 Michael wouldn't take his nap the other day.  By dinner he was so tired but so hungry.  He kept asking me for food and I kept giving it to him but each time it took him longer and longer to eat it until . . . Mormon 4:5  "5  But, behold, the judgments of God will overtake the wicked; and it is by the wicked that the wicked are punished; for it is the wicked that stir up the hearts of the children of men unto bloodshed." The righteous don't punish the wicked. It is not their place. Good will make sure the wicked are punished but we must learn to forgive forget and seek the good.

Yesterday Annelise finally got her answer.  She has CRPS ( Complex regional pain syndrome) which means that her body thinks her foot should be in pain and sends signals to the foot to be in pain.  It will never go away but she will start physical therapy and pain management therapy to learn how to deal with it and to hopefully put it in remission.  Poor dear!!  Book of Mormon, Helaman 11:37-38 "37
