I'm worried about what happened after they left the store. That father seems difficult to live with since he has so much rage, and I can't imagine he would quickly forgive his son for embarrassing him.

This poor kid had to be the grown-up, the parent, the man in the family, the one to literally pick up the howling infant & carry him outside, when his old man lost his marbles in the middle of a Tucson supermarket & went on an insane rant about face masks.

Vulgarity alert: extreme in both text & speech. If all you do is watch the video, mute the audio & don't read the text, you'll still get the idea. The guy in the blue shirt appears to be the "father" & the younger clean-shaven man in the light hat appears to be the son.

I decided to edit out the link because it isn't really appropriate for Nauvoo. Just Google something like "Tucson son carries dad out after supermarket meltdown."

I hope the young man won't feel embarrassed with his friends or peers, but can certainly understand if he does. He did what he had to do.

Here we go again. 😠

Nasty women, psychos, & ditzes. Projection is such a sad thing to see in people, isn’t it?

Turn against your own appointees & wonder why there is constant turnover & turmoil in your outfit.

Get your own mail-in ballot but tamper with a federal agency to prevent the rest of the American people from getting one to stay safe in the middle of a pandemic.

Not to mention tampering with the census to distort some states’ congressional representation, highway & school funding, & more, for the next 10 years & more,

And U.S.-born U.S. citizens, who just *happen* to be nonwhite, being “ineligible” to hold federal office. Isn’t this getting tiresome?

The dream is another step closer to reality. Several months ago, I put together a board of directors and established a 501(c)(3) non-profit for the foundation of a charter school. We partnered with the Teton Science School and became a member of the place-based network of rural schools. Today, the Utah State Board formally accepted our proposal! Now we can write a full charter and begin looking for land. Our new K-8 school will open for students in fall 2022. There's a heck-of-a-lot of work ahead, but we've cleared the first hurdle.

Doctrines & Scholarship / Re: Prospering in the Land

I just noticed this from last week's reading:

Quote

And this was their faith, that by so doing God would prosper them in the land, or in other words, if they were faithful in keeping the commandments of God that he would prosper them in the land; yea, warn them to flee, or to prepare for war, according to their danger; And also, that God would make it known unto them whither they should go to defend themselves against their enemies, and by so doing, the Lord would deliver them; --Alma 48:15-16a

Maybe "prospering in the land" can even mean fleeing the land. An interesting thought!

News of the Church / Re: Church leaders in legal proceedings

My pov. If the civil or criminal case directly relate to church policy, property or rights, the church council needs to be involved. If the church is only tangentially involved because one or more party members happen to be lds, then the church should stay out of the way. IOW, SLC should only be involved if the church leader is involved as a result of his or her status as an agent.
