So I have been neglecting the journal lately because there is so much going on. I have been adding content to the civil engineering website. I have a lot of content to add to a tire chain site. I am on a race with time to get an authentication plugin working with Jive for the company I work with. We are getting more and more jobs for the civil engineering company and now I need to make a decision soon on when I should cut over. My thinking now is November 1. That is because tire chains will be in full force at that time and I can make a run at getting chains into local stores. I cannot help but wonder if I could add some significant income by expanding out the tire chain business. Furthermore, that will be the time that we will be doing a lot of BMP setups for the engineering company. So, if all goes as expected, I should be more than fully employed for 3 months or more and should be able to last some downtime in March or April if more stuff does not come up – which it may. I could also at that time go after getting jobs to write Jive plugins. This is defineately something to pray about. I have time to make this decision.

I think it is also time to say something about the Temple. A week ago, I went to the Temple on Friday night. I absolutely love that place and wish I could go every week. I try to go every other week – the week the kids are with thier mom; but in reality, I only make it once a month. Sometimes, when I get there that once a month, I spend extra time in there. There is no place that you can feel the spirit more strongly than when in the temple. I was just overwhelmed to tears that last Friday night. In fact, it seems to happen every time I go. The spirit just is so strong the I feel overwhelmed to tears. The spirit just gives you such a peaceful and joyful feeling. To me, it is the true definition of happiness. Money cannot buy it.

Well, I continue to live a very happy life. I still don’t have much regarding material posessions. So many others are suffering right now not being able to make ends meet. But we are able to get by raising the kids and taking care of our family needs. I really am grateful about it.

Take care.
