Holiness

I love to see the temple
I'm going there someday
 to feel the Holy Spirit
to listen and to pray
For the temple is a House of God
A place of love and beauty
I'll prepare myself
while I am young
this is my sacred duty.

from the Children's Songbook of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
c. 1989, p. 95

    Beautiful! I love all the pictures. Man. You were Nauvoo, and now you're Winter Quarters. You're all about the fancy historical sites aren't you? Those pictures seriously are beautiful. You had great sunlight and gorgeous "models." Yay for Al visiting!

    Great pictures - my parents are currently in the Winter Quarters district so we like to make family trips up there. Hope you're enjoying Nebraska!

    Oh Al. Someday she'll come visit me again too! I can't get over how cute Hallie is, nice job, and we sing that song to the boys every night.

    Bye now!

    Did you pose Halley so you could put the pictures to the song or did you think of using the pictures with words to the song after you were home? It totally captures the feeling! Maybe this will be a career change for Al. A primary song music video is next!

ThanksGIVEaway

This giveaway is now CLOSED. In a week we will find ourselves feasting with family and friends.  We will reflect on and share with each other the good things in life that we are grateful for.  And I think that's great, to give thanks. My heart lately though has been leaning in a slightly different direction, I've felt an emphasis on a different part of the name of next week's holiday.  My heart is filled with gratitude to people who have reached out in love, sympathy, and support when they see others in need..  Those who have voiced prayers, and kind thoughts and words on our behalf, and on behalf of people seeking comfort everywhere.  The people who have watched children, sent flowers, made meals, and done so much more to try and ease burdens.  And my thankful heart wants to GIVE back to these people, as a small way of saying Thank You. So today I present you with my ThanksGIVEaway.  You know those big fancy blogs that are sponsored by corporat...

Haven't Been Posting

Image
Well, I haven't gotten on my computer much lately, and most of you are probably angry with me because I haven't been answering my phone either. (I know, I know, you hate it when I do that.) This really isn't the way I wanted to do this, but I think it's going to be a while before I manage to get everyone called, and maybe this will make you not hate me so much. This is the main reason I've been so sick and tired lately: This, and I've just plain been sick this week. It's no fun when you're not allowed to take anything! (Ok, I know it's never fun to be sick, but please pity me. Please?) :) So, look for Baby Rose #2 January 20th, 2010!!! YIKES.
