Well, I'm regrouping and thought sharing some of my resolutions here would maybe help to steel my resolve (besides, one of my resolutions was to do a blog post at least weekly...two birds with one stone).
A few of my resolutions, by category:
- Physical
Run the 4th of July 5K in Grantsville (and humiliate all of my younger brothers and children)
- Mental
- Spiritual
Read all of the Old Testament selections from the Sunday School student manual
100% Home Teaching
Spend at least two hours a week on my Sunday School lesson (I feel like this should be more, but don't know where to find the extra time. You're right, I could give up Idol).
- Social
Organize a get-together with old friends (these are friends I haven't seen for some time, not friends that are advanced in age)
Send out a Christmas letter (Thanks to Jeanell, we do pretty well at sending Christmas cards, but I'd like to use that opportunity to bring people up to speed on what we're up to).
A last thing I'd like to improve on is becoming more involved or at least aware of politics and the important issues facing our country. If anyone has good recommendations of websites, blogs, books, etc., please post as comments.

Hi Richard. I found your blog via the blog Jeanell posts on your family, which is very cute by the way. So in response to your request, NPR is my main source of political intel gathering. Often it airs direct from the Senate floor and the like. I love it, but it's certainly not exhaustive. Lastly, my husband enjoys Foreign Affairs, and the Economist, magaizines. Both deal with international topics but it's all affects the home front. Best wishes on your goals. Cheers old friend.
