Journal Entry 

Another very quiet day. I'm nearing the end of my second week with a cast on my right lower leg and foot.  Walking is discouraged though I have a big clunky boot that I can put on over the cast and I do that when necessary to go out but not much.

Today will also be long and quiet and boring.

Tomorrow I'm going to hopefully meet with Craig Merrill who might have some solid suggestions for putting together a trust or will which is long overdue. When we pass we want there to be minimal adverse effects for our sons.

Come Follow Me 

D&C 90:24 Search diligently, pray always, and be believing, and all things shall work together for your good, if ye walk uprightly and remember the covenant wherewith ye have covenanted one with another.

[Our family motto was]: “It will all work out.” Yet how can we say those words to one another when deep troubles come and answers aren’t readily available?...

"Our family motto doesn’t say, “It will all work out now.” It speaks of our hope in the eternal outcome—not necessarily of present results. Scripture says, “Search diligently, pray always, and be believing, and all things shall work together for your good.” This doesn’t mean all things are good, but for the meek and faithful, things—both positive and negative—work together for good, and the timing is the Lord’s. We wait on Him, sometimes like Job in his, knowing that God “maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.” A meek heart accepts the trial and the waiting for that time of healing and wholeness to come."
