I just read this scripture quoted in a blog comment thread, alluding to. . .me. 2 Nephi 9:28 28 O that cunning plan of the evil one! O the vainness, and the frailties, and the foolishness of men! When they are learned they think they are wise, and they hearken not unto the counsel of God, for they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves, wherefore, their wisdom is foolishness and it profiteth them not. The context: I had suggested that Ezra Taft Benson's political views as expressed in 1968 before he was the prophet were not the official political views of the church, and shouldn't be construed as such. It is actually not the first time this month that I've been told through scriptural references that I am a wicked person {my extrapolated take-away from the conversations}. I give up.

I was working on the computer and she kept running over to me, "They're winning!" I would smile, nod, and say, "Yes. I hear it too."
After the game was over, she went out the front door, into the neighborhood. I think she expected other people to come outside their doors too -- maybe congregate, have a neighborhood meeting and talk highlights. But nobody else was out there. She came back in looking disapointed. But I gave her a high-five, so we could share the moment. It was more fun for me to watch her than to hear the game.
Neil, yeah, that part's not so great.
I love Steve's enthusiasm...that would have been me!
