A king holds a small model of a walled city in one hand while he raises the other hand in blessing.

Asking for continued prayers for discernment; that my eyes would be open, my ears would hear, and my heart would perceive.

@Airout12 @mollywithakay It is a tremendously emotional scene. In such few words, the paled face of the king grips the wall for support, any malice for Amnon’s murder or Absalom’s coup is gone as he stammers, scarcely able to believe, “Absalom, my son. My son, Absalom.

@FateGO_USA Lol.

@JosephBenJ2 @MilitantThomist @ByzCat Nope.

Praying the Luminous Mysteries, it struck me how proud Mary must have been when she heard all the things her Son was doing and how pleased she must have been to see the Man He was becoming.

I guess I’m off again.

Hello, Happy Saturday. Go to confession.

[EvergreenAutumn🦉 @EvergreenAutumn]

Great thanks especially to @DisputedCDV and @theskyscribe for their exceptional kindness.

[EvergreenAutumn🦉 @EvergreenAutumn]

I think I need to head out for a while. Many thanks for all your support and kindnesses. I have met some very remarkable people here and I hope the Lord continues to guide and bless each one of you.

Evidently one of her university friends thought she looked slightly Marfanoid but, you know, it’s one of those things it doesn’t occur to you to really think about or mention until after the fact. I’m glad it wasn’t any negligence on our part.

[EvergreenAutumn🦉 @EvergreenAutumn]

It appears Mom died of an aortic aneurysm stemming from undiagnosed Marfan syndrome. We haven’t done bloodwork yet, but I’m sure it will return positive. Every last one of her symptoms and bodily quirks signalled Marfan. There is some closure knowing how she died, I guess.

The only takeaway I can give is if you have to deal with a funeral home, GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING and REQUIRE of them COPIOUS DOCUMENTATION. They are sharks and leeches and include all kinds of hidden fees and charges in "packages" you may not realize you're buying.

That funeral director might be the slimiest man I've ever encountered and based on the reticence to give any kind of itemized invoice, I think he may be dishonest. I'd really like to know why Mom's bill was nearly twice what they charged for my brother-in-law two months prior.

Dad: What if we had a friend use his tractor to put the lid on the vault?

Funeral Director: Ah, ah, you don’t want to do that. It requires special equipment and what if it drops and breaks?

Vault Service: Sure, you could do that. The lids include four metal hooks for chains.

Evidently they are all BYU graduates (if he was telling the truth). I don't know that the LDS stance on such things is, but I'm giving them the LDS church the benefit of the doubt that this crew are just scoundrels and not representative.
