Meaning and Book Club

Two things:

This article is very interesting to me. I happened to read it as I was simultaneously sort of reading  this talk from conference . In church we talked about D&C 122 when Christ says that no matter what happens to Joseph, if even the very jaws of hell gape open wide after him, it will be for his good because
The aSon of Man hath bdescended below them all. Art thou greater than he?

I think Mom and Dad have shown us a lot about what it means to find meaning in life. I also think that it must be true that God knows us, and while things might not get fixed, we can be comforted. 

That's the first thing.

The second thing is this:

Dad is taking this class. You'll see a list of books. I thought maybe we could pick a few of them to read this winter for family book club. We don't need to do the Road obviously, but we could pick of Mice and Men, etc. 

Also, Asher just walked in and said, I really love you, Mom and I hope you never die.
I said, thank you, Asher. I love you too.
Then he said, I hope you always stay the same number so you can always do what you want to do and not get Alzheimer's. 

I wish Mom could be doing what she wanted to do. But maybe in a way she is, from an eternal perspective. Or maybe not. This is just what I'm thinking. 

I'm not sure anyone reads this anymore.

I think Asher sees things with the same little fears that you and I do. It's sweet to hear it from him.
