My, how my wife has changed.  Here she is today getting back from some errands for both her and me and dropping off a card for Zach's birthday and she tells me that she actually did some shopping for Christmas.  It's the 8th of September and she has started her Christmas shopping!  I hear that Colton got a present today too.  He went in for his100 mile check up and had his engine tuned.  I didn't talk to Shelli nor was I there (this time) but I can imagine good things.  I know that the truth of the matter is that it is still only the beginning of a long process, but I can dream, can't I?  I have spent a lot time thinking about how those 'experts' have described this new sense that Colton is now dealing with.  It is fascinating to me and I have tried to understand it.  I have likened it to learning about the spirit.  Whether it happens when one is older or has always been there it still has to be recognized and then realized.  Course it is something that I am still trying to do both with even at my age.  It seems that everything in this world tries to tell us that it isn't real.  But it is actually the most real.  And being real and the key to all understanding it isn't an easy thing to recognize or realize.  My experience watching Colton has helped me to understand it better.  I think that I will use that in my next priesthood lesson.
