Happy Anniversary (34) to Us

We went to Alviso for our birthday.  Ae at two so-so restaurants.  Vahl's in Alviso wasn't as good as I was expecting.  And then Bill's restaurant for breakfast also disappointed.  However the company did not.  We took a tour of Alviso, and walked out to the bay at Alviso Marina.

The Guilty (1978)

I really like this short film.  It shows a Mormon fast and testimony meeting, and a young lady (Tina Cole) asks forgiveness for her sin.  She is obviously pregnant out-of-wedlock.  Based on her testimony. many other members start to forgive of sins of neglect and showing a less than loving attitude.  Gordon Jump does an excellent job as the young woman's father.  He changes during the meeting, and you can see his pride melt away.  His attitude before the meeting, as they get out of the car, is much different at the end as he repents of his faults instead of dwelling on those of his daughter.
The old gentleman who speaks at the end summarizes the attitude of what the church should be.  We are all fellow-citizens, and here to support each other in the good times and the bad.
As I attended the temple I was so impressed with the idea of we are all helping each other.  No one can go through the temple alone, it requires the help of others.  Likewise, it will require the help of others to return to Heavenly Father.
Written by William Burch and Emma Lou Thayne.  Directed by William Burch.  BYU Films 1978.  Based on a story  by Marion D. Hanks.

Happy Birthday to Me

Black 60 August 4.  Sheri met me in town for the South First Friday.  However I had picked up some bug and the experience was dreadful because my tummy was upset.  This resulted in me being down for most of Saturday and Sunday.  However we gathered for cake on Saturday.  We tried out the new fire pit and roasted marshmallows in addition to spice cake.
