Wyatt Johnson's Birthday 17th Birthday

6:30 pm Gateway Stake Conference

Note: Our loyalty to God must be greater to God than to ourselves, to our father, our mother, or our family.  I knew this but had not related the commandment or teaching of Christ to myself until I watched the TV series The House of David on Amazon Prime.  Abner, commander of King Saul's army, asked David's brother, a soldier in Saul's army, this question, if is he willing to put the interest of King Saul before that of his father and family?

I got a good night's sleep. I had prayer and made the bed. Debbie did not sleep well and got up early. We had prayer together.  I sent Wyatt a happy birthday text.  I also sent his grandmother, Elain, a text that today is Wyatt's birthday.  Patrick came over to spend the day. Debbie and I had fruit and cereal for breakfast. I also had one of the blueberry muffins Jody made with some chocolate milk. Debbie went downstairs and walked for 10 minutes on the treadmill.  Pat got on the vibrating machine for 10 minutes.  I went in the back bedroom and did crunches, pushups, and stood on one leg and then the other with my eyes closed and then open for as long as I could without falling.  Debbie gave me a grocery list, and I went to Costco and Macey's to get the groceries and got my hair cut at Great Clips.  When I got home, I fixed lunch and later, before dinner, after Debbie did her 10-minute walk on the treadmill.  Our neighbor, Dan Hammon, came over before dinner with his 17-year-old son, Gabe, to visit us.  Later, after dinner, Patrick went home to his family at about 6:30 PM.   We missed the Saturday afternoon session of Gateway Stake Conference.  It was not broadcast.  I made this note after watching a historical documentary on Edward de Vere 17th Earl of Oxford, (1550–1604), who wrote plays and poetry under the pen name “William Shakespeare.”  De Vere was a courtier, scholar, and prolific ghostwriter whose life events convincingly mirrored and inspired themes in Shakespeare's plays.  He made Venice his base of operations during his trip to Italy, which lasted approximately ten months, from May 1575 to March 1576.                                                                        While Shakespeare (1564-1616) wrote plays set in Venice and other Italian locations, there's no evidence to suggest he ever actually visited Italy.                                                                                                        Debbie and I had prayer before going to bed.
