I love America. I am patriotic to the core. I am fully aware of how blessed I am to be born an American. But, I also realize, that America is run by people. And, America is only as good and as moral as its citizens and leaders.

How did I do this week? June 27, 2024
So, how did I do this week? Is just me analyzing my life. Am I doing the things I should be? Am I living the gospel? Am I having spiritual experiences? Am I trying to improve myself? Am I trying to be a disciple of Jesus Christ? If I am doing those things, I am more than likely on the right path.

A New Day – Hip Surgery
The Stryker Mako rep came out and talked to me about how the procedure works. They take the CT scan and in a sense overlay it on my skeletal system. When they start the procedure they use a sensor of some type to pinpoint locations so the robot and skeletal system are perfectly aligned.
The Day After – Hip Surgery
I really don’t know. I woke up easily and felt quite well. I took all the embarrassing situations like a champ. They had me up and walking about an hour after surgery. And, I left the hospital about six hours after surgery. I was there a total of about 12 hours from arrival to leaving.

NYNYS Mission December 19-27, 1996
Man, was I that bad? Did I really walk everyone to death? I know I walked a lot. I only had a car for 2 months of my mission and never had a bike. I had to walk everywhere. Most of the time, I couldn’t keep up with my companions because they were taller and their legs were longer than mine. The likelihood is that my first companions instilled in me the work ethic of hustling. Personally, I always felt I was doing my best to follow the spirit. To put my whole heart, might, mind, and strength into the work. But periodically I had really difficult companions. Or I guess, I was really difficult and couldn’t recognize it.
Adoption
I laid my hands upon his head and gave him the Holy Ghost, then proceeded to pronounce a priesthood blessing upon him. As I did so, I was filled with the most glorious and overwhelming feeling. It washed over me like a tidal wave. I had made a choice 7 years earlier to be his father and I did it as a choice, as an act of faith that I was doing the right thing. I did it without being acted upon. Now, all of a sudden, like a flood this feeling washed over me and the Holy Ghost testified that he was my child and he was supposed to be a part of our family. This was so unexpected.
O That I Were An Angel
If I were an Angel I would rise up and declare there is a God in heaven. I would tell them he lives and we are his children, his creations. We were created in his image. The God of heaven and earth desires for us to Follow Him; repent, be baptized, and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Walk no more in darkness and sin. He loves you and He desires to heal you.
