Quote of the Day

---

"We . . . need to prepare our own seedbed of faith. To do this we need to plow the soil through daily humble prayer, asking for strength and forgiveness."
by James E. Faust

"Oh, it is wonderful to know that our Heavenly Father loves us — even with all our flaws! His love is such that even should we give up on ourselves, He never will."
Joseph B. Wirthlin - 2007 Oct. Gen. Conf

A Great Quote

QUOTE OF THE DAY:
Gordon B. Hinckley

 
"Teach [your children] tolerance.  They need not surrender their own beliefs while extending tolerance to those with other beliefs.

"Teach them civility toward others.  Conflict between the races will fade when all of us recognize that we are all part of one great family.

"Teach them respect---respect for others, respect for the property of others, respect for the opinions of others, respect on the part of men for women and women for men" (The Teachings of Gordon B. Hinckley, p. 663).

Just a Note & High Flyin Tyson

Hi, just a note to say I've missed posting. I was getting in to the habit pretty well for a while, but then things got really busy at work and I haven't had a chance to really collect my thoughts. Hopefully in a couple of weeks things will settle down a little. Anyway I sure enjoy the other blogs and hope Sarah can get things figured out. She could really come up with some good things to put in it.

Here is Tyson, having fun on his bike for the 1st time this year. He is really excited that he doesn't need the training wheels anymore.

A beautiful dancer

Kiara just competed in a dancing competition in Utah and came in second place in her solo dance.  We are really proud of all the hard work and effort she devotes to her talents.

A fun day last summer.

Scripture and Quote

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY: 2 Nephi 32:7

"And now I, Nephi, cannot say more; the Spirit stoppeth mine utterance, and I am left to mourn because of the unbelief, and the wickedness, and the ignorance, and the stiffneckedness of men; for they will not search knowledge, nor understand great knowledge, when it is given unto them in plainness, even as plain as word can be."

QUOTE OF THE DAY: Lorenzo Snow

"There are some who do not learn and who do not improve as fast as they might, because their eyes and their hearts are not upon God.  They do not reflect, neither do they have that knowledge which they might have; they miss a good deal which they might receive.  We have got to obtain knowledge before we obtain permanent happiness"

At the lake in 2007

Everyone had a great time at the lake last summer. I haven't done much with the photo's, I think I am a little behind.

President Gordon B. Hinckley

"I believe that through His atoning sacrifice, the offering of His life on Calvary's Hill, He expiated the sins of mankind, relieving us from the burden of sin if we will forsake evil and follow Him. I believe in the reality and the power of His Resurrection. I believe in the grace of God made manifest through His sacrifice and redemption, and I believe that through His Atonement, without any price on our part, each of us is offered the gift of resurrection from the dead. I believe further that through that sacrifice there is extended to every man and woman, every son and daughter of God, the opportunity for eternal life and exaltation in our Father's kingdom, as we hearken to and obey His commandments. "
Gordon B. Hinckley - Ensign Jul. 2006
