Return to Merrill Hall

While this blog appears to be dead, I think it is only mostly dead, and we all know there's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead.

I've been inspired by a string of run-ins with former posters on this blog.  Karl let me stay with his beautiful family in his beautifully remodeled home in San Jose in April.


Then Glenn came bearing gifts and spiritual thoughts to my home. (You are all welcome when visiting the DC area!)


Soon after I made my way west again, where Paul carried my children across a river like he was trying to assure his eternal salvation on one Saturday morning.






And though Rob was busy planning his family's reunion, he still made time to give me a hug.


On Monday I'm headed to Boston, but I think both Peter and Jesse are skipping town.  Boo.  But maybe next spring, as a friend I just saw in Utah says he's running the Boston Marathon next year.

While Glenn was here, we decided on the next book club book.  Glenn chose "Why Science Does Not Disprove God".  I know nothing about it, but I have checked the book (the actual book, not the audio) out from my local library.  I'm trying not to jump to any conclusions before I even open it.  But if you want to jump to conclusions, you are welcome to join the discussion, even if you don't read the book.  Let's aim for late September for the book discussion.

Until then, I leave with this photo I took while I was indoctrinating my kids about the importance of going to BYU:


Love you guys!
