'As a Little Child'
President Jeffrey R. Holland
"Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven."
I had an appointment with Dr. Brady this morning. He will be my new primary care physician. Because of Dennis I was able to get in to see Dr. Brady.
Dr. Brady put me on a new blood pressure regimen. 10 mg of Amlodipine instead of 5, 50 mg of Metoprolol instead of 100 and 350 mg of Valsartan instead of 100 of Losartan. I will come back in two weeks to check how I am doing.
The doctor is very friendly and proactive. I think I am going to like him. His brother lives in Sheri's ward in Chandler although she says she doesn't know him.
I went to Walmart and got my new prescription and then headed home. When I got home James was gone with Chuck to visit a new couple in the ward, the Sandoval's. When he got home we got ready and left for the valley. It was 12:30.
We stopped at the Burger King in Show Low for lunch and then at my request James turned onto the 260 to go through Payson. The other side of Heber we had to stop for road construction for a few minutes. We also stopped at the Circle K in Payson for gas and a free Polar Pop and Gatorade.
The first place we stopped in the valley was Sheri's. James realized he needed something at Home Depot. I went with him to the one in south Chandler. Back at Sheri's I dropped James off and headed for the Chandler Walmart on Arizona Avenue. I returned the jeans I bought in Show Low and tried to find a size larger in this Walmart but they didn't even have Levi capri jeans at this one. I bought some black sweats and a pair of cheap black tennis shoes.
Sheri called and asked if Dad and I wanted In n Out Burgers and I said yes. She took my order and when I drove up to her house James was outside chomping on his burger. Sheri brought mine out to me. We finished eating in the car. James wanted to drive past the "burn house" which we did. All that is left of the house are the outside walls. On to Kim & Brian's.
I refreshed myself in Joe's bathroom and then the four of us were on our way to Joshua's performance at Chandler Center for the Arts.
The show starts at 6:30 and we were just a few minutes early. We met up with Stacy & Paul and we all sat together.
I'm not sure what to say about the show. I guess the parts were written by the seniors themselves. The performances were "raw."
It was a takeoff on "The Wizard of Oz." Joshua was the scarecrow who wanted to sing but was told he couldn't by Dorothy. I really thought his performance was the best with the wicked witch of the west a distant second.

Stephanie Likes is the drama teacher at Chandler High. Her mother was Stacy's fifth grade teacher and Stephanie was a year behind. Mrs. Likes and her husband were at the performance too. A blast from the past.
We left at intermission and so did Kim and Brian. Joshua's part was over and we are driving home tonight. It was 7:30 when we left. The weather is absolutely gorgeous this time of night in Chandler. We enjoyed the walk back to our car.
James had a difficult time sitting but somehow he did it and we made it home at 11:00. Tom was happy to see us. He was outside since we left. He came in and ran through the house. He slept at the foot of our bed. James is hurting. We make it to bed around midnight.
I got a text from Joshua. Basically he thanked us for coming and said he knew it was a sacrifice and he really appreciated it and that he loves us. It was sweet and I texted him back telling him I thought his performance was the best and that we loved him too.
Such a handsome guy!
