The Posts I Haven't Been Writing

  • What I like about my new job (#1: on the first day they let me ring the bell in the tower)
  • Fobsvithe on how I feel about obedience as a principle of spiritual growth (and why the earring thing is about earrings, regardless of what anyone says, and why moving to the front of the congregation when the speaker asks you to is not a moral issue)
  • A post inviting people to accompany me and Foxy to Superman Returns tomorrow (Thursday) at 12:30 at Riverwoods.
  • A post inviting people to join me and Foxy at a free Michael Franti & Spearhead concert in Salt Lake next Thursday.
  • A post about how three different sets of people expect me to be in three different places come September, and I'm not sure which to choose (though one set, the one that expects me to be teaching at UVSC, just needs to be informed that I won't be there)
  • How I can breathe now that I'm taking steroids.
  • How I was ashamed to learn Monday that I have periodontal disease from not flossing regularly but pleased to learn that I have no cavities from brushing regularly.
  • How I'm wondering if having a family life [with the new and improved family and the second job to support them] means I won't have time to have a social life, and how that would be a sucky sacrifice to make but there's no question about whether I'd make it.
  • How, despite the fact that I feel tired lately and have basically no free time and I miss my friends, I feel happy because it's good to be Foxy J's husband and S-Boogie and Little Dude's dad.

* Of course not. You got the cavities from candy.

* I would go with you. But since I'm not going with you, I likely will not go.

* We're putting my kid on steroids for five days. Let's see who bulks up quickest! (From all that extra oxygen, I mean.

* I'm glad to see that visiting us is still on the list of things to do come September.

I like this short-hand version of several posts... I might steal it.

It is hard to be so busy having 2 jobs and a family that you desparately want to be with but then miss your friends. Maybe invite some over?

I'm sad that I cannot join you for Superman. Sigh. I did so want to see that. I will be sending you and Foxy jealous( but harmless)o thought rays from my desk tomorrow.

I want you to write the post where you share your many, many (or maybe seven) writing sins with the world.

Thanks for chatting with me last night.

I want you to write the post on how you feel about obedience. Also, I'd like you to address whether ignoring strong suggestions (as opposed to commandments) is a good/bad idea. Maybe if you answer "correctly," I will let my kids read your response. They think you're cooler than I am.

I'm not sure I'll have the "correct" answer, Daltongirl, but I'm flattered that your kids think I'm cooler than you are. I'll write that post one of these days.

I, too, would like to read some of those posts. 'Hope you'll find time to write them.
