My Tokyo Drift Moment

As I was driving home from work in a snowstorm last night. I found myself sliding sideway down the freeway in my car. I tried to steer into it. Then the car pivoted, and I tried to correct it the other direction. I saw the wall, a barrier that divide the north and southbound traffic racing towards me. By some miracle, as we slid toward the barrier, the car seemed to grab the snow and we were able to slow down and avoid a collision with the barrier. It was terrifying for a brief moment followed up by many sighs of relief.

We got a new correlator and I’m very excited to work with him. He really wants to baptize so that’s exciting. Calls came and my comp is off to Staten Island.

I guess there was a bomb up the street from our house last night. They had 2 ambulances a bomb squad and about 6-7 police cars. Crazy. Ya, we didn’t stick around they had about 2 blocks roped off so you couldn’t go in the blocked-off area.

My quest started with evaluating the 2017 and the 2024 eclipse and marking the Church History sites the two eclipses cross in Missouri, Ohio, and New York. The 2017 Eclipse crosses Liberty Jail, Jackson County, Huns Mill, Adom-ondi-Ahman, the Jackson County Temple Site, and more. In 2024 the eclipse will pass over Kirtland, Palmyra, The Sacred Grove and Hill Camorah.

Wow, we got ready to leave and left this morning going to a street meeting. As we walked down the road not more than two streets from our house a drunk man stopped us.  We had passed him and he said “Hay you!” We went back and he said, “Hay, you talk about God, ya?”  We said, “Yep.” He acted a little weird and denied the first time he was drunk and I would have left but he said, “Come to my house and talk to me about God.” I thought wow, street meeting or give him a few minutes? So we went with him to his house.  I know he was plastered beyond belief.

By small and simple means

I was at work yesterday.  My boss, Davis and I were talking to co-worker about a new position they were filling.  David shared a quote from I had not hear before “Slow is Smooth and Smooth is Fast”. I understand the principle, but I really enjoyed how it explained it in terms of this individual learning their new position. As pondered it more, the phase resonated with many things I knew to be true.
