Emotions running high

I listened to a podcast from This American Life. I was overwhelmed by the grief I felt. The story was about Harper HS in Chicago. The life that these kids had to live was terrible. The next podcast was from General Conference where the choir sang “I am a child of God” The contrast really hit me. I am still feeling it. We watched a church video “Mountains to Climb” Excellent video. We were all crying. I want to explain to the kids that emotions are a sense that the Holy Ghost will use, but it is not used exclusively by the Holy Ghost. One of the inoculations I want to inject. Does that make sense?

I gave my talk on Sunday. I feel really good about it. Now it is done. I feel a sense of relief. I don’t know what pressure I was unknowingly feeling, but I do feel a sense of relief. Of course that just leaves room for trouble. That may be Dakota feeling overwhelmed by school. Kim thinks she is really struggling. I need to figure out how to help her. McKala is trying to find her place too. I prefered the troubles of unemployment being upon me rather than having our kids struggle, but it is not always my choice to make.

I feel like cruising at work. Let’s see how today goes. It is an eating day and I feel obligated to fill it
