Let's Have a Look-See

I didn't forget my challenge to find God's hand in my life, but time gets away from me. So I have two this week.  My son wrote me an email about his feelings about church. While I respect his thoughts, I was overcome with sadness as he talked of not being able to forgive his leaders and the Church for some mistakes that gave been made.  I realized that his judgment of these things was a lack of faith in the Atonement of Jesus Christ. He will take care of all the injustices of the world. Its not our responsibility.  I felt a need to respond to his email and as I typed, I felt the words come from God's hand. No doubt in my mind that those words were not my own and more of a testimony for me than for him.  The second one has to do with my Ward Choir. I have this young couple leading it. They choose a song that did not get approved for our assignment to sing in Stake Confrence. They were a little bent out of shape. I didn't hear from them for a few days and was worried t...

It's a new year. I was watching Music and the Spoken Word this morning. I would like to take the challenge to See God's Hand and record it.  I had a new student this week; a second grader from Mexico.  Every time I have a New Comer I know how hard the first weeks are for these little people. I try and make them comfortable, but I only see them 2 times in a day. As this child came to the New Comer group I was touched as the other students welcomed him and befriended him. As he left, He turned a gave me a hug, but it wasn't me it was the kindness of the other students.  Kindness begins with me

We paid our respects to Grandma Hall.  Her children were all there (Joseph has already passed away). None of them really talked about her.  All of mine made it. It was a miricle. All their flights were on schedule. So happy to be with them even it was only for 24 hours. I was proud of them too. They talked to people and were very polite.  Here are all their cousins.  A few didn't make it due to the Southwest Airline fiasco this week and others just couldn't get here. They get along well with each other. I'm so jealous of my kids. I have two cousins.  The pallbearers represented her sons families. Joseph's son Joseph, Mike's son Thain, Pete's boys Chris and David, Wes's boys Keith and Todd and Rich's sons Peter and James. So many honorary pallbearers.  Kinda funny to me.  Happy to see Andrea. We need a chat. My kids were also able to visit with my parents. It...
