As all of you know it is not a good thing for me to have too much time to think about things cause I get too many ideas flowing. I just sent an e-mail to all and am following thru by putting the challenge I made in the e-mail here for all to comment on.
Will each of you committ to take a turn reading and putting your thoughts on the blog from the April conference talks?
Will each of you take the challenge to each week make a few comments on what was posted by a family member so that each week each of us have the opportunity to put our thoughts about the talk for the week on the blog. I am hoping that this way each of us get the opportunity to be involved and grow and to internalize what the Lord has sent us through his servants.
It is important that you do this as a family. That means that husbands and wifes will sit down and talk together and then make comments. Jana and Margaret and I will need to do the same. Obviously the idea is to keep the gospel and its importance as an active part of our being here in mortality.
Here comes the too much time on my hands part. I have wanted to for a long time do something together as a family with family history. After reading Jeff's post and hearing him bear his testimony a few weeks ago I thought that I would throw this idea out for some input as well. I think it would be fun to work towards working on some family names and then arrange a time to go to a temple together as a family and do the work for those names. I know that this will be a lot of work and will take a ton of coordination to make it happen. Please let me hear from each of you on this matter also.
Ok dad is thru for the time being. Oh how I love each one of you and how I pray for your happiness now and forever. Share my love for each of the grandchildren and feel free to give them each a big love and kiss from grandpa.
God bless, dad

Thanks Dad for all your efforts. I am not sure how to comment on the conference talks. We have tried similar things as a family in the past and I don't remember them going too well. I guess I like the idea of one family doing a talk each week so we are only in charge around once a month. I like the idea of that family doing a, Let me emphasize, SHORT summary of the talk and sharing their feelings or ideas or stories of ways it has effected their life and then the rest of us being able to comment as well or share some feelings on the topic. I got the feeling that then it was kind of a requirement for the rest of us to comment on it as well and I don't really like that. If you have strong feelings or examples please share if not I would like to just read what is there and take from it what I can use and be done. I don't always have special feelings I want to share on all topics. I thought it was great to hear about Jeff's experince with temple work last week and found it motivating for me to try harder and also the ideas about better fasting. I hope I take something from it and do better but I don't have anything to add that I feel is going benefit anyone at this time.
On the idea of doing geneology, I have always had strong feelings about doing that work and don't really know where to start and so I never do anything and think that would be a very neat thing to do as a family. Whoever knows where to get started on that please let me in because I would love to help find names.
Love ya all,
Rebecca
