March 31st: First Quarter M2B:) report

March 31, 2010 in Missions by michael
Didn’t leave the house all day.  Didn’t step outside.  Conducted all business either on my desktop computer or my iPhone.  Didn’t need to get to the store or stop by the post office.  Didn’t look in the mirror to make sure I was presentable in public.  Didn’t worry about being late for anything.  Didn’t need [...]

March 30th: Over the edge

March 30, 2010 in Missions by michael
Today I had a series of meetings, each of them were M2B:) moments.  One was with a friend about to embark on his own “mission” to make the world a better place.  I was lucky enough to hear about his plan and be asked for help.  I love when that happens.   Then I dropped off [...]

March 29th: Crying at Taco Time

March 30, 2010 in Missions by michael
I was talking to a good friend of mine yesterday and he mentioned that he’d given a talk in church a while back about adversity. Everything he said about it peaked my interest so I asked if he’d be willing to email me a copy of what he said and today I read his remarks.  [...]

March 28th: I’m here

March 28, 2010 in Missions by michael
This will be short.  I can’t give you the details right now – maybe later, but not now – there’s been some sadness in our family and the burden of it hit my wife during church.  We hadn’t been there that long and she needed me to take her home.  She was done. She needed [...]

March 27th: Deep Thoughts

March 28, 2010 in Missions by michael
Today I drove home from St. George.  It was beautiful.  Clear roads, sunny skies and lots to think about.  I was the only one in the car so I had control of what I listened to on the radio and what I played through the earbuds of my iPod. Of all the things I listened to, [...]

March 26th: The pull-over

March 27, 2010 in Missions by michael
I got pulled over by a cop at the end of a very, very long day.  I left the house at 5:30 this morning headed for St. George.  I was scheduled to be at an 11:00am rehearsal for the Nashville Tribute Band’s concert at Tuacahn tonight and for those of you who know me, 5:30 [...]

March 25th: A Triumph

March 25, 2010 in Missions by michael
Today I went to a ribbon cutting ceremony at the new Flagship Store for Deseret Book in downtown Salt Lake City.  The store really blew me away.  Looked great!! It was so successful at making me want to buy stuff while I was there I actually bought stuff while I was there.   I concluded [...]

March 24th: Cast Party

March 24, 2010 in Missions by michael
When our kids were at Wasatch High back in the 90’s, all the cast parties after the big theatrical productions were at our place.  We had plenty of room and a fire pit out back where we could make s’mores or roast hot dogs.   Good times, great memories. Well  today,  after an all too long [...]

March 23rd: New Stuff

March 23, 2010 in Missions by michael
I spent most of the day in Pleasant View, Utah.  And let me say, it IS a pleasant view there.  Jason Deere invited me to join him and his Nashville Tribute Band for a concert at Weber High tonight. Their regular piano player, Dan Truman, also plays keyboards for the great country band Diamond Rio [...]

March 22nd: Awkward

March 22, 2010 in Missions by michael
So this is a totally awkward moment.  When I started keeping track of my M2B:) moments January 1st I didn’t understand how to handle comments.   I was unaware until today that I needed to click an “approve” button or no one would see the comment but me.  I know this is lame, but it’s the [...]
