I have a lot of different emotions going on inside tonight.  Just a few minutes ago I heard on the news about the Brandon Davies situation at BYU.  That made me feel sick.  I felt badly for him and I felt something of the major let down of his team and the whole BYU scene.  The news had interviews of some students and I was impressed by their comments.  Most said that the honor code is such a part of the picture and if he blew it there he has to deal with the consequences.  He isn't the first 'star' to mess up and he won't be the last.  But I really do feel sick about how this shatters such a big dream that was taking shape.  We will see what impact it will have on things as they move forward.     WOW!!!

I have also been emotionally involved with Sharon's pre-trial hearing.  I see that as much more positive, but it also has a lot to play out in the weeks and months to come.  My faith is really, really strong that Sharon, Linzi and Zac will endure this just fine. 


 My own day has been a roller coaster for me too.  I thought 'stars' and it ended up less then 'trees' and almost 'mud'.  But tomorrow is another day and all I can do is the work that I have control over.  My faith is still intact.  It's just that I am slow to understand the big picture.  I do know that there is really nothing that is really important that can be taken from me.  Life may be somewhat uncomfortable, but it will all work out.

One of my major challenges today was that my printer stopped working.  After several frustrating moments an answer to my prayers showed up in the form of Robert whom I sent off with my credit card to get me a new printer.  He obliged me and got me back to where I needed to be. 

Then I found out that my dmv service which has been down for over a week is gone permanently.   I hope to be able to find a way to replace it, but I really don't know if that will be possible.  Life goes on and change is inevitable.  For sure I will have a lot to review and ponder on tonight and tomorrow.

  1. We live in a messed up world. I saw an interview tonight with an actor who has a God complex. We give these celebrities and basketball players a feeling a importance and instead of being hunble about it, they become prideful and become stupid. All I can think is that I don't want these people to be my kids heros. The BYU thing is a little different. Here are men who play for a team where they have to live standards. I applaud BYU for sticking to their honor code even though it might mean that their team will lose. That is when we get the most tested. Still doing what is right when we have something to lose. Sorry to feel that you felt a little down. I hope that you are feeling better when you read this.
