There is this thing about life that slowly dawns on you and as you come to accept it there also comes along times when you realize the powerful impact of it.  I am thinking of the reality of our limited power.  There is so much that we just cannot do.  We live with it all of our lives and so it is natural.  We accept it and plan accordingly.  

Then comes a day or an hour when you understand all that you are missing because you 'had' to do something else and you realize just how powerless you are.  Time, place and circumstance isn't really an enemy, but it sure helps shape your life.  Case in point:  Saturday Shelli and Phil are here for a while so Hunter can interview 2 'old folks'.  The BYU pre-game is on and Phil sees Elder Porter live and in color from Atlanta.  But options about what you want to do and what you can do are dictated by circumstance.  'Nick' doesn't have his cell phone.  So you call who you can and they are able to see him too.  Then Sunday requires a split of grandparents to do what needs doing.  She deserves what she does and I do what I have to do.  Finally, this morning and yesterday, I surf and see the pictures and events of family that make me year for a time when time, place and circumstance don't have such power over me.  Think about it!
