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!!!

New Years Eve

When the clock struck midnight, we had just finished a game of Settlers with Cory, Anders and our great friends Chris and Chelsea. It got a bit competitive, to say the least. It was so much "fun" that we decided to play another game, this time a crazy game of Dominoes. Competitive spirits surged and at 2:30 am when the game ended, we were more than happy to call it a night. What? You want to know who won? Well, you didn't hear this from me, but I won the game of Settlers and Chelsea rocked the Dominoes game! Girls Rule, Boys Drool! We love you, guys!
