16 May 2023……and now for something completely different, almost

 

So I am getting the feeling I need to do my writing different. That said I will give you an update about how I am doing with some of my other goals and stuff. 


Make bread every week. 

     I had my wife help make bread last night. It is awesome to have fresh homemade bread. Anything store bought pales in comparison.


Floss my teeth daily. 

     For the most part I’m doing well. I hope to have my teeth for years still. 


          

 Grow chilli peppers and trees

      Everything has been doing well. We have had lots of rain. That is good. 

        

Exercise at least every other day. Spend time out of my wheelchair.

      So people know, for me standing up is exercising. Also if I’m standing I’m not in my chair. I always have had grandiose plans. K.I.S.S.

          

          

Help Hildete study English, at least one hour every day. Help her learn enough English so she can get a job as she would like and so she can go to the nail salon by herself. 

     This is hard for me because I get the impression Hildete doesn’t want me to help. I am ready to help if she wants. Granted, I get sucked in by my own stuff sometimes, so, I don’t know. 

         

Work on money daily at least five minutes; budgeting, planning, or accounting, where did the money go, daily and make sure I am saving. Learn to be a good Jew, about money. 

     Working on money seems to be a favorite hobby of mine. 

If anyone knows the Dave Ramsey teaching money management, I highly recommend it. Also, the Rabbi Lapin, information is very good.  God wants everyone to be rich. That way we can all help each other better. In a slightly related subject. I had some rolls of quarters and rolls of dollar coins. They were just in a paper box. They went missing. The problem is I didn’t secure them by locking them up. I can be upset because someone took them, but ultimately it was my responsibility to secure them properly. Tough lesson. 


Avoid Television as much as possible, listen to audio books, or spend time writing.

    Television has a terrible hold on me. 

        

Learn poker. Several different games and help my wife and children learn it. 

      I want us to play more. Still it can be hard sometimes. 

    

Study gospel topics, Book of Mormon, General conference, Old Testament, New Testament, Doctrine & Covenants.

          Reading general conference talks is easy. Other stuff gives me more trouble. Still, I download an app with several versions of the Bible. I thought that I would look at and read the Jewish version of the Old Testament. Jesus and all the original apostles were Jews and were taught in the Jewish ways and traditions. Going with that thought, to come closer to the understanding of the Savior, the writing of everything leading up to His time will help. 



So I will only be posting some of my goals here monthly, or so. I think I need to work on other things that I can post here. Most people probably don’t care about all of the details of my life, so that will be less frequent.
