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!!!

Baseball & Soccer Begin

Saturdays are busy with Eric and I trying to squeeze in some physical fitness of our own before heading out to drop Kami off at soccer and Kaden at baseball. Every week they overlap in times and, of course, do not play at the same location. Should be intersting when Eric goes out of town.

I'll get some pictures of Kami playing soccer with the Blue Dolphins team next week, but here are a couple snapshots of Kaden playing with his Boston Red Sox team today.

For me, baseball is just so slow and looooong. I asked Kaden, "Are you SURE baseball is the sport you really want to play? You have to stand around a lot waiting for action." Mr. Maturity responded, "Yeah, but Mom, it teaches me patience. And it teaches me to wait to use the bathroom." Guess I could use a little patience myself. Maybe I should pick up the sport.
