just killing time on a friday afternoon.  my training today went well and i'm trying to unwind from the work week. 

i went to institute last night.  the attendance was just the right size… mainly people from my congregation.  i saw a couple of familiar faces.  the instructor is phenomenal… a really cool lady from what i can tell.  we went over the creation.  something i've heard over and over since i was a wee one but this lesson went on a whole different level and some of the comments from my peers were super insightful.  lots of discussion on why a proper understanding of the creation is important and why satan would want to confuse men about the origin of the earth and the life on it.  it's amazing how god showed his love for us so early on and how everything was already pointing towards christ.  it was just really neat to have a familiar topic discussed in a whole new way.  very inspirational to say the least. 

i don't have much slated for this weekend.  i'm picking bacon up after work.  i'm going to the dallas temple for part of tomorrow, and church on sunday, but that's all that is set in stone.  kinda nice. 

mom called and was upset because two of the puppies that we gave away a month or so ago (they were given away to the same place) had recently gotten really sick and died.  one of them was the one dad wanted to keep, so that's kinda sad. 

it's been super humid today.  i'm not a fan of the humid weather.  somebody really needs to do something about that.
