Shelli was on the phone with Sheila and wanted to share some news. When she told me I guess that I didn't sound excited. But I googled Justin Osmond and quickly learned that she had had an opportunity to meet someone who not only is a celebrity, but someone making good waves in the deaf community. I am suffering from a touch of jealousy right now. I know that's silly, but this is such good news for Shelli and Colton and all of us, and I wish that I had something to do with it. I will defeat my 'green' thoughts and just enjoy this blessing as it happens, and be grateful just for it and not care that I have nothing to do with it. It reminds me of some thoughts and feelings from Saturday night at John Winder's party. I spent some time talking with Clyde Williams. He has a new job in the church office building, but wishes that he could still be teaching. He said that each week he meets with the First Presidency, the Quorum of the Twelve and the Seven Presidents of the Seventy. Wow, green thoughts! You'd think that I'd be better then that. But worldly celebrity doesn't matter at all to me, but that, well, suffice it to say that I dream about even meeting one of 'them' let alone working with them. Oh well, so Shelli, I am thrilled for you. It can only be good and I am happy for you (and for Colton). And who knows, my life isn't over with yet. And even when it is over I do expect to be hanging around with some pretty special people and hopefully feeling right at home.
