Almost Done!

I was recently studying D&C 3 and 10 where the Lord was chastizing Joseph Smith for losing the 116 pages. Then with love, He told him that he was forgiven and could start translating again. Then came the advice: "Nevertheless, it is now restored unto you again; therefore see that you are faithful and continue on unto the finishing of the remainder of the work of translation as you have begun. Do not run faster or or labor more that you have strength and means provided to enable you to translate; but be diligent unto the end. Pray always..." D&C 10:3-4.

I made a list of all the life lessons learned in these two chapters and the one I want to share with you is this: Finish what you start, know your capacity and pace yourself.

I took this to heart with regard to my "project" (my personal history). I have found that a little here and a little there has turned out to be a big accomplishment. I am almost finished, which is something I never really visualized. I am so happy to be at this point, seeing the end in sight. It has been a pleasure for me to revisit the past and realize how involved Heavenly Father has been in my life in little and in big things. I leave this post with another encouragement to all: "write it down, take a picture and remember." Have a Happy Day.

David's Fitness Bio

David was asked to create a bio for the Fitness Club to be shown at a company party next month. He is a finalist for "Employee of the Year" and they wanted some short stories with pictures. This is what he came up with. Enjoy.

No matter what I do with my hair, it always ends up looking the same. This little boy was born in 1941 and has loved every single day since.
When he was little he wanted to be either a Cowboy or a Group Fitness Instructor.
Guess what won.
It all started when he joined the Army and became a tank commander and Physical Training instructor. He has been making people do push ups ever since!
He got distracted when he found his true love who has been helpful and supportive of all the push ups required through their 45 year marriage!
The result of this love affair are 5 spectacular children and 11 awesome grandchildren all who are required to do push ups.
The only thing that takes him away from encouraging people to be fit and loving it is riding into the sunset with his sweetie.
So when you’re in his class and he tells you “heavy” just do it and when you’re looking in the mirror at his age, just remember the good ol’ days and Keep on Keepin’ on.

The Good Ol' Days -- How about that hunk I married?
