If you were wondering...
(Preview)
why I haven't been around that much.
I just spent all the time from Christmas Eve to the day after New Years Day with my family, which included 3 days in a cabin on some property my grandpa bought in the middle of nowhere.
I will also be starting another semester at the University of Utah next week...

Reflecting on the Holiday....
(Preview)
Something happened between 9:30 pm last night and 5 am this morning. Something horrible. Like a car slamming on its brakes at a red light, Christmas stopped. The moment the alarm went off it was like something had died. I could see it in my wife’s eyes as well as my sleepy eyed...

Happy Chrismahannakwanzika

When do you intervene?
(Preview)
So I'm sitting here letting the kids play happily... and I hear the following,
"Spin me around!"
"Do you want to throw up?"
"Sure... just spin me really fast."
At this point, do you interrupt the play of children or do you let nature take its course?

Book Recommendations

The semester will be over in two more weeks, and I'll have an entire month with no required reading. I'll be greedily devouring those books that have been on my waiting list.
About five years ago, while on weather hold at the Denver airport, I purchased and read "The Twilight of American Cultu...

Disciplining kids
(Preview)
Ray's comment really struck a chord with me. I have a wonderful son; he's helpful, he's smart, and he's a big help with his little brother. But he's only that way because we are willing to punish him, and we are willing to punish him more if he misbehaves more. Obviously there are limits. We don't engage i...

Scouting Program
(Preview)
Do you believe the church should ditch the Scouting Program?
Do you think it is a positive program for the church?
Does it help young men prepare for missionary service?
Does it just scar people, and consume lots of time in volunteer service that really doesn't matter?

Settlers of Cataan
(Preview)
Hey, anyone know anything about this game? I've heard the name and looked at basic descriptions of it... but don't know a thing about it.
How much does it cost? Where do you get it? Is it worth the money? Is it a good family game? Is it fun? How old do you need to be...

In the same spirit as the question(s) I placed concerning the Settlers of Cataan game, what do you all think of this game? I know nothing about it other than having seen it at Target and Glenn Beck advertises it on his show.
Anyone ever play it? What is it like? Is it worth the moolah...

A moral dilemma

Kohlberg's classic Heinz dilemma:
In Europe, a woman was near death from a special kind of cancer. There was one drug that the doctors thought might save her. It was a form of radium that a druggist in the same town had recently discovered. The drug was expensive to make, but the druggist was charging...

What's the hardest part of setting goals and self improvement for you? ANd WHY!?
If you know that such steps will make things better, what ways do you sabotage your own success? What are some strategies you use to succeed?
