This is the lady we were never able to teach long ago. 3 months ago. Anyhow, she’s interesting. She couldn’t have children and drank a lot, smoked a lot, and did a lot of cocaine.

Chris Priddis
Who is Chris Priddis? That is my father. I didn’t intend to write about him today, but circumstances seemed to lead to it. I’ll get back to him in a minute.
1 Maccabees
I’m not going to write much about this. I feel like I’m reading JR Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. I’m having a super hard time getting into it. Honestly, it makes me think of D&C 91 where the spirit will tell you what is truth. When I read Esdras, even though there were a small handful of things that were meh.
