Though I'm not sure your name, I'm glad I could help in some way. Life certainly has a variety of turns and bends. Recently I felt that I needed to shift some of my time around. This time I put some of my blog writing time on the shelf so I could take something else off to dust it off. I hope to get back to this soon. In the mean time, I appreciate your comments. Knowing someone else can benefit in a small way makes it easier to share more and more.

Tell you what, though, as far as this summer goes, I'll see your enthusiasm and raise you a couple of outstanding memories. There's no gamble there. I am really looking forward to our reunion, too.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15816262735232501242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5662119305355583281.post-77846641729148579992010-03-08T07:20:09.767-07:002010-03-08T07:20:09.767-07:00Hi, John,

I really enjoyed your "The Cost of Admission" thoughts. I look forward to catching up on some of your other postings. That sounded like a really great stake conference address.....if you can sit down and write something like that off the top of your head I'm going to have serious issues with envy which, of course, will require massive repentance. <br />We're looking forward to the summer reunion with great enthusiasm. <br />Please give my love to your family!<br /><br />XXOO Suzannejonesmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05908042002641763829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5662119305355583281.post-13213242288365224602009-12-14T15:37:03.694-07:002009-12-14T15:37:03.694-07:00Missing a link?Missing a link?Kerstinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13429506836454943903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5662119305355583281.post-67861560829567931322009-11-02T06:29:41.896-07:002009-11-02T06:29:41.896-07:00I really appreciate your thoughts on Isaiah. I th...I really appreciate your thoughts on Isaiah. I think it was while I was on my mission that I began to enjoy reading Isaiah, both in the Book of Mormon and in the Old Testament. I suppose that is an indication of the kind of study routine (in terms of consistency at least) that helps to make the language less daunting and the message more evident. In more recent years I have found that the Isaiah chapters in 2 Nephi serve as my own personal spiritual barometer. If I find myself impatiently trying to skim through them, I realize that I've got some spiritual catching up to do. If I feel the same kind of light and enjoyment while reading them as I do the later chapters of 2 Nephi, I take that as a sign that I'm keeping myself a bit more in tune with the Spirit. On a lighter note, in my own mind Isaiah comes with a built-in soundtrack. It's hard to read much in Isaiah before I start hearing Handel in the background. Thanks again for the post!Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03203442190067211002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5662119305355583281.post-91464909903997373082009-10-18T17:45:39.630-06:002009-10-18T17:45:39.630-06:00Thanks Kristi, and you are welcome to use that on ...Thanks Kristi, and you are welcome to use that on your blog.
