Pathway Experiences

I made a commitment to improve my personal appearance.  I have managed to barely keep up with and improve my previous rhythm of shaving my beard and keeping on top of my laundry (so I can choose my clothing rather than pick what's left).  I seem to have failed to reach the last goal of increasing the frequency of my haircuts. I am not terribly disappointed in myself, because I did improve in the areas I mentioned and I really do have a terrible schedule to deal with and I don't get enough sleep as it is now.  Why be hard on myself for not adding more to my busy days?  Anyway, My dad and I worked on a project to add legs to my desk.  This project has been on the list to do for many months, maybe multiple years now.  It was really nice for us to finally get united in doing it together, and while managing my appearance has help this to happen, it probably would have hindered it if I was out getting a haircut this week instead.  I guess I have to get a h...

Following this study, I wish to express that I was quite surprised that the most prominent places called Zion were cities that are not known to the general world for places of prophesy and great contrast with worshipers of our time.  Most p...

I made a goal to make a more permanent improvement to the public appearance.  Unfortunately, I have only improved by about 10% to 30% of what I am capable of.  for the next week, I need to include a haircut and to shave my beard more than once per week.  The rest should be obvious to me.
