Years ago, there was a very wealthy man who, with his devoted young son, shared a passion for art collecting. Together they traveled around the world, adding only the finest art treasures to their collection. Priceless works by Picasso, Van Gogh, Monet and many others adorned the walls of the family estate. The widowed, elder man looked on with satisfaction as his only child became an experienced art collector. The son’s trained eye and sharp business mind caused his father to beam with pride as they dealt with art collectors around the world.

The Smartest People in the World are Those Who Never Scroll Through Social Media
I’m addicted to scrolling through social media. I need to have more control over what I consume.
Review – Pastor Jeff and Hello Saints – Pastor Explores RACE in LDS History with Conlon Bonner
I couldn’t help but be amazed at how beautiful a soul Brother Conlon Bonner is. Wow, what an amazing man. It is worth watching just to hear Colon’s testimony and life story.
Pink Floyd
I have a favorite band of all time. It’s Pink Floyd. I believe I have spoken of them in the past. They are a love that I have carried with me from my past. Most bands I have loved in the past, I have been able to let go of. Pink Floyd on the other hand is beloved by many and is continually played here, there, and everywhere. I can’t exactly leave or turn off every setting. As a result, I listen occasionally.
Life Lessons
“Son, protect the private times of your life…You know, those times when you’re the only one around and no one else knows what you’re doing? Those times when you think, ‘Whatever I do now doesn’t affect anyone else, only me’?”
How did I do this week? April 1, 2024
It’s been rough. But… “I still have me arms!”
A Dark Tunnel
I was welcomed into a new world of mental health this week.
Good Dad or Bad Dad
Is spending 10-15 minutes with them the worst thing in the world? There could be a quality moment in there. At a minimum, they may feel their dad loves them enough to care about what they care about.
Brad Wilcox
My two sons are adopted. They are both great boys, but both have their individual challenges. For my oldest son, it was clear pretty early that school was going to be difficult. He was born with an extra measure of energy. So much so he struggled to make it through a single school day. It became clear that the traditional school setting was not for him. When he was in about 3rd grade, he was placed in a special program in School District for all the kids who couldn’t assimilate to traditional learning.
Forgiveness
I would like to take a moment to talk about forgiveness.
My niece is pregnant!
Pregnancies are life events that fill us with joy. They are like gifts sent down from God. Unfortunately, they are not looked at that way by the world when they are inconvenient or unplanned. I’m going to do my best to tread lightly as I talk about this.
