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!!!

Kami's Birthday

Today we're celebrating 7 years of Kambria's life! She's brought a great deal of laughter, fashion, style, and love to our family. Because Kami loves to be the center of attention and receiving gifts, I think it's appropriate to say that for her 7th birthday she was in 7th Heaven!

This wasn't supposed to be a birthday party year, but I told Kami she could invite a couple friends over to spend the night. Somehow that evolved into bowling, a movie, sleepover, a pinata, and swimming -- sounds like a party to me! We've had a great time!
