A name and a blessing

Braden Tate Bishop
Blessed by his father Richard Thomas Bishop on June 14, 2009
Others in the circle: Dean Bishop, Christopher Gordon, Matt Mortenson, Jason Smith, Cory Killpack, Bishop Livingston, & Karl Jenks On June 14th, Rich gave Braden a name and a blessing. We blessed Braden on our last Sunday in Arizona because Rich's family was in town and we were surrounded by all of our wonderful friends in the Campobello Ward. It was definitely a crazy day for many reasons: we had guests in our house, most of our belongings were packed for the move, it was our last Sunday in the ward, I had to speak in church, and we decided to have Braden's blessing. Despite, the craziness, it was a wonderful day. Rich gave Braden a blessing in which he was blessed with many sweet things. A few that stood out to me were that through the course of his life he could have the desire to have the spirit to be with him. He was blessed to have good friends, look for opportunities to serve, and to be an influence for good. It was a very tender moment to listen to this beautiful blessing.
