✨ What an incredible day! ✨

We had such an amazing event today. Over the last few months, our clients have been gathering donations to hand out to individuals experiencing homelessness — and seeing it all come together was truly beautiful. ❤️

One of our clients was so moved that they started to cry! KSL TV did news special did on the event. We’re honored, grateful, and inspired by the compassion our clients have on our community.

📯 It’s Been a Minute… or Several Months

I haven’t posted in ages. Partly because I don’t get much traction here—Facebook feels like yelling into a canyon: echoing back, but mostly just to myself. Meanwhile, my wife posts a video of me whacking away at a tree with a chop saw like a lumberjack on a deadline, and it racks up thousands of views. 🤷‍♂️

Moral of the story: people love a man with a chainsaw, not a keyboard.

But today I’m stepping back into the arena—not to cut down trees, but to carve out a thought.

Why do you do it?!
I get this question all the time.

"Why serve people with disabilities? With all the regulations, late-night texts, audits, meltdowns, Medicaid rules, and the occasional flying shoe—how do you keep doing it?"

Well… because...in D&C 58:8, and it hit me like a compliance visit on a Friday at 4:59 PM:

“That a feast of fat things might be prepared for the poor; yea, a feast of fat things, of wine on the lees well refined…”

What even is that? Church wine with a Costco membership?

Here’s what I found:
Wine on the lees is wine that has been aged while sitting on the sediment—dead yeast, grape skins, seeds—that settled at the bottom of the wine barrel during fermentation.
It’s not rushed. Not cheap. Not processed for speed.

And I thought… that’s us.
That’s the work.
It’s messy and slow and sometimes isn't appreciated by most of society. It’s the stuff that settles to the bottom and is often disregarded, but if refined, It’s rich, deep, refined—most expensive wine meant for sacred celebrations.

Then verse 11 really sealed it:

“Then shall the lame, and the blind, and the deaf, come in unto the marriage of the Lamb…”

THE LAME, AND THE BLIND, AND THE DEAF.
(Yes, I’m yelling. With love.)

They are the honored guests.
They are why we do this.
We’re not just checking boxes—we’re setting the table for the marriage supper of the Lamb.

And as Elder Neal A. Maxwell so perfectly said:

“Some of those who have required much waiting upon in this life may be waited upon again by the rest of us in the next world—but for the highest of reasons.”

Those we serve today—those who require so much care, so much patience, and so much love—may one day be those we look up to, learn from, and even serve for the noblest of reasons in the eternities.

So yeah, we do it for the paperwork and the IEP meetings...
But mostly—we do it for the wine on the lees well refined,
and for the lame, and the blind, and the deaf,
who will one day lead us to our seats at the Lord’s own feast. 🍷💛

A Poem for Geniel: Celebrating Five Wonderful Years with Buddies4life!

Five years have passed, yet it feels like just the start,
Geniel, you’ve touched our hearts in every part.
With your smile, your laughter, your joyful way,
You remind us of life’s beauty, day by day.

Through every challenge, you’ve shown us your grace,
Your spirit shines bright, lighting up the space.
Our oldest and dearest, a friend so true,
We celebrate you today, for all that you do.

From the first moment, we knew you were one of a kind,
A soul with a heart so gentle and kind.
We’ve watched you grow, we’ve shared in your journey,
And every moment with you is a treasured memory.

Tresa and I, we’ve made it our mission,
To provide a home filled with love and compassion,
For those who need care, support, and a hand,
Like you, Geniel, a star in this land.

So here’s to you, our sweet Geniel dear,
With gratitude, joy, and endless cheer.
Five years of joy, and many more to come,
We’re so proud of all that you’ve become.

Thank you for being the heart of our lives,
For filling each day with love that thrives.
Here’s to your journey, forever bright,
We’ll walk beside you, in every light.

Happy 5th anniversary, Geniel—our treasured one!
