Dear God,


Tomorrow I will be paying my tithing. I will find some time to quickly run to the box that holds the tithing envelopes before sacrament mtg (if I'm on time), quickly fill out the paper and check (probably during a speaker, so, that reduces my listening time, on top of the fact that I have a toddler), then put it in the diaper bag (hidden so that the toddler doesn't take it out to draw on or play with), then cross my fingers and say a prayer, hoping to remember to give it to a member of the bishopric when they drop off their kids in my nursery class- hoping that I will remember while I am holding 2 toddlers in my arms in heels and a dress- one crying for her mama, the other asking repeatedly to read him a book- 2 toddlers who I love so much, but make it difficult to remember to hand the bishop my tithing envelope when he steps in to drop off his own son, because I love his son so much also and want to console him as well when the tears start flowing. All of these things greatly reduce the odds of that tithing envelope coming in for a landing ever so smoothly into the hand of the Bishop. Yes, I could do other things, make preparations ahead of time. But truth be told, (and I'm being authentic here) the aforementioned scenario is the typical scene, no matter how much I try to do otherwise. It doesn't last.
So what I'm really asking for is...could you make it so we can pay tithing online? It would make it so much easier to be obedient.....pretty please?

Ni hao!

It's Olympics time again. And I love it. I relish watching the Olympics and cheering for our athletes. My favorites in the summer games? Gymnastics, soccer, diving, swimming, and here it comes... wrestling. Yep. I love wrestling. Go ahead. Make fun of me...but then I'll take you down.
And I can, you know. But don't worry, I'll let go as soon as you are calm... or you tap out...but that's another sport.
