? But how many of us let our children march out the front door each morning to the most dangerous of all battlefields, to face Satan and his myriad of temptations, without their spiritual breastplate and shield and sword that come from the protective power of prayer? 
In the life to come, I do not know if titles such as bishop or Relief Society president will survive, but I do know that the titles of husband and wife, father and mother, will continue and be revered, worlds without end
What a great talk and how true it seems to be. I like going the extra mile when I teach a lesson in church. What a wonderful reminder of how important it is to give the same attention to teaching my children. The children I don't have but STILL even when I just have FHE with my husband I have to give the same attention so that it is automatic to give that attention and care to my children. I think it is the same with everything. I should cook well for myself now and eat well so I can do that some day for my husband and children. Eternity is now. Everything we do needs to be done well. Half-ass jobs reap the effort put into them. We sow what we reap.
