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!!!

1000 Warrior bike race

Because I wasn't there, I'm disappointed that I don't have pictures of Eric's race. There was a big crash that he fortunately was ahead of. I get so nervous about him getting hit by vehicles and had a sigh of relief to know that he wasn’t a part of it. The Brumby cyclists from Mesa couldn’t breathe as easily since a few of their teammates were badly injured. You can check out the news at KSL news website,

All in all, Eric finished 11th place. It’s great to me, but he was disappointed in himself because he knew he was in prepared shape for the race, but didn’t hydrate correctly and cramped due to dehydration. Bum deal, but he’ll redeem himself – always does.
