A Dusting of the Cobwebs: Scott Quayle...

A Dusting of the Cobwebs....

welcome to my blog!
...allow me a brief introduction...

In a reacent conversation with my daughter, her questions were why I, and her Dad were so quiet about our lifes? Meaning writing or telling about our own personal historys.

I didn't think there was anything important to write about. As I was just a normal person, getting up in the morning and getting the day started, getting kids off to school, or meeting schedules of the whole family, cleaning house, and landry. Keeping little ones busy, and changing diapers, comming home fixing dinner, helping with homework, putting kids to bed, watch some news, go to bed. And then do it all over again the next day. Then some days was teaching lessons in Primary, RS, MIA, Sundayschool, cub scouts, or helping at schools, ect. Family home evening, Visiting teaching, and even some Home teaching and being the family schaefer. most of the time we had one car, 6 kids, one working husband. Oh yes, the multi years of music lessons, and baseball teams, coaching, and even one major jumproap champion, for one daughter.

We had trials too. some were very hard, just thinking about a single memory of losing our son, brings tears. But we are told that this life is to meet trials, and how we handle them will be for our own eternal growth.

A very wise Stake President, President Alred, once said "We are here to be schooled in the principles of eternity. We will work by the sweat of our brow, to work our way through this life... But remember we are here to be schooled in the principles of eternity."

So, I welcome you to my blog. Please feel free to stay and go as you please, and wander where you wish. And, as always, feel comfortable in sharing those stories that you may feel are just "an every day" thing as well...

Scott Quayle...

A person is probably never ready to get a phone call that a friend has died. You can anticipate, but the feelings always are less than what happens in your heart when you answer that call.

This Morning one of the best men I've known moved beyond this earth, Scott Quayle. For the entire time I served as Bishop, and then many years before my service, Scott served quietly and with dignity to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to others in the world and in action.

A more Christ-like man, I have never known. I will now draw upon his past-time example to live a better life myself. Scott has been a person hero for seven years. That wont change with today's call.....

Brother Scott Quayle died this morning, at his home. from fast moving Cancer. His wife Crissy, will soon follow him in a few weeks, from Cancer to.

They are both very special people, making the world a better place, where ever they happen to be.

Bro. Quayle was always encouraging concerning our daughter Jodie, and her becoming active in church, and going through the Salt Lake Temple. It meant so much to me that he took a personal interest in her.....
