The Road to Health: CoVid 19 Can be Stayed

I have seen a few comments on FB regarding my involvement in the development of CoVid 19 in RC or the Inland Empire and I have since heard that these stories are circulating in my community. When I say my community, I mean my church, neighbors, friends. I am addressing these comments or any other fears or stories that might be circulating. I just want my community to be aware of the steps I took to insure that CoVid19 would stop with me. I got home late at night and the next day developed a fever.

This morning my family and I are gathering at noon via Zoom app to share our thoughts and feelings about the recent article in the Ensign by our Prophet Russell M. Nelson.  If you would like to read and ponder on his words, you can access it here  A MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT RUSSELL M. NELSON. The reason why we are gathering is because my dear friend Rachel Sebra, shared her testimony of the prophet and what she said brought me peace and hope.  Her selfless effort to share her thoughts brightened my hope.  Thank you Rachel:) And so it goes:  We share our faith and hope and the trickle effect can make a profound difference in the lives of others.  Isn't it wonderful how we can gather virtually and participate in discussions that lift and raise our hopes.  I would like to challenge you to download the article and annotate it.  Look for passages that are powerful and inspiring.  Choose a passage that you loved in particular and share below in the comments-- write the quote verbatim

Family Poetry Battle. WORD!

The William Carlos William Apology Poem Created Battle of Poems in The Stowell Clan Group Chat! I dedicated my poem This is Just to Say  to my big brother Scotty D. I left one last spoonful of Haagan Daz in your pint. I'm sure you were looking forward to having it for your evening treat. Forgive me, it was delicious-- so creamy and sweet Please dispose of the carton when you are done . Which prompted a response: Here is my poem in response to the shocking confession of my sneaky little sister: You are not forgiven, not yet at least. For I relish my icecream as a special feast if its forgiveness you seek to lighten your guilt You'll first have to tear down the wall between us you've built Oh, my sweet little sister who I use to trust without ever a waver It seems has pulled off the great ice cream caper With great sorrow - Scott To Which I replied At least it is off my Chest!
