I sat down to write.  And 'my song' came on my link.  You know: "Think not when you gather to Zion".  It is my life's theme song.  I put in a lot of effort several months ago to memorize it and it has added to me numerous times since that effort.  I recommend it to all of you.  You can look it up for yourself or I will be glad to sing (give) it to you.  It has the answers to the whole range of questions that pester us.  It's truths have really added to my repertoire and I find it coming to my aid often.  

My last two evening have been busy with family duties.  Wednesday was Colton's birthday get-together and last night was a dance recital for Linzi.  Both events brought me warm fuzzies   and considerable ponderings about what is important in my own private world of concern.  Today is Sherri's birthday.  It adds to both.  We talked about that last night.  43 !!  Boy, somebody is getting older!

 Add all of that to my serious preparation for my lesson this coming Sunday and I am deep in thought most of the day.  Considering all of this serious gospel/family stuff I can only be astonished at my (our) life situation.  I find myself dealing with the downturn of my physicality while at the same time the upturn of my spirituality.  It is an interesting conundrum.   Can't change it so I just accept it and work it out the best I can.  But I am finding that it is actually a pretty exciting stage for me.  I still feel that there is something more to be discovered and the fact that I know not what bothers me, but the journey is becoming quite intriguing for me.  And mostly because I am realizing in a most amazing way that I do not travel alone, but have all of you as companions, and that makes it all the more special and intriguing for  me.
