Hello, everyone. Welcome to another follow-in favorites. This is where John and I are sharing a single

story to go with each week's lesson. John, we're in sections 23, 24, 25, and 26 of the Doctrine

and Covenants, and you've told me you have a story. Yeah, Hank, we had a great discussion when we did

these sections.

And one of the little phrases that's here is,

lay aside the things of this world and seek for the things of a better.

And you said something about having apps that you ought to delete.

And it reminded me of a story.

I have a little book called I Still Want to Be an Astronaut by James Perry.

I know James. He's a great guy. Yeah, he's great. He said, I know I talk about Matt Meese a lot,

usually in a good light, but he suggested a corrupt app to me once. It's called Adventure Capitalist,

and you click a button to pretend to start a business, then you click a button to pretend to sell stuff,

then you click a button so the computer clicks the button for you.

That is the entire game, and for some evil reason, it is so addicting because you see your

money go up and up and you can get upgrades.

One upgrade makes you start the whole game over, but this time it goes faster, so you

make money faster, but you have to do the whole thing again. That

way there's no end in sight, and you keep going back to make sure all the buttons are clicked.

There is no skill, and it is the devil. My life changed the day I deleted the app. It was the

bravest thing I did that day, and I was finally free. I couldn't keep going into the app to check it because it wasn't there anymore.

You have to actually delete the app.

You have to commit or your suffering will never end.
