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.
My Family

How did I do this week? May 29, 2024
The kids asked me what the Holy Ghost feels like. I talked to them about two experiences I had this week when I felt the Holy Ghost and what if felt like to me. It went really well for once.
Whoever Takes the Son Gets It All
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.

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’?”
