College Daze????

I have really begun to think about my kids college education and where they should go. And the costs. But I beleive in a college education for all my kids and hopefully someday myself.

Perfectly Precoius, Pilgrims!

But wait there are more to add to the list; George Soule, Frances Cooke, Henry Sampson.

I am really grateful to these families and individuals who sacrificed so much. I glean strength from their examples and I love to know that they are there on the other side as my kindred, wow!
I have been working on SugarBear's family for a few years and have been frustrated in my efforts. It seems futile but....I know that there are those of his kindred who seek to be known. Hopefully I can tune in enough to figure it out.

Mayflower

I started reading "Mayflower" this week and am so amazed by the story of those who came across the sea in 1620. I am even more amazed to find that I am a direct descendant of 9 passengers on the Mayflower:

John Alden

William Mullins

Alice Mullins

Priscilla Mullins

John Tilley

Joan Tilley

Elizabeth Tilley

John Howland

Peter Brown

Happy to be here!

This is my attempt to keep a journal...wish me luck. No, really.

We here in the Morris house hold have challenged ourselves to, among other things, keep a journal. We have called this venture "The Morris Miracle".

The goal is to record the miracles that take place when we make a true effort to live and love each other.

Here are our daily goals:

Morning Prayer

Scripture Study

Good Turn

Write in our journals

Evening Prayer

Followed by our weekly goals:

Pay Tithing

Pay Fast Offerings

Attend the Temple

Attend our Meetings

Family Home Evening

Some of my personal goals are:

Keep a budget

Exercise daily

Smile

Laugh daily

Does this count as a journal???

Sure hope so.

We made a challenge as a family to keep a journal....so here I am!
