Strange Fantasies
What’s something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail. So I’ve talked about Brigham Young elsewhere on my blog. I remain impressed by the fact that he had 50+ wives and 50+ children. The desire for a lot more kids and the wealth to afford them is a very selfish one. Still…
