This is the week

Ragnar is this week.
I'm getting scared again.
I was feeling so good, but since then my body has really been hurting knees, hips, feet ...
the thought of running 3 times in 24 hours sounds like a horrible idea.
I keep reminding myself that it will be fun and I am excited to be doing something for me.

It will be weird being away from the kids for so long and I'm kinda stressed about that too. Doesn't look like Jeff will be able to get the day off so finding care is really stressful. Luckily I have lots of family and friends close and willing to help, but I just feel bad about it too. I'm still hoping Jeff will be able to get it off, but we'll see.

Lots to do before Friday. I'm hoping to catch up on blog post soon.

And just an FYI P has used the potty at least once a day for a week! And all on his own. So exciting!

You are going to ROCK it. I did the Utah Ragnar here in June and thought it sounded totally crazy to spend 24 hours up all night and be paying like over $100 to do it! What?? I should just get a hotel room for that price and SLEEP for 24 hours. BUT...I LOVED it! The best run of my life was my 10 miler at midnight next to a lake running with a head lamp. SO PEACEFUL and SERENE! CRAZY! I am SO proud of you for doing this. Maybe we can run a race together some day:) xoxo

You've been on my mind all week, every day. I am sure you'll be great and don't stress about getting help from family and friends. That's what they're for. Plus, it's repayment for all the times you helped me and I'm sure others before too. :)

Rest up tomorrow and then E-N-J-O-Y this experience! I hope you feel such Joy having the wind at your face, the road going on and on before you and nothing but your thoughts to yourself. I don't like to run, but describing it that way makes me want to go right now! Anyway, can't wait to hear more when you get back. :)

Love ya!

The Light of the World

By
I was asked to give a talk yesterday in church.  Kinda daunting knowing it was Christmas Sunday, but I think it went pretty well.  I like remembering my talk so I'm throwing it up here mainly for my own record.  But maybe it will bless the lives of others too.  I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and that the Light of Christ will be upon you and radiate from you now and forever. Jesus Christ: The Light of the World Rebecca’s talk given on 12/20/2015 Jesus Christ.  Can a topic be any broader? I have spent a lot of time over the last 6 weeks trying to decide what direction I wanted to go and I kept going back to the same thought, Jesus is the light of the world.  This is not an insignificant statement, but very profound and very important.  Let’s start from the beginning. Many Prophets have testified of the fact that Jesus Christ is the light of the world long before the Savior was even born.  The very first sign of his bir...

Because God Love's Us

  How is Christ’s Birth Significant to me Talk on 12/20/2020 Good Morning Brothers and Sisters & Merry Christmas!   Heavenly Father must know my preferred method for giving a talk is procrastinating because I have been called to fill in last minute on many occasions.   However, this is the first time it’s happened on Christmas Sunday.   But I am happy to be here with you and I’m so grateful for technology that allows us to meet and worship together, especially during this Christmas season.   I’m not gonna lie, this is weird speaking on zoom.   I much prefer being together and making eye contact with you and seeing your encouraging smiles.   So please bear with any awkwardness I may have.   When initially asked to speak, Brother Smith gave me the topic of “How Christ’s birth is significant to me.”   My initial response was, could that topic be any broader?   But then gratefully he followed it up with “Particularly from the prosp...

Kid's Talks

  Riley’s Primary Talk on Baptism 3/15/20 Today I want to talk on Baptism.   Being baptized is a commandment from Heavenly Father.   We have to be baptized to make it back to Him.   Even Jesus Christ was baptized.   If Jesus Christ was baptized we should be baptized too.   When we turn 8 years old we can choose to follow Jesus Christ’s example and be baptized too.   When we are baptized and confirmed we become members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.     If you have already been baptized, you should remember the covenants, or promises you made.   If you have not been baptized, you should study and pray and keep the commandments so that when you turn 8 years old you will be ready. We should all remember how important baptism is.   I am really excited I get to be baptized next year.   In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen Faith Parker’s Talk   2/16/20   Today, my talk is going to be about f...
