I hope everyone had a good holiday. From my point of view, it was very strange (but good). For dinner, it was just my wife & me. Then we had a 2 hr zoom visit with out 3 children & their families plus my nephew & his family. It was surprisingly fun. Most of the time we talked about holidays past wit...

Thank you SamBee

I believe we are a harder judge of ourselves than the judgement that comes from others. (is "harder" a word?)
It is so easy to feel guilty or that we don't measure up to other people in our circle of friends & relatives.

Meetings like you described can go either good or bad. Yours was a good meeting. But, you knew that already.

I can't imagine what it must be like for these young men. IMO it would be more merciful to send them home & be locked down
with family.

I occasionally watch "born again" religious programs on tv. It takes about 10 min max before I have to change to a different station. It is interesting how they can tie the us elections to the "end of days" & the 2nd coming of Christ. In the process, selling books, survival supplies & asking for don...

Well it's official for our Ward: our Bishop is scheduling virtual tithing settlements.
I don't know what I'm going to do. I dislike anything virtual. It's so impersonal.
Come to think of it, I'm not thrilled about in person as well.
