I had an epiphany today while sitting in the oncologist's office. There's so much talk and paraphernalia about finding cures for cancer. There's bitter talk about why Heavenly Father would allow such suffering. I sat there thinking to myself, No. My heart tells me it's not like that at all! ... Think of the communities and families that have come together to love, serve, and mourn with one another.
Our Father in heaven provides opportunities every day for us to keep his commandments, to follow His ultimate example of serving, loving, caring for His spirit children, our spirit brothers and sisters. I get to experience firsthand on a daily basis how beautiful the hearts of mankind really are.
Turn off the news of contentious politics, crime, and adultery for a bit. You'll find a world of compassion. PLEASE ACCEPT MY GRATITUDE to all those who uplift and show me what leading a Christ-like life is really all about. Loads and loads of LOVE!!!

Family Fort
The kids made this fort yesterday, which Kade and Kami slept in last night. Eric and I laugh at how much they remind us of a married couple all the time.
I'm with you on the baby's name (from Breaking Dawn). Way too tricky to flow well. I liked #3 better. I didn't feel quite the suspense in #4 that I did in #3, but I really liked the last 200 pages or so. It was a twist for me when Alice showed up with the other halfbreed. I was glad she still kept in contact with her dad, too.
