I live 3 hours South of the Medford Oregon Temple and 2 hours North of the Feather River Temple in Yuba city CA. We probably don’t deserve a temple in our nearby city as we only have 2 Stakes in the local area. And I doubt we could keep it busy enough even considering the draw from outlying smaller communities. But my patriarchal blessing says I will spend many hours officiating in the temple and performing genealogy work. I plan to continue taking community call and working for another 10 years before I retire. So it would be prohibitive for me to fulfill the blessing unless a temple is built here within the next 10 years. It will happen.

Amazing how well the traditional seder can be slightly modified to include the gospel knowledge of the dispensation of the fulness of times. We cheated this year and my daughter baked a German Chocolate Cake. The coconut is very traditional though. My children have been talking about the Afikoman for weeks. We watched three movies today. Joseph: King of Dreams The Prince of Egypt The Ten Commandments Good stuff.

These guys too.

I've done a bit of research on the wounds. If you wanted to put nails in a secure location without breaking the bones then one would go in-between the 3rd and 4th metacarpal and depend upon the transverse metacarpal ligaments to prevent tearing. The second would go between the distal radius and ulna and depend upon the DRUJ (Distal Radial ulna joint) for support. The side spear wound would have to go into the 9-10 or 10-11 intercostal space and be large enough to drain the plural effusion. In the above x-ray you can see the plural effusion on the left side of the image (the patients right) where the water has totally displaced the lung so that it can no longer inflate. Christ's physical death was likely due to asphyxiation secondary to the scourging & crucifixion. the artist's depiction of the side wound above is way to small and pretty. The soldier must have been pretty good at his work if he drained the effusion with a single thrust. John 19:34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. John 20:27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. This is what we use to drain plural effusions in the hospital. And this needs to be emptied... This is the normal color of a plural effusion. The nail in the foot is also a curiosity. Most of the time you see artists display the Lord with a nail thru the arch of the foot (highly unlikely). This is a heel bone (Calcaneus) that was found in Israel There is ample literary evidence for Roman crucifixions (ie. Josephus, Plautus, Senneca). Archaeological evidence for Roman crucifixion was unearthed in 1968. That year, a construction crew accidentally dug up several tombs in northeast Jerusalem. Inside the tombs were several ossuaries, including one inscribed with the name Jehohanan (Yehohanan), which contained skeletal remains of an adult male, including his heel bone with a nail still embedded in it. The anthropologist who examined the remains determined that Jehohanan had been in his twenties when he was crucified in the first century (ca. AD 7-66). Further study has revealed that Jehohanan had likely been crucified with a leg on either side of the cross and the nail driven in sideways through his heel. https://biblearchaeologyreport.com/2021/04/02/top-ten-discoveries-related-to-jesus/ I have personally placed many calcaneal traction pins. You can do it without breaking the bone. A nail placed from dorsal to plantar thru the arch of the foot would be unstable, likely causing a metatarsal fracture and would cause the ankle to roll over and supinate. Most common use of a calcaneal traction pin nowadays. External fixator for tibia pilon fracture.

Thanks, yeah makes a big difference. Robins are everywhere. Cardinals are mostly on the Eastern half of the USA. vs

Not my Joseph Hail to the man.

Not my Jesus. https://www.theartnewspaper.com/2024/02/02/effeminate-image-of-jesus-sparks-culture-war-in-spain Notice how the artist totally missed the wrist nail wounds. It’s like he didn’t even read the text. He probably just recalled the stories of his youth and is trying make Jesus Christ into his perceived perfect person. Unfortunately, its a common mistake.

It really confuses me when I walk around BYU campus and see effeminate males. Are we reading the same text?

Alma 48: 17 Yea, verily, verily I say unto you, if all men had been, and were, and ever would be, like unto Moroni, behold, the very powers of hell would have been shaken forever; yea, the devil would never have power over the hearts of the children of men. Im pretty sure that Mormon named his son Moroni based off the reasoning of the above verse. Captain Moroni is a great example of manhood. The best example is Christ. Unfortunately, many artists, directors, and writers have portrayed Christ as a weak gentle man with feminine characteristics. He was not. The Book of Mormon give us a lens to better understand the masculinity of Christ.

We got another one. My wife was following him prior to his baptism. He loved the temple open houses. Our clear communication. And Robins (the birds).

One of my favorite side dishes. Charoset - Fruit, nuts, and spices, meant to represent the mortar that the Israelites were forced to use to build the egyptian cities. My plan for this year: Gala Apple, Pear (chopped & strained) Roasted nuts (Pistachios, pecans, pine) Ginger, cinnamon stick, anise, salt, pepper Dates, Figs, Prunes, Currants Honey, apricot jam Pomegranate / grape juice Lemon juice & zest It’s good on the lamb sandwich and as a topping with the Matzah bread (crackers). Do people really eat sodium free crackers?

You probably need to get out more. (should have strike-thru formatting) I have a very diverse group of clientele. It takes quite a bit to surprise me now though. As I am quite seasoned. Hope to retire in 10 years. Me, “You did what!?” Edit, I mis-read your reply. Us old / experienced guys have seen some stuff.

When people don't follow directions and then complain that the recipe was terrible. https://www.boredpanda.com/bad-recipe-substitutions-reviews-complaints/ This happens in the church too. And with my patients…

https://californiagrown.org/recipes/winter-stew-with-tri-colored-carrots/ I also made this last week while looking for more common passover recipes. The prunes were better than expected. I also added some figs.
