2 outta 10

2 months down 10 more months to go . . .

PS I just thought this was a cool picture

Open house fo the Almighty . . .

For Shabbat we went up to the Draper Temple open house. It was just wonderful to take the older children through and have a concentrated gospel teaching moment. 

It was really great to show Havalah and J-Bo the sealing room and share with them my testimony of eternal families.

What a blessing that Heavenly Father gives to His children.

In light of our current economy. . .

Goodness is the only investment that never fails.

Henry David Thoreau

Happy Birthday Gid!

Happy First Birthday son! Wow it had been a big first year. You made it though, and I couldn't be happier. What a delight and blessing you have been to the family. There are challenges ahead but you'll do great. Keep it up son, I look forward to many more years with you.

With Love,

Abba

Homework and then some. . .

You might be GWU student if you use three or more applications, including Visio, to complete an assignment. 

I had to diagram a bunch of historically important documents and . . . what's that I am hearing? Snoring?

She's armed and dangerous!

A fork, Pookah uses a fork!

Mom was feeding her breakfast the other morning, eggs and potatoes. She intensely watched the fork as she was fed through most of the meal. Near the end, she politely asked for the fork, stabbed a potato and put it in her mouth like an expert!

Way to go!

Hope in healing past hurt...

I have a simple faith that there is healing after hurt. This intangible faith is confirmed by Scripture. For example, in the New Testament, after almost every record of Messiah teaching the people the narrative states, "He went about healing the people." Apparently, after He got your head on straight He would make sure the rest of you followed.

This pattern was followed when Messiah visited the Americas. After he had taught the people, He invited them to come forward and the third book of Nephi records, "And it came to pass that when he had thus spoken, all the multitude, with one accord, did go forth with their sick and their afflicted, and their lame, and with their blind, and with their dumb, and with all them that were afflicted in any manner; and he did heal them every one as they were brought forth unto him." 

When it says He healed all them that were afflicted in any manner, I believe it includes the concealed wounds not apparent.
