Bree Swenson

Bree Swenson Last night i was explaining to my friend how painful it is to laugh after a surgery. :) I had my gall bladder out (nothing like donating a kidney, i'm sure) and the day after my surgery, my parents were out, so it was just me and my siblings at dinner, and my little brother's best friend. they were being their usual co...medic selves, since we come from a very nonsensical family. :) and i was trying to hard not to laugh because it hurt so bad. i found myself doing that squeal you described in "the Tour de Family" which made me laugh even harder. :) my sister also recently had surgery, much bigger than a gall bladder being removed, but we all tried so hard not to say anything funny so as not to cause her pain (my pain is funny, even to me. but hers is not. she's too sweet to cause pain. :)) anyway, we failed of course. :) and she did the same squeal. :) you've inspired a family of squealers over here!!! lol

          Morgen Dean Fry

          Morgen Dean Fry Help! Can anybody tell me the name of the John Bytheway talk where he talks about picking up a stick. He compares one end to the choices we make, the other end is the consequence and how we can't pick up one end without picking up the other.

          Stacee Gutierrez Dear Brother Bytheway... I'm so grateful for your talks! I've been faithfully listening to your talks for over 10 years and you have a way of breaking down all the 'noise' and like an arrow... shooting your message strait to our hearts. Sounds cheesy but it's the only metaphor I could think of to describe how your ta...lks have helped me so much throughout the years! We appreciate you very much!

          Brenna Jarvis here's hoping this gets read. how does a person invite you to speak in their stake? i love the way you communicate and as a seminary teacher i use some of your analogies to help the kids understand and relate to things. i know they would be thrilled if you could come to a seminary devotional sometime or if you are goin...g to be in the Independence Missouri area soon, i'd like to know. thnx Sis. Jarvis
