I seem to feel optimistic more than otherwise lately and I’m grateful for it. Sometimes the future can still feel overwhelming, but if I choose to think about today It’s much better.
The land brokerage class yesterday was ok, and I gleaned a couple things, but mostly it felt like a sales pitch for a certification that the teacher does other classes for. I’m already done with all the required CE classes, so it felt a little bit like a waste of time, but it did inspire a couple of ideas to pack away for the future.
My Cirrus Drive Life campaign is shaping up. It’s easy to post anything from our life here that represents the place we live.
I was happy to get my oil changed and car washed after the class yesterday.
And I even got a long walk in with Moose.
Today I’ll go to office meeting, get a Jargon files video done, and try to get out of there and come back to Caldwell to get some work done closer to home.
Tonight I hope to have some interviews at the church.

Reading and pondering about Joseph Smith is a weighty thing. It’s easy to get caught up in the social or day to day things of the church, but focusing on Joseph Smith brings into clarity the magnitude of what members of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints believe.
Believing the words of Joseph Smith, and the experiences he relates, is an admission that God has an active interest in what we are doing today. It’s hard to articulate the idea I have in my head, but I think it’s that it’s more difficult to believe and have faith in a prophet in our time than to say one believes in the prophets of the Bible. The farther away from us in time someone is, the easier to say “If I had been there I would have listened and believed.”
