Specifically, at 04:05:06, 07/08/09 this morning (a date/time combination not to occur for another 1,000 years) I was awake, experiencing the second-long moment. Of course, I was changing a child’s diaper at [...]]]> http://mr.smith.smithfam.us/2009/07/08/040506-070809-where-were-you/feed/ 0 http://mr.smith.smithfam.us/2009/04/16/starburst-flavored-jelly-beans/ http://mr.smith.smithfam.us/2009/04/16/starburst-flavored-jelly-beans/#comments Fri, 17 Apr 2009 02:36:38 +0000 Mr. Smith http://mr.smith.smithfam.us/?p=188 OK, so I tend to be the type of person that grabs a (small) handful of candies and pops them into the mouth at the same time.  I don’t have a well developed sense of taste – which I’m sure is because I have fewer taste buds than average, and not because of my eating [...]]]> http://mr.smith.smithfam.us/2009/04/16/starburst-flavored-jelly-beans/feed/ 0 http://mr.smith.smithfam.us/2009/03/07/wordpressmu-upgrade/ http://mr.smith.smithfam.us/2009/03/07/wordpressmu-upgrade/#comments Sat, 07 Mar 2009 16:33:59 +0000 Mr. Smith http://mr.smith.smithfam.us/2009/03/07/wordpressmu-upgrade/ I’m sure Mrs. Smith is happy. I’ve upgraded our WordPress installation to a newer release, so she can enjoy all the features she’s wanted. I don’t know that it will change appearance for the casual reader; but for those that have additional access (authors, editors, et al) you’ll notice changes throughout the back-end. Happy blogging!]]> http://mr.smith.smithfam.us/2009/03/07/wordpressmu-upgrade/feed/ 0 http://mr.smith.smithfam.us/2009/03/06/sweet-affirmation/ http://mr.smith.smithfam.us/2009/03/06/sweet-affirmation/#comments Sat, 07 Mar 2009 04:02:46 +0000 Mr. Smith http://mr.smith.smithfam.us/?p=150 In Helaman 10, Mormon records the Lord’s dealings with the Prophet Nephi and the people in general.  Mormon records Nephi’s righteousness and how he has sought the Lord’s will and to keep His commandments at all times, irrespective of what personal danger or discomfort it may impose.  And, because of this [Nephi's unwearyingness], the Lord [...]]]> http://mr.smith.smithfam.us/2009/03/06/sweet-affirmation/feed/ 0 http://mr.smith.smithfam.us/2009/03/05/hushing-ones-fears/ http://mr.smith.smithfam.us/2009/03/05/hushing-ones-fears/#comments Fri, 06 Mar 2009 03:31:08 +0000 Mr. Smith http://mr.smith.smithfam.us/?p=148 So a few months back I read something in the book of Mosiah, in the Book of Mormon, which has stuck with me and I think of from time to time.  It takes place shortly after Alma (the Elder, a Nephite Prophet), leads a few hundred souls away from the wicked King Noah’s clutches.  Alma [...]]]> http://mr.smith.smithfam.us/2009/03/05/hushing-ones-fears/feed/ 0 http://mr.smith.smithfam.us/2009/02/25/still-alive/ http://mr.smith.smithfam.us/2009/02/25/still-alive/#comments Thu, 26 Feb 2009 05:50:09 +0000 Mr. Smith http://mr.smith.smithfam.us/?p=146 So, it’s been some time now since I’ve written.  Alas, fear not my faithful reader – I mean, readers! – I am still here.  In fact, I think I’ve resolved to use this blog as an opportunity to record insights I get during the day about whatever, though I expect much of it may be [...]]]> http://mr.smith.smithfam.us/2009/02/25/still-alive/feed/ 0 http://mr.smith.smithfam.us/2009/01/03/great-day/ http://mr.smith.smithfam.us/2009/01/03/great-day/#comments Sun, 04 Jan 2009 03:49:34 +0000 Mr. Smith http://mr.smith.smithfam.us/?p=141 What a great couple of days it’s been.  Mrs. Smith already hilighted how great yesterday was, so I’ll mention today only.  First off, the kids woke up happy.  Wahoo!  Yesterday when the kids got up, they decided they wanted some yogurt (oh, important plot element – Mrs. Smith and I were still in bed and [...]]]> http://mr.smith.smithfam.us/2009/01/03/great-day/feed/ 2 http://mr.smith.smithfam.us/2008/12/31/a-brand-new-year/ http://mr.smith.smithfam.us/2008/12/31/a-brand-new-year/#comments Thu, 01 Jan 2009 04:01:53 +0000 Mr. Smith http://mr.smith.smithfam.us/?p=139 Check out the blue widget on the side.  Mrs. Smith and I (together with the youth from our Ward) attended the celebration, “A Brand New Year” at the Conference Center.  It was awesome, and I’m pleased to include it for your perusal.]]> http://mr.smith.smithfam.us/2008/12/31/a-brand-new-year/feed/ 0 http://mr.smith.smithfam.us/2008/12/21/christmas-sunday/ http://mr.smith.smithfam.us/2008/12/21/christmas-sunday/#comments Mon, 22 Dec 2008 02:40:00 +0000 Mr. Smith http://mr.smith.smithfam.us/?p=135 This morning poor Doodle woke up sick.  Bummer.  Not sure what’s wrong – he doesn’t have a fever, hasn’t vomited, and doesn’t complain about any specific pains.  But he’s assuredly not his usual “chipper,” energetic 3yr-old.  He woke up a couple times during the night and needed assistance (as he stood at the top of [...]]]> http://mr.smith.smithfam.us/2008/12/21/christmas-sunday/feed/ 1
