   Years later the findings of this experiment still seem influential in the medical community. In recent years, Dr. Kelli Harding published a book titled "The Rabbit Effect" that takes its name from the experiment. Her conclusion: "Take a rabbit with an unhealthy lifestyle. Talk to it. Hold it. Give it affection. . . . The relationship made a difference. . . . Ultimately," she concludes, "what affects our health in the most meaningful ways has as much to do with how we treat one another, how we live, and how we think about what it means to be human."

Family Proclamation

P2 

All Human Beings - male and female - are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny. Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose.

Inklings

Children can be armed with "the shield of faith wherewith they shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked."

James fixed the boys biscuits and eggs for breakfast. Max and Evan went to Circle K. All of the eggs and biscuits disappeared and then the boys went swimming. I'm sorry I didn't get any pictures of the boys while they were here. James and I indexed and had scriptures and prayers. I had my leftover Mongolian beef and noodles for breakfast. Very tasty! 

I told Addy about the new Harry Potter store in New York which opened yesterday. It is now 10:20. James is taking a nap. The boys are still swimming. My appointment with Stacy is cancelled. For lunch I made Rowan and Joshua each a grilled cheese sandwich. Evan, and Max got burgers and fries from the Splash Grill. I gave Ben the bag of Tostito chips and salsa I bought for Ruby. He ate the chips but left the salsa. I guess he only likes his mom's homemade salsa. James made some chocolate covered strawberries when he got up. Rowan loved them. 

Ben got a job offer today from a mission companion's friend in Utah. He will be helping develop some land with a shooting range and some other outdoor activities. They will pay Ben $20 an hour and he will have free room and board. He is definitely going and will be leaving July 5th.

James and I did some errands this afternoon. We went to Staples to get some drawing supplies for James who is drawing some plans for someone who wants to build some apartments in Mesa. Next we went to Costco to get some walnuts, shakes, and water. After Costco we drove to Phoenix to a Sees candy store to get a box of dark chocolates for Chuck who always feeds Luna when we are gone. A box of dark chocolates costs $30 but Chuck is worth it.

We stopped at a Whataburger for our dinner. Back at the condo the boys were gone swimming. We rested and then headed to Chandler to pick up James's dark suit at the cleaners. It costs a little over $9 to get it cleaned here and $30 in Show Low. The boys contacted us on the way home and placed an order from In n Out Burger. Here was the order: Evan - Double cheeseburger, plain with fries. Joshua - cheeseburger with lettuce, tomatoes, ketchup and pickles. Rowan - A double cheeseburger with lettuce, tomatoes and no pickles. Max - a double cheeseburger plain, and fries. Ben a double cheeseburger with ketchup, onions and pickles and a large chocolate shake. Whew! I said it right and she got it right so we were all happy!

James went to the store to get some eggs, sausage, and bacon for the boys breakfast tomorrow per there request. I walked around the resort for one of my 1,000 steps round. I really do like this place. It feels like our second home. Well maybe our third. I guess Darrel and Trina's is our second.
