What it looks like in my office...

Check out these lovely ladies:


Aren't they amazing? These are my coworkers, whom I've dubbed (from left to right) Ginger Snap, Ginger Tea, and Ginger Ale. Notice a theme there? ;)

We were discussing the advantages of having red hair. They indicated that for females there is not a significant advantage to having red hair. In fact, Ginger Snap asserted, it's a distinct disadvantage. She said that women with red hair "do not date."

I assured her that it was because men in general find red hair alluring, to the point where one may find one's self in the awkward position of not being able to speak coherently. I've been there. Some women are so dazzlingly beautiful, so stunningly gorgeous, that it is quite literally difficult to speak.

I was reminded of a girl I knew in high school. I sat behind her in class and daydreamed incessantly about her hair. And yet, I'm sure that she never knew how attractive I found her, because I never was able to pluck up the courage to talk to her much. Which is weird for me, as I am usually pretty confident and charming. She was just too pretty. Ginger Snap said that her husband said the same thing of her. So I'm not alone. ;)

Anyway, gingers rule. These women in particular are very lovely and I'm grateful for the chance to work with them. 

And here's a pic of yours very truly, just to show that I can fit in the office - with the blue shirt, anyway.

Baptism

Yesterday Ellie was baptized. She turned eight on January 27, 2020, and she made the decision to be baptized. I want to tell you a little bit about Ellie. I have never met a child that is quite like Ellie. She is full of life and fire and joy and light. She knows no fear and is infectious in her passion for life and for goodness and for FUN!!! Above all things, she seeks the joy and fun in life. She is also wickedly clever and funny, she’s a delight to be around and makes everyone feel so good. Because she is happy, she wants everyone else to be happy. I first met sweet Elizabeth in 2018, and on the day I met her she was not feeling well. We decided that a movie would be a fun thing for a sick little girl, so I brought one of my favorites to share with her - The Neverending Story. When I got to the house, I picked her right up. It had been a very long time since I was able to pick up a girl, and she snuggled right into my arms. Her poor sick body was warm, but I was more impressed ...

Excommunication

My heart is heavy this morning. I read that Kate Kelly and others are being brought up on Church disciplinary action. For those who are unfamiliar with the process/proceedings of LDS Church discipline, it can be a bit mystifying. There are several levels of censure that the Church may impose. These range from a simple removal of some privileges for a short period of time to the most severe action - excommunication. When one is excommunicated, the person's membership in the Church is terminated. It is a very extreme measure, and for the faithful it can be a very difficult thing to consider. What people don't understand - what is nearly impossible for someone outside the proceedings to understand - is the amount of love felt. It's discipline. It's intended to be harsh (at times). And it's intended to be unpleasant. But it is done with love and care for the person. Since excommunication is such an extreme measure, it is really only very rarely applied. There are ...

Ephesus

Paul got around. Ephesus is right on the Aegean Sea, on the coast of present-day Turkey. Yesterday he was in Galatia, which was much more towards the middle of Turkey. And when he actually wrote these letters, he was in Rome... So the man could travel. He probably walked. Today's item of interest comes from chapter one in Ephesians. Verses 18 and 19 are particularly interesting: 18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power This is not the first time Paul talks about an inheritance. In Galatians he talks about the inheritance that comes of being part of the Abrahamic Covenant. He notes that we are joint-heirs through and with Christ. In Ephesians, he uses the word "adoption" - that we are adopted as the Children of Jesus Chris...
