There is no doubt I saw what I saw, and it was not good. I was scrolling on my cell phone the other day and switched over to play a few games of Block Blast. It doesn’t hurt to decompress the mind a bit and just relax with a game that doesn’t require any thinking or personal decisions, right?

Hundreds of good and blessed years had passed from the time Jesus had visited his sheep of another fold(1) when things began to disintegrate and the people divided into factions and slid into darkness, finally uniting into two opposing nations, and war prevailed. Mormon however remained faithful to God, and although young was appointed to lead the armies of the Nephites. As the record reveals, their lands had become full of thieves and robbers and murderers and magic arts and witchcraft - nevertheless Mormon led them to a series of costly military victories. Yet they did not repent, and he saw that although his people began to mourn and sorrow and lament, “their sorrowing was not unto repentance, because of the goodness of God, but it was rather the sorrowing of the damned…”(2).
So back in the day just prior to the COVID outbreak in 2020 I finished out part of the basement adding a TV room and a walk-in closet for all of our out-of-season clothes and extra storage. I finished all but the clothes racks to hang the clothes on when COVID hit and three of my children moved back into my home. So, in looking where to put them all my oldest said she would take my closet as her bedroom. I hesitantly agreed, thinking I shouldn’t have made this closet so big. Soon after she found a place and moved out only to have another daughter to lay claim to my future closet and make it her bedroom as well…ugg. After a while, she moved out and got married and now has two beautiful children.
On May 9, 2023, our community came to the polls and approved a $16.6 million bond issue as an investment in our local school system. This commitment supports our Greenback students in their journey to become successful, contributing members to society who find their purpose and passion. As we finish up our final project, the construction of a new transportation/maintenance facility and grounds, I want to give a recap of the process leading up to the bond vote and an overview of the improvements for our school system.
