Truck Look

I have that "truck" look. You know that feeling when you're hanging onto the back of a moving pick-up truck and you step down every fifteen feet or so, so it kind of feels like you're flying? And you've got to hang on because, well, you've just got to.

I think everyone feels like that every once in a while. Like when life keeps moving so quickly and no matter how bad you want to slow down, things just keep coming up and the truck keeps a steady speed of much-too-fast, so you hang on tighter and do what you've got to do, stepping down every fifteen feet or so.

My truck has been driving fast this whole month of March. By the end of this month, I'll have spoken 14 times in three states and taught 11 seminary classes. I just have a few talks left, a plane ride, and a couple classes and then - on to APRIL!

My best moments in March so far are as follows:
  1. Making 500 elementary school kids be dead silent.
  2. Getting a great note right after a talk. Now we're email buddies.
  3. Getting a hand-made card from some YW in WY (ha! YW is WY backwards!).
  4. Having a YM hug me three times with tears.
  5. Having a lady hug me so tight after a talk that I couldn't breathe.
Things like this make hanging onto the back of the truck worth it :)

  1. It's because you are so fabulous! I cannot tell you how many women keep telling me how much you changed their life that night. Knowing some of their problems firsthand, I can say that your message was exactly what they needed. So... keep on truckin!
