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.
Protect the Private Times of Your Life – Lamp
“Protect the private times of your life,” he said. “You know those moments of your life when you think, ‘There’s no one else around, nobody else knows what I’m doing, and nothing that I’m going to do during this moment will have any negative effect on anyone else’? You know those times?”
Personally Spiritual
Being worthy to enter Zion is personal. You either lived worthy, or you didn’t. You either followed Christ, or you didn’t. You either repented, or you didn’t. In the private times of your life, you are either spiritual or you are not. You either know how to listen to and feel the holy ghost or you don’t.

Esdras Eagle and Joe Biden
I think it is clear, the second will disappear more quickly than the first. In other words, Biden will not last until January 20, 2025. He will need to be replaced before the transition of power.
The Dark Tunnel and Healing
When this mental health journey started, I wrote a post titled “A Dark Tunnel”. I had never been there before. As I walked up to this tunnel, I had the feeling to stop and take a photo. It was almost as though the Holy Ghost was telling me that this particular tunnel was significant. The strange thing is that it’s just an ordinary tunnel that goes under a road. There is nothing special about it.
It Is Never Easy
It isn’t up to someone else to decide what I need to do to return to God, it is up to me. It is my path that I walk with God and the Holy Ghost. To walk that path more completely and to have that inspiration more completely, what do I need to do?

Weight of the World
My poor wife had to listen to me unload yesterday afternoon. I think I spent 30 minutes just spewing everything that was troubling me in my life on her. It was kind of like praying to my wife. She sat and listened as I unloaded. She was kind and understanding. Then we got up and made dinner.
