Summer, a long awaited season, is finally here! On Tuesday the 2nd of June was the last day of school. That means that I am also finished teaching early morning seminary until the fall.
Upon coming home from seminary on my last day, I am greeted by my four year old son who is playing with his action heros in the living room. He greets me with a overly appropriate, "Hi Daddy! Welcome to Earth!" At the time I just laughed an thought not to much about it. But what my son said to me really was true, and has meant several things to me over the last couple of days.
I love teaching seminary. I spend a couple of hours every day preparing and teaching my lessons. I get to be deeply rooted in the study of the scriptures on a daily basis. This has helped me avoid the "world" on many levels. Since I now don't have to prepare lessons every day, I fall risk to losing that protection. Along with my wife we are working hard to continue our efforts and not become prey to the vices of the world.
We live on such a beautiful Earth and summer is my favorite time to enjoy it. I look forward to spending lots of time with my family during this season.
