I am just now getting over the terrible
feeling of depression that has been with me for the past two weeks. We think at
times that we can intellectualize ourselves into a protective insulation from
the “hurts” of the world, but this is not true. When we least expect it
something happens that pierces the protective armor prepared by the mind and
rends the heart. This, seemingly, must be a necessity of life because the
Savior points out in Matt 5:4, that “blessed are those who mourn”, this implies
those who suffer or who are chastised that they might be humbled and change
their lives. So it was with Job!!!
It has also
been impressed upon me today that we have been so concerned about finding the
grandparents of Bishop David Evans, that perhaps the cause of the depression
has been precipitated by Lucifer and his influence. As a consequence my
thoughts have been turned from that which is so important to our family and my
progenitors.
