Howdy!
My new friend Ray Hinton had purchased tickets to a political gathering this afternoon in Apache Junction. He and his wife Lorrie couldn't attend, so offered the tickets to us. So, against his protest, I purchased the tickets, and Jan and I went. I felt or sensed that it was something we should do. The whole affair seemed rather lame, but then finally J.D. Hayworth showed up, along with Sherrif Joe Arpaio . . . and then right before we left Jeff Smith appeared. Jeff is running for Congress, and we met a month or so ago at the gym. I had offered to help with his campaign, and he had both called and emailed, but I had failed to respond - and here we were face to face!
He was very forgiving and non-judgemental, and I confessed that I needed to do something. I also told him that I thought he was in an uphill battle against Jeff Flake, a very popular congressman. He assured me that he could win. Anyway, I gave him my new email address, and he said he would send me a list of homes to visit in our neighborhood. I am obviously busy, but believe this would be a valuable exercise, and prove fruitful in a number of ways. So I am glad that we went, glad that we met up with Jeff again, and look forward to venturing into uncharted waters.
Meanwhile, I worked on the model for several hours this morning, and got a significant amount done - only to have my computer lock up on me and lose at least half of what I had done. Never fear. Because I lost certain things, and will have to do them over, I've decided to change one of the details, to make it a bit more refined and interesting - closer to the original, in fact. So, in the end it is a good thing, and I will get the practice of redoing something that was quite tricky. I have to say that I love what I'm doing. I am creating some beautiful sculpture in the form of an exotic historic building. I'd have to say that this is 'my thing!' I can't wait to see the "physical" outcome!
I also continued to read and study Joseph Murphy's book, along with Dan Brown's newest novel, The Lost Symbol. It is amazing how much truth he has uncovered, while at the same time reaching some erroneous conclusions. His fascination in the book is precisely that about which I have written in The Secret of Life: the intersection or corroboration of "the ancient mysteries, science, and scripture." That is precisely what my book is about. The only caveat is that I include modern or latter-day scripture, as well as ancient scriptural texts (Old and New Testaments).
Well, I've used a great deal of energy this week, and I'm going to retire for the day. I have two lessons to teach tomorrow - one to the eight year old's, and another to the High Priests. Should be fun - as always. Life is good, and I am continually grateful. It gets better every day! Tomorrow is no exception!
Good night!
Mr. Wright
