Marilyn Ealey

Marilyn died yesterday morning. Harold was at church today because Travis Lynn had his farewell. I went up to Harold after Sacrament meeting and told him what a good friend Marilyn was, what a good wife she was and that I would miss her and I made him cry. I did not know about her death until the bishop announced it in Sacrament meeting.

Her funeral will be on Thursday and we will not be here. We will be in Colorado babysitting Kirsten's family. The viewing will be on Wednesday and we will not be here for that either. Dad said that we would go and visit with Harold at home before we leave. We will give him the card and money then.

Harold was at the temple yesterday and arrived home about 1 a.m. He thought it was odd that Marilyn did not answer the door so that he had to use his key to get in. She seemed to be taking a nap and was lying on the sofa with her mouth slightly open. He tried to wake her and she was cold to the touch. He called the ambulance, the police and then called them back because they seemed so slow. After that, as the emts arrived, Bert Paxman and Joe Christensen went to his house to help him. The family was all called.

I think, rather than giving flowers on this go around, we will give money. I think they can use it to help buy a headstone and a burial plot.

From Melanie Bolton 2/13/12:
So weird to think of her not around. Harold will be lost without her. I loved her too. I spent a lot of time at her house and she treated me just like she did her children.

Some of Whit's non-competitive festival piece‏

From LHT who thinks that the writer was very cleaver.‏

RECALL NOTICE:

The Maker of all human beings (GOD) is recalling all units manufactured, regardless of make or year, due to a serious defect in the primary and central component of the heart.

This is due to a malfunction in the original prototype units code named Adam and Eve, resulting in the reproduction of the same defect in all subsequent units. This defect has been technically termed "Sub-sequential Internal Non-Morality, " or more commonly known as S.I.N., as it is primarily expressed.

Some of the symptoms include:
1. Loss of direction
2. Foul vocal emissions
3. Amnesia of origin
4. Lack of peace and joy
5. Selfish or violent behavior
6. Depression or confusion in the mental component
7. Fearfulness
8. Idolatry
9. Rebellion

The Manufacturer, who is neither liable nor at fault for this defect, is providing factory-authorized repair and service free of charge to correct this defect.

The Repair Technician, JESUS, has most generously offered to bear the entire burden of the staggering cost of these repairs. There is no additional fee required.

The number to call for repair in all areas is: P-R-A-Y-E-R.
Once connected, please upload your burden of SIN through the REPENTANCE procedure. Next, download ATONEMENT from the Repair Technician, Jesus, into the heart component.

No matter how big or small the SIN defect is, Jesus will replace it with:
1. Love
2. Joy
3. Peace
4. Patience
5. Kindness
6. Goodness
7. Faithfulness
8. Gentleness
9. Self control

Please see the operating manual, the B.I.B.L.E. (Believers' Instructions Before Leaving Earth) and the Book of Mormon (Best of Manuals) for further details on the use of these fixes.

WARNING: Continuing to operate the human being unit without correction voids any manufacturer warranties, exposing the unit to dangers and problems too numerous to list and will result in the human unit being permanently impounded. For free emergency service, call on Jesus.

DANGER: The human being units not responding to this recall action will have to be scrapped in the furnace. The SIN defect will not be permitted to enter Heaven so as to prevent contamination of that facility. Thank you for your attention!


- GOD

P.S. You may contact the Father any time by "Knee mail."

(Because He is eternal, always on the line and is willing to listen and to help at any time. However, please remember, that sometimes He says, "No!" or "It is not good for you right now. Work a little harder.")

Melanie's New Address

Myrna wrote: Melanie, I have your Valentine's Day cards ready to mail but I don't have an address to send them to.

Love you! Mom


Melanie wrote: I had great plans of getting my change of address cards mailed by last week. There were so many little things that happened while I was trying to unpack the 400 + boxes that we had moved from Milford. (The packers sometimes only packed five things in a four foot box...I think they were paid by box.) Sorry.

Our new address and phone number are:
3217 Hawthorne Court
Flower Mound, TX 75022
Home #: 972-539-1562

(You need to make sure you write "Court" as there is a Hawthorne Drive on the other side of town).

Thanks Mom!

Myrna wrote: Thanks, Honey. Dad said you are right, they probably did get paid by box. ;)

If you like, we could just forward this email to your siblings and that would save you some time. I won't do it unless you say its O.K.


