I recently heard a song on the radio that made me stop, and reflect, and smile. In a world so filled with anger and bitterness and anti-religious sentiments, I found this a welcome refuge from the storm. I Saw God Today, by George Straight, is a song about a man who stops to notice all [...]

“All about us there are many who are in need of help and who are deserving of rescue. Our mission in life, as followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, must be a mission of saving. There are the homeless, the hungry, the destitute.” ~President Gordon B. Hinckley, “Our Mission of Saving,” Ensign, Nov. 1991, 59 [...]

A friend directed me to this wonderful tribute to President Hinckley. It was done by Glenn Beck, a conservative talk show host who is LDS. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPaZ65FDBAA Very touching!

Another Christmas gone by, and I feel bit strange about it this year. We really didn’t have much in the bank for presents, and made the smart decision not to use the credit card this year. We got the kids 2 things each, which is less than we’ve ever done. Oddly, though, they were all [...]
Veteran’s Day

I love Veteran’s Day! I think it is so very important to celebrate and remember those who have fought and those that have given it all, for us to be safe and free. I have veterans of Vietnam and Korea and both World Wars in my family. Before he died in 1997, my grandpa was [...]
What amazing friends!

I’ve never heard of a group of friends such as the ones I have. We have been friends since high school, which makes it about 12 years or so now. Despite our distance from each other, at times, we have managed to stay extremely close. I would say we are really family. Through the years, [...]

Yesterday was Genevie’s 1st birthday! Holy cow, that came so fast! It really doesn’t feel like it’s been a year since she was born. But, it has. Now she’s climbing and walking and trying to talk. It’s crazy how fast the time goes by! But, I love it all! Genevie is so wonderful and I [...]
I am a Child of God

Yesterday brought to mind the famous line from the movie “Gone With the Wind”, “I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.”There have been many, many Sundays where it is just the kids and me at church, without Adam. While this can be extremely aggravating, I do my best to go and do the [...]
Genevie Walks!

On Sunday, during Sacrament meeting, Genevie stood up and took a step all by herself! Everyone in the family saw it and it was very exciting! She’s since done it some more, but no more than two steps at a time. She’s very shaky on those legs. But she keeps trying, and she’ll be going [...]
7 years!

Well, today is Adam’s and my 7th wedding anniversary. Sometimes it just doesn’t seem like that much time could have passed so quickly! It seems like it wasn’t that long ago that we were in high school. But now, we have 4 beautiful children, and we celebrate 7 years! Gosh I feel old.
