915. Happy Birthday to my dear husband Wayne and his twin brother Blaine, now in the Spirit World together, and probably really having fun!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY DEAR HUSBAND WAYNE, AND HIS TWIN BROTHER BLAINE -- TODAY!  I TOOK THIS PICTURE THIS MORNING IN ST. GEORGE.


  There are many blogs which tell about them.  If you are interested, you can check blogs # 703, on Sept. 18, 2016, #491 on August 29, 2015, # 233 on September 18, 2014, and # 109 on March 1, 2014. 


Today would have been my husband Wayne, and his brother Blaine's 87th birthdays!  They were born September 18, 1930.  Their dear mother Gladys didn't know she was going to have twins.  They weren't expected to live the night, and they were given a name and a blessing.  In the blessing they were told they would live mature lives.  Blaine passed away at the age of 68, and Wayne at the age of 85.

I put flowers on both graves this morning in St. George.  I'm now home from being down there for 4 days.  I went and returned on the Salt Lake Express Shuttle, and stayed with my sister Vina 2 days and my son Jeremy and his wife Danielle 2 days.  I attended the Family History Expo at the Dixie Center and had a wonderful time!  I will be posting many of my notes in the coming days.  I took several fascinating classes, and we had amazing keynote speakers and entertainers.



This is one of 2 large about 7 feet square murals on the walls of the Dixie Center.  They are painted on -- the real thing!  The one below is near it!


  This was one of the things presented in an English Research class.  It tells the naming patterns for England.  According to this I should have some granddaughters named after me -- but so far none have.  I'll tell more of fascinating things I learned at the Expo!  --  I'm tired as I just got home.

It truly was a Family History Lover's paradise!

121. Have you had your own Personal Gethsemane? I have had -- twice!

Image
I ran across this article this morning from a blog called:  LDS S.M.I.L E.  You  can also follow it at:    http://www.ldssmile.com   (Copy and paste)             It stands for LDS Spiritually Minded is Life Eternal. I have copied it as it was in their blog.  In my title, I mentioned I have had a Personal Gethsemane, not once, but two times, both quite different.  They are extremely personal, and I will not go into them here.  Only some family members know, and not even some of whom are my dearest friends.  Some deep problems are very personal, and some are known by many people, and perhaps are mentioned in the media!  They are as diverse as our lives are! But I do know the only thing that allowed me to keep my faith, courage, and personal self control to go on with normal life was our Savior, Jesus Christ, and the comfort I felt from prayer, and yes -- Personal Priesthood blessings. ...

993. Are We Ever Released from the Responsibilities of Parenting? By Julie de Azevedo Hanks · January 16, 2018, in Meridian Magazine

These are great thoughts, and very wise! Are We Ever Released from the Responsibilities of Parenting? By Julie de Azevedo Hanks  · January 16, 2018 We’ve heard phrases like “parenting is a calling from which you are never released [i] , [ii] ” over the pulpit many times, but rarely do we actually reflect on what this means. When taken literally, that it’s a parent’s job to continue to be their child’s caretaker throughout their lives, this belief can create enmeshed families with weak boundaries that undermine the adult child’s agency. Here are some ideas to consider about the danger of parents who are overly involved with their adult children and adult children who don’t fully transition into an adult role. Intrusive Parents   Too often, this belief of eternal parenthood is used to justify a parent giving constant (often unsolicited) input or criticism into an adult child’s life decisions. Does never being released from parenthood mea...
