1. When Nephi's steel arrow broke and he make himself a new one from wood he did not use the arrow from his previous bow... why was that?
A steel bow uses short arrows because there is less flexibility with the bow, therefore the shorter bows would not work with the more flexible wood bow. Nephi had to make longer arrows for his new bow.
1. One of my Hero's is my brother, Eric. We spent today with him and his family as he was sustained and set apart as a the 2nd Counselor in the Bishopric of his ward. He is a wonderful husband, father and uncle. He honors his priesthood and has always been a great leader. He will be awesome.
Its funny how as children we did not get along. We drove our parents crazy with our fighting. It wasn't until I went away to college and he later left on his mission, that our relationship developed. I am so grateful that that HE is the uncle of my daughters and that he has such a great relationship with them. I am thankful that his family is so close by and that we are able to spend Sunday dinners and holiday BBQ's with each other.
My childhood arch-enemy has become one of my dearest friends..
1. It took all day... but I did accomplish something this week. Evan and I finished another phase on the painting project. We are almost there! We have committed to complete our project (including hanging the new light fixtures) by thanksgiving. I am hoping to have our traditional "large crowd" at the house. Rumor has it that the Chadwick's may join us as well.
2. Chester loves home... somehow, for an undetermined amount of time, Chester managed to escape the house. As I was cleaning up from the painting event, I opened the door leading to the garage and there he was, sitting at the top of the stairs. I don't know if he cruised the neighborhood or not, but so far, there has not been any phone calls from neighbors inquiring about missing loaves of bread.
