Welcome to part two of this week's podcast.

I'm going to tell you another story. I had a good friend that had a really unfair situation

happened to her. She was married to BYU about the time that Chris and I got married.

And we managed to see in contact. I think we didn't have cell phones anymore. But even

though we lived in different states, we remained friends and had some contact here and

there anyway. Even visited them a little bit. They had a bunch of kids too. So our kids

were about the same age. And then her husband, who was in a seminary and institute program

in another state, this was a long time ago, had him affair with one of his students

and left the family. And he left them in terrible financial circumstances. I mean, horrible.

There were bad taxes that were owed. They didn't own a home of their own. They were staying

in a home of a couple that were on a mission. So he had all these kids and he never paid

a penny of Aaron Roni or Charles support. And the woman that he left for was wealthy.

So pretty soon he was driving a truck and he ended up with this new wife in a place

where the family had previously lived. So occasionally she would get some news from

a friend. This was a few years after the divorce. But she was still in very different

circumstances. Now talking about tender mercies, she had been really inspired to renew her

teaching credentials just before all this happened. And so she was able to get a job

that provided income and benefits, which was a miracle because she had a this large family

and no help from their father. And you know what God says about that in the New Testament

that he who doesn't take care of wife and children has worse than an infidel. You know,

adults don't even believe, you know, at all. And God's so pretty serious to God. And

this was her for circumstance. And it was bitter. It was a bitter, bitter circumstance.
