Every night
I review my day.
Every step
along the way.
For some reason, this song popped into my head the other day. I haven’t heard it in years. But when I think of it I think of my dad.

“What lack I yet?” has been a most profound scripture in my life. It was the example of the rich young ruler that prompted me to serve a mission.
It came as a great shock to everyone, the day his life was abruptly done.
They assumed he’d live forever, they’d say to one another:
(of course, after he’d shut his office door that is when the best gossip would begin to roar)
“He’s a grump,” “He’s a miser,” they all said so it was with no sorrow they learned he was dead.
In fact, they threw the biggest party, still going, so they tell me.
As I traveled down the road
The same ole scenery passed by.
Weeds, rocks, and of course, garbage –
Nothing beautiful caught my eye.

Two talks by President Uchtdorf in a row? Can you name me one reason why not?
Ever watched the Back to the Future trilogy? Or spent much time on Facebook recently? If you answered yes to either of those questions then you, no doubt, know today is the day Doc and Marty will arrive as visitors from 1985…and 1955.

Keep it simple, Saint. Okay, I’ve modified the well-known acronym to make it less offensive but the message is the same. Simplicity is usually best. Don’t make things complicated. Quit creating mountains when a molehill will work.
There seems to be a spider infestation in these parts. I’m not the only person to comment on it. Two of my fairly geographically close neighbors have also mentioned it. That makes three which means it is obviously a problem. The other day I saw this ugly fellow (or lady, I shouldn’t assume gender) in my hamper. Mind you I saw it from across the room through the ‘pause’ like design slits. I shouldn’t have been able to see it but I did. Ick. The reason I share all this is for the sole purpose that the next part of the story seems logical, plausible, and definitely not crazy.
