    Over the past few weeks I have been positively giddy when considering the possibility of leaving my current job (and boss).

    Over the last couple of weeks Laura has started to do more and reach out emotionally toward life. I have noticed her references to the church become more “us” and less “them.” Tonight she asked for my support in starting to study the scriptures again.

    I think the ultimate example of compensatory blessings is the biggest shift from unparalleled destruction to hearing the voice of Christ explaining what had happened and inviting the people to return to Him and be healed. It reminds me of an extreme example of what we have been invited to look for in this day…

    I was greeted this morning for my 1-on-1 with Matt buy being presented with a 90-day performance improvement plan.
