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!!!

OCTOBER

  • Halloween was fun as always. This year we had Anakin, Supergirl, Batman & an Adorable Witch
  • We also made an unexpected trip to AZ when the San Diego fires broke out. Below are photos that were taken from our front porch the first morning of the fires. Needless to say, school and work were cancelled and we were told to stay indoors. Breathing was dangerous outdoors so we had to stay couped up inside all day. When the news reported no sign of fire control and we got a voluntary evacuation call from the city, that's all we needed to pack up the car and head out of town. We're always looking for a good excuse to play with extended family anyhow. ;)
