"I see a light at the end of the tunnel, I just hope it's not another train!"
Maria said Mark is just not sure exactly what to do with his life. I surely know that feeling.
After graduating and working as a teacher for one year I contemplated changing my career to bookkeeping because I really did not like teaching. Of course, it was in my junior year when I jumped from an accounting major to teaching because I could not understand the slide rule. So hard to know what to really do with the rest of your life.
Maria is tending the children and hoping to win the 10 million from Publisher's Clearing House. Yes, I used to follow that faithfully and then I realized they were quite deceptive and they made you think you were so close to winning and so you keep sending in the papers or whatever. When I finally realized it was very deceptive, I wrote them a letter and told them so and cancelled my subscription to Reader's Digest and have never read it again.
Maria said there was a man in their ward named Richard Hardy...such a common name. Maria had a cute phrase I have not heard before but makes you wonder...
"I see a light at the end of the tunnel, I just hope it's not another train!" "the story of our lives, huh" she said. I do know that feeling!!
I wish them well and ourselves, we are in deep trouble, too.

Tragedy close to home.
We had a very nice Vietenamese gardener named Nhan Trinh for our Rancho Bernardo home and this happened to his younger brothers. He was a broken man when he came to work one day and shared what happened. We found the complete article in the paper.
I watched Richard as he took him in his arms and tried to soothe him with the truth of the Gospel and eternal life. So very tragic.
I knew that the young people jumped from this cliff but most of them were local surfers and experienced swimmers. I have never heard of anyone else dying from the jump but, of course, people do have problems in the churning surf all the time.
