29 June 2023….life sucks, then you die

An open letter to “prince Harry”, Mr.  Mountbatten-Windsor

You have really dug yourself into a hole. 

In many ways I don’t care about you anymore. After you got married and decided to move the United States, you lost any of the worth you had. You had a very hard childhood because your parents got divorced, your mother died, and you got press spotlight for every step you made, good or bad. Life sucks. 

So now you have two children and a wife that has barely grown up, you find yourself living in a country that barely recognizes your title. Because you left your native country, your grandmother would not use you for some official events and your father, God bless him, has essentially demoted you in similar fashion. 

I love following the royal family. There is so much that is good that is done. You are not a member of the royal family anymore. 

You live in a country that doesn’t have royalty. Royalty is recognized in other countries, but you and your wife chose to not be part of that anymore. 

So, to use a phrase, “Shit, or get off the pot”. 

Do one of two things. Live in the states, drop the title, let your wife, go to work like she wants, she can get an agent, try to find jobs, you can be a stay at home dad and help raise your children away from the public eye.

Or,

Go back to Great Britain, beg your father to let you back in the the family you start working as a royal again. You don’t want your wife and children to go out, so they can stay home most of the time. You can go and be a working royal again. Going out by yourself most of the time. 

Maybe, become a duke that does nothing but maintain your land holdings and become the person you want the world to be. 

You were born to be a royal. You have few other skills.  I hope you become a worthwhile person.

20 June 2023…..it is hot.

Mark14:7 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: ….

Abraham3:19 And the Lord said unto me: These two facts do exist, that there are two spirits, one being more intelligent than the other; there shall be another more intelligent than they; I am the Lord thy God, I am more intelligent than they all.

I have been studying money. I have been listening to audio books, one specifically by Rabbi Daniel Lapin. I very much like everything that is in the book. 

So it gave me some new insights. 

Basically how money is very good and it is good to work for money to help others. 

One thing I noticed was him referring to the New Testament. (Kind of weird a Jewish rabbi referring to the New Testament.) Still, he mentioned the passage about the poor always being with us. 

That got me thinking about the other scripture in the Book of Abraham. It is specifically referring to intelligence. I think we could say God is the richest and there are always people that fall under him as far as wealth goes. 

Taking these two scriptures you could say that everyone is more poor than God. So the poor will always be with us. I may be rich but most likely, there is someone else who is  richer. In comparison there are lots of “poor”. For example, Donald Trump is rich. Most people are poor compared to him. Still there are people that are richer than him.

There are the richest people in the world. If you compare most people to them, to Donald Trump, he is poor. If I put someone that makes $200,000 next to a billionaire who is poor. So everyone is poor compared to someone else.

I hate the way things are happening in this country. I hate to say it but I think the United States is becoming a banana republic. One political party saying and doing whatever they can co discredit the other party. I think organized political parties should be banned. I don’t know exactly how, but something could be done. Maybe political parties can not be part of national politics.

 So a little about my goals. 

Make bread every week. 

We are making bread every week. I cannot praise homemade bread enough. Eating store bought bread should be a crime. 

Floss my teeth daily. 

I’m doing much better. 

           

 Grow chilli peppers and trees.

The lemon tree is wow! 

I have bell peppers. I harvested the seeds from mini bell peppers I got at the store. So mini bell peppers might be a very recessive trait. Only regular bell peppers are formed when the seeds are planted. 

I had a Japanese maple but for some reason it died. It was doing very well. It got very cold at Christmas time. Then it was doing well for a while. Now it is a stick in the dirt. 

Exercise at least every other day. Spend time out of my wheelchair.

I do my standing up it really can hurt some of the standing muscles I have not used regularly in years. 

          

Help Hildete study English, at least one hour every day. Help her learn enough English so she can get a job as she would like and so she can go to the nail salon by herself. 

I really want to help my wife learn English. It seems very difficult to pin down a specific time every day. And I really want to help her get a job and go to the nail salon. I’m not sure how to help best. 

         

Work on money daily at least five minutes; budgeting, planning, or accounting, where did the money go, daily and make sure I am saving. Learn to be a good Jew, about money. 

I have been able to keep working on my money. It is easy once you get it started. Put together a budget/plan. Then I do accounting during the month. Make sure every dollar is going to the right place. 

Avoid Television as much as possible, listen to audio books, or spend time writing.

Television has a terrible hold on me. 

  Well, I think I have been helped a small bit. My TV stopped producing a picture. The sound seems fine. So that means I need to consider getting a new TV. It might actually be a good idea not to have a TV.  

        

Learn poker. Several different games and help my wife and children learn it. 

I really think this is a good idea. We have just not been doing it. I have been feeling very crummy on the days after I do a lot. It is actually very fun. 

Study gospel topics, Book of Mormon, General conference, Old Testament, New Testament, Doctrine & Covenants.

This is something that I do ok with.
