Fight Abortion Petition

Below is a link to a petition to fight the Freedom of
Choice Act which president elect Obama is on the record as stating will be the first piece of legislation he signs into law. FOCA would establish the right to abortion as a fundamental right (like the right to free speech) and wipe away every restriction on abortion nationwide. It will eradicate state and federal abortion laws that the majority of Americans support and prevent states from enacting similar protective measures in the future.
Please take a minute to sign this petition and then FORWARD to your friends and family. We know from past experiences that a STRONG voice to our government officials is not easily ignored. As we petition heaven for the unborn, let's put action to our prayers and sign this petition as an act of faith. Please read the expert analysis by
Americans United for Life (AUL) and sign the Fight FOCA petition at: http://www.fightfoca.com/
Thank you!
Pass it on!

I am so sad


You would think that I would have posted something by now. Big things have been going on. Haybear turned 13 WAY BIG!!! our trip to San Diego, and even my new haircut. Which I didn't like at first It was a lot shorter then I asked for.
Why no post?
My memory card died. I am not even sure what happened. 260 pics and no way to see them. Everything tells me unreadable. I can't believe that that happened. I could cry.
Lets face it I can take pictures of sunny CA anytime, but Haybear will only turn 13 one time in her life. That one breaks my heart. No cake, no gifts, no fun times with the family to remember.
Cross your fingers with me that I can find a great IT WIZ that can fix the card for me and save those memories.

Called to Serve


Matthew 4:19 ... Follow me and I will make you fishers of men.

Last night the youth of our stake went down town to temple square to the Called to Serve program. We went on a tour of the Temple grounds and learn new history about the pioneers. Did you know on the Assemble Hall there is one spire that does not have a point. It used to be a chimney. Look for it the next time you are there.
After we went into the north visitor center for a video on serving a mission and heard testimonies on the work. Sweet sisters from all over the world sharing their testimonies of the gospel, and their the love of the lord.
It was wonderful. The spirit was so strong and the sister were great. They help the youth know and understand that their Heavenly father loves them so much.
They help me know that my Heavenly Father loves me. It is something I still need to hear. It is still something I want to be told. Who doesn't want to be told I love you. When those words come from the Lord its even better.
It is so nice to know that our Father in Heaven loves us so much that he sent is son even Jesus Christ to this earth to show us the way home and to atone for our mistakes. That knowledge makes life just a little easier.
Giving that knowledge to our youth will only help them to come through temptation and be the better for it. It will help them to stand up and go forward with this truth to all the world.
How grateful I am to be a witness to this great work.

Don't forget to VOTE

"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled,
public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and
controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed
lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of
living on public assistance."

Cicero , 55 BC

Bigger than you

Waves crash endlessly upon the shore. The heat of summer is relieved by the cool winds of autumn, then winter, then spring and summer again and again in an ever-repeating cycle.
The forces that make it all happen and keep it all going are truly awesome. Though they can be explained and understood to a degree, they are impossible to fully comprehend.

In this life there is much that you can influence, much that you can do, and much that you can accomplish. Even so, there are many other things about which you can do nothing but accept, experience and stand in awe.

Sometimes the best thing to do with life is allow yourself to feel its wonder and beauty. Sometimes it is helpful and even comforting to remember that there are things you can never change.

For by acknowledging what you cannot do, you more fully appreciate and utilize those things you can do. By accepting and valuing that life is bigger than you, your own perspective is greatly enhanced.

Life is rich and varied and awesome beyond anything you can ever imagine. So go ahead and accomplish all you can imagine, for when you're done there's always room for more.
