Reluctant Sower from Fall/Winter 2008

I mentioned this feeling to a friend and she said, “Well, you wouldn’t want him to not go.” Of course, she is right. I’ve dreamt about Luke serving a mission since the day he was born.

Seriously, Folks…

OK, no kidding. Words that describe me typically do not include anything involving graveness or solemnity. I am not, by most barometers, a serious person.

Raw

I cried in church yesterday. I hate crying in public, especially over something stupid.

The beginning from the end

Want people (e.g., Segullah editors) to read your stuff?
Want them to walk away saying “wow”?
Two words: beginning, ending.

While running errands the other day I stopped in on a friend. Here are three things that make me envious of this friend:
1. New house with rich colored walls.
2. The cutest nursery I have ever seen.
3. Three gorgeous (and I am not just saying this) children
So I am getting the tour of this home and [...]

So have you ever wanted ”“ I mean really, really, wanted ”“ to go scrub someone else’s toilets? Has it ever been the purest desire of your heart to do someone else’s dishes?
