Hi Family~~
I went to a most wonderful Stake Relief Society Conference this morning. I just wanted to share a thought that I know you can all relate to (Travis in the future). President John Miller, (yes, the band teacher whom I railed on in a Daily Herald editorial, because he did not take a pep band to the High School basketball games) (but I surely do love and respect him now). Anyway, he took the song, "I am a Child of God", and placed an additional tender meaning to the words. He asked us to take the phrases and apply them as though our own children were asking us to LEAD them, (lead out in the direction they and your family should go); GUIDE them, (point out to them, and be aware of the many pitfalls, and danger areas of life); WALK beside them, (be with them. Go places with them. Support their activities and interests). HELP them find the way, (help them by example of family prayer, scripture study, fasting, service, living righteously, etc.)
I know you are all already doing all of these things, but I did really like how it felt in thinking that my precious grandchildren do have that help from their parents.
I surely love all of you! Mom

Sounds like a great talk. Is he the stake pres? I hadn't heard. I also hadn't heard that you railed on him in the Daily Herald. Was it anonymous?
I really like that application too. I think it's clear that Mom and Dad did a good job of LEADing us - since none of us played in the band!
Ha, Ha, Ryan-you are too funny!
OK, Ryan and Julie~~~I think you two are WAY more interested in John Miller, the band teacher, and the BAND, than you are in my message! Humnf!
o.k. illiterate computer me
we are finally here. Could use some help next week, moving Sat. 8:00 A.M. Both Ryans', Travis. Kidding, this move will be one of the easier moves. How about the colts. Go Peyton and Marvin. I like the receiver, reminds me of Ryan and of course the name!
