Yes, I intentionally left the name of this entry the name of the picture.

Zoe and I were just hanging out since she wouldn't fall asleep tonight, she cried for an hour, like real whimpering cried. The kind where you might think something is wrong. I sit here typing on my phone and amazingly the glow of the phone has here sitting calmly rubbing her eyes, but not really falling asleep. I fed her early, well 6:30-ish after getting the kids started with dinner, with hopes she would be tired enough to fall asleep the rest of night. These hopes were dashed on the rocks of reality.

So here I sit...well I guess this isn't penning my thoughts exactly but qwertying my thoughts for the day.

Let's hope she sleeps throught the night.

Peter out...

Who loves me? I do...

Thanks to the folks over at cameroid.com I was able to take this killer picture of me and myself. I really like me.

 

Try it out, we had a good time playing around and, honestly what better way to say I love you..to yourself.

 

PDizzy out…

 

P.S. – Ben has set the example of keeping a pretty good little journal out on the blog-o-sphere, I might as well follow his lead.

 

Ok, the G1 is still cool

So I haven't blogged in quite awhile and I just noticed that the last posts back-to-back are about the phones. Let me explain...

So the G1 is an awesome phone and has a killa' web browser. On the G2 (EDGE) network the internet was screaming fast (as opposed to the G3 that kills your battery). So why then, why did I go back to the black?

I need better email support, the G1 was not built for email, well not the kind of email service that the BlackBerry delivers. I need to get email all the time and need better battery life, BlackBerry is the only thing that can deliver - hands down. The reality is I hate being required to plug the phone in for charging in the middle of the day and I get that away with that with the BB.

I need a phone for two things only, phone and email. I don't need a million apps that really don't do anything.

Well, hope that clears things up. Again, if interested I have a G1 with little use on it if you are interested.

P.S. I am blogging from this BB.

Back on Black

So here I am posting by email after a long spell away. Thought I would post a pic from the BlackBerry that I went back to after using the T-Mobile G1 for awhile. I am selling it by the way if anyone is interested.

Enjoy...

Why I chose the G1

So I am the proud new owner of the T-Mobile G1. Now I don't often use the word proud to describe ownership of things but having looked at an iPhone and now handling this I am very happy with how it performs and extremely fast it is. I am actuallty trying to post from the phone and it is working quite well.

Travellers in the wilderness

We have an outstanding challenge to read the Book of Mormon before our next Stake Conference so I have decided to make the effort to take on the challenge. I am currently listening to Chapter 16 of the 1st Book of Nephi. The summary of the chapter notes that "The Liahona guides their course in the wilderness." I had a sudden sense that we are all living in the spiritual wilderness. I do feel a great sense of peace though as I read that we are promised that if we follow the directions and guidance that we receive from "time to time" we will be protected as we travel through this wilderness. My mind is turned to those of our Heavenly Father's children that may be wandering. Would we not stop to help a stranger if this was a literal wilderness? If they were stranded, possibly at risk of being lost for good? Would we not extend a helping hand? Imagine if you will someone lost and upon being found rejecting or be offended that you would even consider offering a helping hand, it makes reason stare.

What great comfort this sweet sentence gives, He lives. With gratitude I take the guidance and direction offered and move forward with strength and resolve and might I extend a hand to the travelers I find on my way as I have been extended a hand from Him.

Spiritual Thought for Tuesday

"And thus we can behold how false, and also the unsteadiness of the hearts of the children of men; yea, we can see that the Lord in his great infinite goodness doth bless and ^aprosper those who put their ^btrust in him."

So I am out on the road this week, in Texas, and took the time to get up early this morning to read some scripture. I came across this verse this morning and it reminded me of the goodness I have received in life. I have so many things that bring me peace and happiness in my life and I believe that is comes in believing there is a God. I believe he is our Father and that he has given a plan, a template, a pattern of living that will give us happiness and peace in our life if we follow it and apply it. The most beautiful part about it is the fact that it is so simple, don't be selfish. Look for others, put their needs first over your own. I am not perfect at this and often have to be reminded, much like a small child I guess in that respect, but I find when I do that I go to bed happy and at peace.

I have read that the peace given those that follow the pattern of selflessness will be blessed with peace, the greatest of all gifts.
