Talkin

Kristin and I were asked to talk in Church today. It was on the blessings of the Book of Mormon. I was actually happy to talk about this subject as I completely beleive there are blessings if we read. My talks was based on the following equation:

Reading the Book of Mormon = Good things happening

Pretty simple. Does not mean trials or temptations go away....just you are more prepared to overcome these if you are actively reading the Book of Mormon. I thought Kristin did well for stressing all week and pulling it together late last night. We both had to overcome the procrastination demons. It was fun though working with her as we put our talks together. Also fun working w/ the Spirit and understanding the will of our Father in heaven and what he wanted us to speak about. I look forward to next weekend as it is Conference weekend. Always good to get recharged.

I hit the road only 2x last week. Thursday I did my night rider impression and took to the local streets here for some interval training. The weather is starting to get nicer and there is always a breeze coming down from the San Tan Mountains behind our home. Saturday I was going to ride 55 with a group training for the Tour. I woke up at 4:30am and just sat on the end of my bed. We stayed up late the night before and watched "Run Fat Boy Run" which I had seen on the plane and it was good even the second time. Anyway, Kristin for the first time ever told me to lay back down cause she knew that I was out of it. Good thing. I woke back up at 6AM and did my local ride here to Oldberg and back....total of 40 miles. Not too bad time either. Later that morning we went to Eryn's soccer game where she scored another goal. She LOVES soccer which has me pretty pumped. Afterwards we headed off to a friends B-Day party. By then, I was sick cause I had not eaten much after my ride and I was starving. We had pizza and I think I had almost a full pizza. I felt bad....but I could not stop. I wonder if others notice my multiple trips to the pizza table. Oh well...it was a matter of life or death and you gotta do what you gotta do.

After that we had 2 more B-day parties and I got new tires on the car. good times at Big-O. But they did have left over Dog-nuts and I downed a couple of those as well. Also, stopped off at my favorite DQ..(the one on Gilbert road) to pick up a banana shake. The reason that is my favorite is because they still use the real banana sauce in their shakes where newer DQ's that are franchised out go with the artificial cheap stuff. The DQ by the temple is also still old school and is still on my must see list.

Well, that is all i got for now. Good week in all. This week i hope to get out 2-3 times with another good Sat ride. Also trying to bid on some Rudy Project sunglasses on ebay. I have lost out already on 4 auctions....good for ebay....bad for me.
