Letter from Dad
Dear Brent: Happy New Year! I hope you find joy in the coming year in your family, your work, and your church assignments. President Nelson has spoken of joy several times in the last few years and while I don’t fully understand what he means, I know we can find joy in our daily activities…

Sunday Thoughts
1️⃣ One year ago, my Grandpa Finlayson passed away. It was quite sudden. On Memorial Day he went to a church breakfast, came home to get ready to go shopping for a new car, got in the shower and collapsed. I miss him. 2️⃣ Tami has been called as our wards’ Primary President. For those…

What The Nef: Name our House
I have always coveted my aunt and uncles creativity, they are completely awesome — which is beside the point, but they named their domicile “Ravings”.

My (Brent’s) Job
Most of the people that read this blog are Tami-fans. I’m sorry, this post is not for you. For those that know what I do (you would be the Brent-ites), you don’t really know what I do. This article actually explains the process and the community that I work in, if not the software product…
