In's and out's of my days

September 13, 2008 by D. Gardner Leave a Comment

Today I awoke early and began my day by watching a bit of news on the Internet to see how hurricane Ike was moving. It was slamming into the Texas coast near Galveston and Houston. The poor folks down there.
I am currently in Austin Texas and none of the effects of the Category 2 hurricane were felt in Austin. My sister-in-Law Jenny and here two daughters Haley and Avery. Have been living without power since 6AM this morning It’s now 8:30PM. We should be praying for them now. I guess a tree fell down in their yard. Daniel Anderson, her brother and I may head down next week-end to help clean up the tree.

I have been attempting to sell a couple of web site services over the past week. I have got some leads but haven’t closed any deals yet. I’ve got to work on my closings this week.

I talked to Amanda today after Paige’s soccer game. I guess the coach blamed Paige for something she didn’t do and Amanda was pretty upset about that. Emerson was also very demanding of Amanda’s attention during the game. I haven’t been home for almost three weeks now and that is taking it’s toll too on her state of mind. I think like us all when we have a bit of a bad day everything seems to look worse. On days like that hope and faith are tough.

Yesterday I swam 3600 meters before I started getting cramps in my feet and had to stop. I did feel a whole lot better than the swim I had on Wednesday of only 1500 meters. I believe it was because I got a good nights rest the night before.

5 x 50 Back/Breast
5 x 50 breast/free
500 Free
1 x 50-100-150-200-500-200-150-100-50
2 x 50-100-200-100-50
100 then I got cramps in my feet.

I think I’m getting in better shape now.

BYU – Kicks some butt on UCLA 59-0

September 13, 2008 by D. Gardner 1 Comment

Whoa, UCLA got embarrassed today while everything seem to fall into place for BYU and nothing seemed to go UCLA’s way.
It was a bunch of fun as a fan for BYU. My Brother-in-law Charles, I and Ben Turner, who had invited us over to his house. Kept saying things like, that would be great if BYU would just a get a stop here. It was like watching a fantasy game.

My 5 year-old son today said “Frank Sinatra is scary”. My wife asked “why?”, and he said “Because he has a green face.”

Virgin River Classic – Judge – freak finger injury

September 11, 2008 by D. Gardner 1 Comment

On July 10th 2008 I helped judge the 12 annual Virgin River Classic Skimboard Competition in St. George Utah.   During the competion,  Dillon Manwaring one of the competitors, who is 23, had the freakiest accident I have ever seen.  I was talking with him today and someone had a video camera on and got the whole thing. Now, a couple of months later he is still having a couple of issues.

Yeah, i need to go to the doctor and check on the status on my finger. its still bent and wont go straight. It doesnt bend all the way down either.

The accident is about 1:45 into the video is the accident, enjoy a bit of skim boarding until then. I’m the guy with the hat. I can’t believe how calm Dillion was during the whole ordeal.

Title of Liberty – Moroni the Hero

September 10, 2008 by D. Gardner Leave a Comment

One of my favorite Heroes is Captain Moroni. I like the description that is given of him

“Yea, verily, verily I say unto you, if all men had been, and were, and ever would be, like unto Moroni, behold, the very powers of hell would have been shaken forever; yea, the devil would never have power over the hearts of the children of men.” Alma 48 Verse 17

The more I study him the more I want to be like that man. He loved liberty, he love freedom, he loved his fellow men and he loved God. One of characteristics he posses, that I believe is the most noble, is his willingness to fight for what he believes. We all should be fighting for what we believe on a daily basis. We all need to hoist the Title of Liberty on our towers

In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children

So often I am willing to sit idly by while injustice is done, while our freedoms are being trampled and others mock what I hold to be sacred. We must fight on.
