Apparently, about 17 years after murders, Mac Christensen, father of victim Steven Christensen, paid for the mission of Mark Hoffman's son. The court costs and other expenses related to Mark's actions had left his wife and family pretty much destitute and when his son wanted to go on a mission, Mac stepped forward and covered the cost. Pretty amazing, I thought.
    Wow. That is impressive.

    Google keyboard is ok. Still not as good at punctuation as Swype.

    Allow me to suggest that they download the Google keyboard. A simple push of a button and you’ll be right at home when you borrow one of their phones.

    Actually, there's only two commandments.

    Last Sunday we skipped church for the tri-county Special Olympics Basketball Jamboree. About a hundred athletes participated in the basketball games and skill challenges. What strikes me about the Special Olympics is the love that abounds. It's truly a happy place where good sportsmanship and proper behavior is more important than winning or losing. If there was ever a place where odd and misfits could go, and feel 100% acceptance, its the Special Olympics. As I write this, it occurs to me that we didn't really skip church last Sunday, as did participate in a Christ like experience.
