  1. This episode really speaks to me. I’ve saved it and will come back to it when I need a reminder to “Let Go and Let God”. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this.

  2. Needless to say I was the jerk who told everyone that Santa Claus doesn’t exist. Having found that out own my own since I was 5 years old, and went around telling everyone including my own daughter when she was 4.

    Now, I kind of wish I hadn’t and enjoyed the magic of belief… bursting other people’s bubbles is not enjoyable, but intervening when the time is right seems like a sacred responsibility.

    Thanks yet again.

    1. Thanks David
      I too am realizing I don’t need to go streaking through the chapel building yelling there’s no Santa Claus. Nor do I need to white knuckle it. Slowly I’m finding my middle ground.

  3. I loved your message, especially about judging someone to be a goody-goody, when no one really knows their background. And the warning to not enable someone like this stake leader did with his son. I’m afraid my own son could end up a user if I enable. Anyway, just really like listening to you! 🙂

  4. Thanks Kay. Life ain’t easy. But sometimes it ain’t as hard we make it. Good luck with your son. Our paths are set up for our ultimate good!
