ROB is …

Every time I’m reading in the scriptures and I go to you and say, “Isn’t it weird, Rob, when it talks about you?” you always sort of freak out. Those are the times when I see lines mentioned in your patriarchal blessing and things like that. Your potential.
Of course, all of us have great potential. The potential to be Gods and Godesses. So, I decided that I’d stay away from that stuff that scares you a bit and just keep with who and what you are RIGHT NOW. This is my list (not-all-inclusive) of ROB is …
