If I had a Million Dollars

Fairly often I think about what I would do if I had a million dollars. That turns into the question - What would I do if I never had to worry about money again in my life? - My answer is very different than most people I ask about this. Trying to get away from this train of thought was not helped when I received the Fiddler on the Roof soundtrack for Christmas. Last week an email made it past the spam blockers, and it sounded like a scam. I decided that if it was real I shouldn't pass it up. It stated that I was a winner of an MS-Word lottery for 1.9M dollars. I decided to set up a bank account with only one dollar in it so they could not steal more than a dollar from me. Then my mind started wondering again - What would I do with the money if I had 1.9M dollars? First, I know that the government would take about 28% or more. So, I would be left with a little more than a million dollars. I googled to find out what the internet suggested for lottery winners of more than $50,00...

Seven of the Month - June 2010

I found this set of seven in my scripture reading this morning: 3 Nephi 5:14 1 And it hath become expedient that I 2   according to the will of God 3     that the prayers of those who have gone hence 4       who were the holy ones 5     should be fulfilled 6   according to their faith 7 should write a record of these things which have been done. I almost didn't see it because of the faulty punctuation but here it is. I noticed that 1 and 7 make the basic sentence. Also, 3 and 5 connect. That is todays seven.
