Teaching the class

This picture has nothing to do with this post. It just so HOT here I wish I was there. So I get a letter from my Bishop, would I be willing to take 5 to 8 minutes in the 5th Sunday lesson, and teach whatever the Spirit wants me to teach? You bet, but could I please have 20? No, 5 to 8. There will be other High Priests teaching. I prayed for a topic, the great Talk "The Balm of Gilead" by Elder Boyd K Packer came to mind. It starts this way "My message is an appeal to those who are worried or restless or anxious, a plea to those who are not at peace. If your life is touched with disappointment, grief, or bitterness; if you struggle constantly with worry, frustration, with shame or anxiety, I speak to you". I hope I can do it justice in 5 to 8 minutes. It was in the New Era Aug. 1979, get a copy read it, learn from it, it could change your life. Well a least it's a great talk. I'll let you know how it went. Larry

My left knee

This is my left knee, I've had three knee replacement surgeries in the past two and a half years. yes it hurts, but thanks to great personal blessings, and Prayers in my behalf, I' made great progrees. I think it's kind of cool to have those long spikes in my leg. Check out the knee cap, I don't know what it is. It feels strange to kneel on, but I have 135 degree movement, that wonderful. Happy Fourth of July!!!! Please lets work on getting better people in Washington, we need people more like our founders and less like Moa. Help keep the U.S. strong. Get them all out and start over. None a worth their wieght in dog crap, they all stink. Lets help all we can, people, and the Country need you and I to work hard, look around and fix it. Larry
