joseph smith movie is so sad
I'm tired to the point of almost falling over right now, so I'm going to keep this brief and without major aside. Salad had a job interview for a teaching position this morning, so we went up and I worked on homework in the car while she was interviewing. Afterwards we went to lunch, then headed up to Salt Lake to watch the Joseph Smith movie. Can I just say...I consider myself a fairly sensitive guy, but I don't often cry in movies. This movie is three for three in making me bawl, though. Not only does it have emotionally manipulative down, but there's honestly a lot of Spirit in it and a lot of power that transcends mere emotion. I love the movie. It's sad, but so sweet.
I'm really looking forward to talking with my bishop tomorrow. He's a fantastic guy that I trust completely. I've been in this ward for two years, and my cousins have been here for over three. Our bishop is like family. Salad and I are both going to go talk with him and let him know our situation, and I really want a priesthood blessing from a person who knows the story and what's going on, and who can hopefully be a conduit for God to directly address what I've been going through.
And now I really am literally too tired to keep my eyes open. While I'm typing. It's to the level of ridiculous, which means I have to shelf my desire to keep posting about interesting things and give it up for some future time.

How great that you have a bishop that has that much of your confidence. I appreciate your attitude in looking for strength from a priesthood leader. Good luck with that today!
-l- i'm mildly disturbed that you are up at such an obnoxious hour! i hope you're in a different time zone at least. not that i have much room to talk, but at least i'm getting payed to be awake at 4 in the morning.
I know what you mean about that movie. I lost it when young Joseph had his leg operated on and Lucy was across the field with his father and Alvin holding him. The first time I saw it my youngest son was eight years old; it was so easy to put myself in Joseph Sr.'s position.
I love the Prophet Joseph. I love what he stood for, all the experiences he had, the strength he demonstrated under the most extreme circumstances.
You're demonstrating great faith - the kind of faith the Lord wants us to have - in asking your bishop for a blessing. I'm sure you'll be blessed today!
You write very well.
