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!!!

Hold the Goat

When asked what he learned at church, Gavin said they talked about hold the goat. It took a little bit, but we figured out he was saying the Holy Ghost. He had us giggling all afternoon over that one. Then he came home from preschool so excited to share that he can hoop-a-loop (hula-hoop) all by himself.

You've gotta love toddlers. I never tire of hearing what they have to say!
