Maybe and somehow won't make any good.

An old Russian proverb.

Describes the last few nights for me. Having a difficult time with a few things, but the Ruskies have helped me out, and so has this:

Maybe one of you needs it too.


Вре́мя — лу́чший до́ктор

Stand a little Taller

I just wanted everyone to know that I love my Heavenly Parents, and my  brother Jesus Christ.
It's the least cool thing to say out in public (it seems like), but if people can go around talking about the drugs they do, the drunken deboturies, and any other various examples of lack of self respect; well then, I should be able to talk about my beliefs, that lift me higher, without feeling like I am going to offend someone.

To my fellow believers out there and to those who are not, the times they are a changin'. Birds, fish, cows, and all sorts of animals dropping dead everywhere, more natural disasters than ever, wars and rumors of wars (it feels like an M. Night Shyamalan movie). Today does not seem like a day to say "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em," but I tell you that it is. Because I know that the Lord has assured me that WE will win. That light will vanquish the dark, and a new day will dawn. So to those on the other side, feel free to apply said adage to yourselves. You will not win, so you might as well join us.

 I know that if I follow the Lord's plan for me that I will be lead safely down the path that is meant just for me. He loves me, he knows me by name, and he has called me to do his work here on earth. The same goes for each and everyone one of you. I want all of you to know that I love you too, whether we've ever met, or not, you are my brothers and sisters. I am not some crazy Bible girl, though I am a girl crazy about the Bible. I am just trying to live a life that will make me and those around me happy and this is the best way that I have found to do that. If you have any questions, let me know.

So I'll leave you with this diddy:


Know that I am not perfect, but I am trying dang hard to get there :)

Greaaaaaat Iady!

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.

I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someones garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.

I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."


-Marjorie Pay Hinckley


This lovely quote is from a very great women. She showed the world that you can be steadfast and immovable and abounding in love for those around you. That quite actions, and loyalty can make a difference in the world. She was a beautiful mother to five, a dedicated homemaker, and avid learner, and the wife of our dear prophet Gordon B. Hinckley.

                   

She was feisty, strong willed, and could hit a deadpan joke with the best of 'em. She was, and is, an example to all of us striving to be real women. 

The Prophet Gordon B Hinckley in response to the question of what he wanted for his wife, given a few years before they both passed away:

"That we might live together for as long as the Lord wills and that when the time comes for us to move on, that we might go together or very close together, without one lingering a long time after the other. We've lived together for a long time. I hope we'll continue to move on together."
