A Great Start of the Week

A pleasant surprise to get a visit from my youngest sister, Linda, Nik,her husband and daughter, Mina. While I was visiting at Hank's Lori mentioned they were guesting Linda and her family for dinner.

They were up here to see one of their daughter's friends at BYU. Perfect timing. We had a wonderful visit. It was such a delight to get to be with them and feel of their goodness. We talked about our family ties and the talents their children have.

I am so grateful to have been able to see them, and will have them over to have dinner with some of the rest of the family and grandchildren. The heavens are pleased.

Steven R Covey Passes Away

This is a quote written in Bro Covey's obituary.

"Throughout his life, on most mornings, he would arise early, go to a place where he could be alone, and he would pray, meditate, and study the scriptures. This daily private victory, as he coined it, became the source of his security, guidance, wisdom, and power and he often told us kids that "if you will spend twenty minutes each day with the Savior of the world in private worship, you will spend eternity in his presence."

I am so glad I got over my "attitude" about Steven Covey. I listened to others and judged him unfairly without knowing his truth worth.

I have worked on being careful to form my own opinions and be Christ-like in understanding others.
