Hey Vern! Thanks for the really nice message!! I'm doing great, we're getting ready for my graduation and Air Force commissioning in May, and after that we'll be off to New York state! And then Mississippi and Florida after that. So a lot of moving in our future, but we just bought a bigger car to get us through it!

Good morning Ben,
You responded to me last time and I can't figure out how. Maybe I will go look at my conversations.

Well there it is. By writing this it just got moved to the top. I can see that I am not listed as one of your friends so more power to you for still responding.@ Eric W is my home teaching companion nowadays. He is so funny. All these years and he still can't quite commit fully to the church. He says he can't make it without his extra work on Sundays but he could. He has renters and everything! @ I am living on half a retirement income and have a whole house payment to make! He could do it. You and I both know that. But . . .
WE communicate usually once or twice a week.
So Ben,@ I woke up this morning having drempt about you and your family. When I first contacted you 1/23, I did not want to overwhelm you so I just asked a brief question. How are your and Brittany's testimonies doing? Are you nourishing them daily?@ You are breaking the mold Ben. You cracked it by going on a mission. You gave it a mighty smack by marrying in the temple. Don't give in to the logic of non believers and semi actives! Polluting our minds with possible truths weakens us. Sticking with the wise old men, apostles and prophets with no ulterior motives, will leave you guilt free and in tune. And when those celestial joys come by blessing the lives of others it is time to sit back and ponder and meditate and relive. Feeling the joy of righteous thoughtful service cannot be surpassed. But one must enjoy it, relive it, thrill in it, in peace and quiet be grateful for it and the spirit comes. . . .
As you can tell, I love you in a distant way and care for you! STay True! It always pays off in the end. Be diligent and dependable. He wants to bless us if we desire Him.

Hello Brother Jeff Stipple ,,Sunday 2/8/15, 6pm Do you remember me stopping and shaking your hand in priesthood and saying, Do I know you? Nice disguise but I still figured it out!
I saw some exchanges between you and Ben Yunker a few weeks ago that I did not take the time to read but looked like it was about gay rights. Mari has been off the deep end in my opinion for years. I initiated a talk with Ben asking how he was doing. @ This morning I woke up with the desire to help secure his testimony if it is faltering. It was a pleasant way to wake up. @I did write him but tonight I was thinking, I wonder what points Jeff was trying to make?
Did you know about this private way of talking on FB? v
