Merry Christmas

Yesterday during the "Spoken Word" by Lloyd Newell, I decided to record what I am thankful for in this blog. 1. Today, I am thankful for an eternal wife and family

 Agency is the ability and privilege God gives us to choose and to act for ourselves. Agency is essential in the plan of salvation. Without it, we would not be able to learn or progress or follow the Savior. With it, we are “free to choose liberty and eternal life, through the great Mediator of all men, or to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and power of the devil” (2 Nephi 2:27)

In 1972 I married a girl with six children. Since then we increased our family by three. -- two boys and one girl. To read more go to my life story in About Me.

I finished "Five Weeks In A Balloon" by Jules Verne.  I really enjoyed it.

I discovered Jules Verne at LibriVox the other day.  Since then I have listened to several books.  Unfortunately, some of them contain profanity.  Most don't mind but I do.  I would appreciate your help.

Don't aim at success--the more you aim
at it and make it a target, the more you are
going to miss it. For success, like
happiness, cannot be persued; it must
ensue, and it only does so as the un-
intended side-effect of one's personal
dedication to a cause greater than oneself
or as the by-product of one's surender to a
person other than oneself. Happiness must
happen, and the same holds for success;
you have to let it happen by not caring about it.
