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!!!

What is this?!!!

We're driving home from the movie theater last night. (Took the kids to see G-Force...pretty cute.) I look in my visor mirror to apply some lip gloss and what to my utter dismay do I find? A white hair! Like that wasn't bad enough, this hair had the gall to stand on it's own, flying free from my ponytail. I'm still in shock about it. I couldn't throw it out. It's zipped up in my purse as a reminder that my 30th birthday is approaching. Did my hair turn white from age or stress? Certainly I can't think of any reason to have been sressed in the past year. ;) I'm not old. I'm attributing it to that. I can be as stubborn as my hair!
