Father's Day Talk

Jacob is giving a talk today on fathers. He did a good job preparing. I was pleased that he came up with the idea that we have a Heavenly Father and an earthly father. He talked about them and what they do. He shared some points/examples from a couple of fathers in the scriptures. He also said we have fathers in the church and gave some information about that. I was grateful that he chose to go with that. He found all of the references himself and wrote it by himself. He shared about a time when Layne shared his testimony as part of what fathers here on earth can do for us. I was so glad he chose not to go the route of telling several stories about his dad that may or may not have been relevant to a gospel principle. I think it showed maturity and spiritual awareness. He's a great kid.
I didn't get to go hear it. Rachel is sick and I'm home with her. Layne went. He is not feeling well today and so I was a little concerned about him going. I'm hoping all is well.

Summer Concerts

We went to our first summer concert last night. We got to hear hits from Broadway. It drew quite a crowd. The girls had a fun time dancing. Layne used one of the chairs that were there while I sat on the blanket and leaned against him. He surprised me by rubbing my shoulders. (They've been a little tweaked lately.)
Jonny wasn't feeling well and Jacob stayed home with him.
Good night. It feels like summer is officially here now that we have done one of our summer traditions.
