My grandmother Maggie Burgon Alldredge has been on my mind a lot lately. Yesterday she would have been 100 years old if she were still with us. My brother Nick and I decided to have a family reunion to get the family together and celebrate her birthday. It was a lot of work but reallyContinueContinue reading “Maggie Burgon Alldredge”

What do we need to be happy?
I remember thinking at one point of how little I really needed to be happy in life. We lived in pretty humble circumstances, yet I was as happy,
Je ne serai pas baptisé.
Parfois, vous reconnaissez quand vous êtes témoin d’un miracle. C’était un moment miraculeux à Pau. Je pense que tout membre qui était là pendant ce temps se souviendra de lui comme rien de moins qu’un miracle.
I’m not getting baptized
Sometimes you recognize when you are witnessing a miracle. I knew that I was seeing a miracle first-hand. There was a very special feeling as all of this was happening. This was a miraculous time in Pau. The Spirit of God was so strong and the hand of the Lord was so obvious in the missionary work.
Lost in Sugar City, Idaho
Shortly after my wife and I got married, her grandmother passed away. Since my wife and her family were from Port Angeles, Washington, and we lived in Provo, Utah, I did not know her family very well. I had only met most of them once or twice and had not really met many of the extendedContinueContinue reading “Lost in Sugar City, Idaho”

Y Am I Here – BYU Football Video
We poke a little fun at a fictitious diehard BYU fan, Bob, who can’t grasp that his team is just not too good this year.
Million Dollar Bribe
Life is hard. Starting a business isn’t easy. In November 2007 I decided to quit a good-paying job that I hated, and take a crack again at starting another business. I’ve started several. Most have failed. I’ve been blessed and my company Professional Cable is still running almost 10 years later. We supply cables suchContinueContinue reading “Million Dollar Bribe”
By D Grace of God – from Scammer to Saint
My friend Ben is a good guy, but this story is truly amazing. I got to know Ben when he worked for Weber State. We were at a trade show in Madison, WI and a group of us from Utah decided to drive down to Nauvoo, IL after the trade show and visit the ChurchContinueContinue reading “By D Grace of God – from Scammer to Saint”
Bike Helmets in Tours, France
I served my mission before bike helmets were much of a thing. About half-way through my mission, we had a mandatory bike helmet rule and we were issued some very unfashionable bike helmets. So not only were the helmets not very flattering; big white and red helmets, but people were not used to seeing people wear bikeContinueContinue reading “Bike Helmets in Tours, France”
