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!!!

Simi Visitors

What a wonderful surprise to have Tiffany and Martha join the Speases, Prevosts and Steenes for a day of cooking and friendship! If it warms my kitchen, you know it warms my heart! The only complaint I had is that their stay was so short. The whirlwind visit made us homesick for our Simi family.

Tiff, Bre, Bri, Marcella, Margaret, Martha
