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!!!

Kami's a Graduate!



Today was Kambria's kindergarten graduation ceremony, the best children's program I've ever attended. I wish our video camera worked so I could post some of their songs. Kami had a speaking part: "What has a long nose, big floppy ears and tons of wrinkles?....You guessed it....an elephant!" One year of school completed. Only 20 more to go!

    Dearest Bri, Ale told me about your blog, I love it, you have such gorgeous family! And you are more beautiful than ever. I love how positive your blog is. I must tell you, way back in the day when we played vb together, I remember you said "hate, that's such a horrible word, I hate that word". That's the Bri I remember, and you haven't changed a bit. Karalee, Ale and I miss you lots, so come play vb w/ us next time you're in town. ~Laura (Coquelet)