Myrna wrote: I don't mind you sending it. I will send out the follow up cards sometime next week. We are still looking for the office printer...don't know where the packers packed it. I am almost done with the boxes, but there are some tubs of the children's school work and their "treasures" that were in the attic that they might have stuffed the printer in.

Melanie is in Young Women Again

Melanie wrote: I was sad that the class Gordon told us about was on while I was at Young Women last night.

 I was put in to the Young Women Presidency after one day of being in Texas. I think the whole Presidency was astounded. They don't know me, I don't know them, the young women don't know me...it has been a little interesting.

 Love you.

Myrna wrote: I told you that you had some sort of printing on your forehead that could be seen only by bishops. It must take a bishop's vision (or your parents, we can see it too) to see the special wording. It says: "Righteous woman, good with people, loves the Lord." Dad said to remind you that the righteous should have a "mark upon their foreheads."

Articles About Book of Mormon

Myrna wrote: I would encourage you to read the series of articles: "Digging into the Book of Mormon: Part 1, 2 and 3."
They were written by John L. Sorenson.

Sorenson can also be found on the following site:"Mormon Scholars Testify." http://mormonscholarstestify.org/114/john-l-sorenson and at maxwellinstitute.byu.edu/publications/books/?bookid=72‎

John L. Sorenson was born in 1924 in Smithfield, Utah, where he grew up. After attending Utah State Agricultural College (now Utah State University), he enlisted in the Army Air Corps, where he was trained (at the California Institute of Technology) as a meteorologist and served in the South Atlantic theater ofoperations. Dr. Sorenson originated the anthropology program at BYU in 1958. From 1964 to 1969, he was head of social sciences at General Research Corporation, doing research as an applied anthropologist. Returning to Provo, he founded Bonneville Research Corporation, a subsidiary of General Research, and then, in 1971, rejoined the BYU faculty as a professor of anthropology. Altogether, he headed the anthropology program at BYU for 14 years, retiring in 1986 after suffering a heart attack.

Snowflakes Poem 

Christine Fitzgerald



Sometime if this winter you go
Abroad to see the falling snow -
You will find to your surprise
That a trillion flakes will greet your eyes.

Swirling, dancing in the day,
Who could make them quite this way?
Each one new, six sides on all,
Each reflects light as they fall.

No two ever found alike
With lace and rays and sculptured spike.
Here one moment, then they melt,
But what a silent scene is felt!

Discern in those dear tiny flakes
The face of God who nature makes
To please His children and show His love
To all the world from heaven above.

Gordon Tells of Class

Especially pertinent to those who wonder where the Book of Mormon lands are: Central America or United States.
 ...or who wonders if there is any concrete evidence of the historical reality of the ancient inhabitants of America being from the Holy Land.

Myrna wrote: Thanks, Gordon! I am very interested. I know that, first and foremost, the Book of Mormon is to be appreciated on spiritual and doctrinal levels, but it is also nice to consider where the various activities may have taken place.

Trial for

Myrna wrote: I can't remember the name of the person. I will need to call the court and get that so that I can pick it up the information I need, get the results from the trial court documents and won't need to attend.

AnnMarie wrote: Funny thing.  This man told the judge in chambers today that you and I were in collusion to run a smear campaign on him in the city so he wouldn't get a fair trial.  He also blamed me for the half a million cash bail I got on him, he said I lied to the judge. I don't know what inmate told him that you were my mother, but now he is fixated on that.

Myrna wrote: Oh, great! I made another friend and I wasn't even there. Should I just ignore him and let him rot in jail?

AnnMarie wrote: It's up to you.  If we win, he'll go to prison for at least 15 years or it could be for life.

Court

AnnMarie wrote: The trial I have been dreading, as you know from Jared (Eldridge, county attorney), is during the Shakespeare play. Funny thing.  This man told the judge in chambers today that you and I were in collusion to run a smear campaign on him in the city so he wouldn't get a fair trial.  You were not in the courtroom. He also blamed me for the half a million cash bail I got on him, he said I lied to the judge.

I don't know what inmate told him that you were my mother, but now he is fixated on that. 

If we win, he'll go to prison for at least 15 years and maybe for life.

Myrna wrote: Oh, great! I made another friend and I wasn't even there. The court should know, by now, that you tell me NOTHING. They must know that I have to get all of my information from law enforcement and from your boss because you don't say a word to me, ever. 

I plan to cover it from the court documents. I would hate to disappoint the man. Did the video make the jury ill? I could just see them asking for a break after viewing it. I'm glad I had county commission today. That way I had an excuse for not watching it
