Work gloves!

Dear family,
I love you all.  What more can I say?
Love,
Dad

I wish I had gotten more done today at work. I closed the GL and hoped to get lots done on the Call Report but somehow the morning raced away.  Because we replaced a bunch of our computers we are now having to troubleshoot some configuration issues that are slowing us down.  We'll get it all figured out, but I wish we could get it all figured out immediately.  Wow, do I sound impatient!

I had a nice visit with Mark today at lunch.  I'm so glad for the joy he is finding in his missionary labors.  I also enjoyed visiting with Jessie this evening while fixing dinner.  I'm a lucky dad.

Thankful: I'm thankful for the scriptures.  In Come, Follow Me this week I am reading about the sacrament and finding some new ideas.  I'm trying to make notes of what I'm learning.  In a couple days I'll paste in my ideas.

Ministering: I'm glad I followed a prompting this afternoon.  I am a little frustrated with one of our vendors.  I asked them for some information over a week ago and they are not being very responsive.  Tonight one of their employees emailed and apologized that no one had gotten me the info I requested.  She mentioned having to leave early on Friday for a family emergency.  I sent a reply expressing concern, and we exchanged a couple emails.  Her grandpa passed away on Friday, and I'm glad I took a few minutes to offer condolences.  Everyone needs a little extra compassion from time to time.

More later…

I bought the little kids work gloves today.  They were supposed to be to plant some flowers tonight for FHE, but I bought the wrong kind of potting soil.  So we'll have to use them tomorrow.
