Michael Vick



Well we all know by now that Michael Vick has done the most absolute heinous thing that someone could do. So to give a more fun aspect to this, my Dad sent me two cartoons that make fun of him and what he did. I personally think that what he did was ridiculously wrong and cruel. I think that he deserves what ever punishment he gets from the government and he should be suspended indefinitely and should not even be given the opportunity to return to the NFL. What he did was worse than what Pete Rose did (betting on baseball, betting on his own team at that) so he should be allowed to even have anything to do with football, meaning any sort of coaching; announcing; etc. Please feel free to express you opinions on Michael Vick. I hope that you enjoy the cartoons.

Life is Truly Short

Well today was a day of good news and bad news. After going to the doctor and hearing that Ann is getting better as planned, which is the good news. From there we went to my in-laws house to talk to Ann's dad about going to Northern California for work. When Ann walked in she could tell that something was wrong and she asked what was wrong. Her Mom went on to say that a family friend died while driving his son to the MTC in Provo, Ut (the bad news). They had "going away party" for his son with family and friends at their house until after midnight. From there they left to head up to Utah and the MTC. This was a big shock to everyone because this brother was a great leader for his ward (he was bishop) and a great friend to all who met him. His wife had a neck injury, but other than that (as far as I know) no one else was seriously injured.

This just goes to show that life is truly short life is in the Lord's Eternal Plan. We really should not take advantage of this life and we should really be prepared for that moment when the Lord says that it is our time go return to live with him again. It is truly a tragic event to happen to any one and my heart goes out the the Talataina Family in the loss of their beloved father, husband, and friend. I hope that each one of us can remember why we are here and take advantage of every moment we have because this life is a very short time in the Lord's plan.

"Whate'er Thou Art, Act Well Thy Part."


Today I taught my usual Sunday School class, which is Presidents of the Church. Today's topic was President David O. McKay - Worldwide Ambassador of God. We talked about how he was prepared by the Lord to be a Prophet of the Lord. We talked about how it started when he first got his Patriarchal Blessing when the Patriarch told David that he had something else to do than to play marbles. He then was told that it would be his lot to site on a council with his brethren and preside among the people and exhort the Saints to faithfulness. From there it when to how much he loved to learn and how he met his future wife.

Then it goes to my favorite part of story and the title of this post. When David O. McKay was a missionary in Scotland he was having a day that every missionary has. He was a little discouraged and homesick. While he and his companion were walking he saw a broken down dwelling with a stone over the doorway with a carving on it. David told his companion that he was going to see what it was. While he was walking up the gravel walkway the carving came into view. On the stone was the following motto: "Whate'er Thou Are Art, Act Well Thy Part." Which for President McKay went on to mean, that what ever you are you should act that part. Meaning that if you are a missionary, member of the church, etc. you should act like a missionary and a member of the church.

This is something that is very important to me because it is such true concept to just be true to who you are and what you represent. All his life David O. McKay used this and other concepts and qualities that were learned in his life while he was in the service of the Lord. On top of his service and "acting well his part," he logged over one million miles in his travels representing the church. When David O. McKay died the news spread across the world. From there condolences and letter to his family poured in from all over the world.

I know that all the prophets of the church are meant to be examples and their examples should be followed, but I feel that if every young man followed the example of David O. McKay, there would be better missionaries and better priesthood holders in the church. I know that I am going to try to follow his example and apply the motto that he found that one day on his mission... "Whate'er Thou Art, Act Well Thy Part."

Hospitals


On Wednesday I spent more time in a hospital than I have in the last 15 years of my life. This is because my wife had two cysts in her sinus cavities, one under each eye. She has been feeling one of them for about 4 and a half months until she has them removed. Before we figured out what was really wrong with her we went to the doctor and they diagnosed her with a sinus infection. Well that infection transformed into the previously stated cysts. Over then last 4 and a half months they grew to the size of large grapes.

As I said on Wednesday she had them removed and had some other minor things done that would help her breath better. The picture above is what she looked like after the surgery was done and we had returned to her parents house. For the first few days after the surgery she did not feel well, but after a phone call to the doctor we found out that the anesthetic would not wear off due that fast due to the amount of water she that she drank. Once she started to drink something else she started to feel better. So good in fact, that today I got her out of the house and we went for a nice little walk by the watter of Newport Harbor. The doctor has given her a number of rules that she has to follow. For a few weeks she can not blow her nose, etc. From here there is nothing that she can but just better.
