I’m such a lucky duck. Both my AC and Dishwasher broke down on the same day. Happy Pioneer Day!
Personal History
I’m going to categorize my life history here.
NYNYS Mission January 8-13, 1997
Wow, what a day, we were supposed to have like 10 investigators at church. Only had 4 come. But we had 15 from our zone. After church, we went to go and see one of our investigators who said they would like to be baptized.
Mormons believe they get to make their own planet
“Mormons believe they get to make their own planet.” When I heard those words come out of my co-worker’s mouth today, I had to interject. I said, no. That isn’t exactly what we believe. I don’t think anyone’s sitting around saying they get to build their very own planet. To […]
How did I do this week? July 6, 2024
Well, it feels like I am healing. I can walk again. I can lift my leg again. I am not in excruciating pain anymore. I must say modern medicine is a miracle. I thank God I was able to have this surgery done. Otherwise, at some point, I would have ended up like the beggar at the pool of Bethesda.

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.
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.

This was so unexpected.
It’s a Work Party… Or is it.
Off in the distance, I saw what looked to be the rowdiest people approaching the same lawn where we were sitting. They were acting rowdy; loud, obnoxious, tattoos, swearing, clearly not matching the crowd or the vibe at the park that day. My first thought was oh please, for the love of all that is holy, don’t sit by us.
Road Rage and Suicide
I recently learned a friend had committed suicide. I had unknowingly road raged this friend many years.
