How could you do this to me

This helped me tremendously over the past year or so it helps me when I sometimes feel sad. I like the wording of this perhaps better than any other video. "How could you do this to me...thank you my Gardner for cutting me down. I've had a "broken heart with bitterness in my soul". And because of this bitterness I can appreciate being cut down and being loved enough to be hurt.

John 15:2  Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

Consider this when you are 'cut down'.

Doctrine and Covenants 122:9

9 Therefore, hold on thy way, and the priesthood shall remain with thee; for their bounds are set, they cannot pass. Thy days are known, and thy years shall not be numbered less; therefore, fear not what man can do, for God shall be with you forever and ever.

Some of my favorite quotes

"Curing does not come automatically though the passage of time but it does take time. Getting older does not do it alone, it is serving God and others consistently with full heart and soul that turns testimony of truth into unbreakable spiritual strength" Henry B. Eyring

When I have tried all my life to be good why has this happened to me?

I was sent this video by my brother Vince Covino when I was down into a deep depression. I remember it perfectly as if it were yesterday. I was in the Dallas airport, I was by my self traveling back from Florida, there were people around me sitting next to me and across from me and looking at me as I watched this video on my phone and cried silently as tears ran down my cheeks, much like I'm doing now, as I began to realize there is so many things to be grateful for most of all family both wife and children and also brothers and sisters.

Well, construction is well under way in the new Idaho Aquarium. The good news is we have had a lot of donations. most recently its been L.W. Johnson construction. He donated all of the paint labor. He showed up got is guys working, spent some time talking to us then took off.

Family Pics Ammon Covino

Here is Amy Covino running around with her shirt over her eyes at the Aquarium store. She was literally running around in circles and laughing all the way. I kept telling her was going to fall down but she did not seem to mind. I some video of this as well it is so funny. This was just when the Aquarium store was brand new open so some of the shelves are still being stocked. I built the store to give me something to do while the Idaho Aquarium was in development. I ended up selling the store about a year after it was opened because we started to get very busy with the Idaho Aquarium project.

























Here is Carrie Covino teaching Amy how Ammon makes corals grow in the Aquarium store just liek they do in the ocean.
