General Conference

General Conference is coming to your town shortly, sounds good doesn't it? When I read this quote it gave me renewed faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
"The Lord has given some marvelous guarantees without any disclaimers. And this is one of them: He will choose the prophet, and He will never let that man lead us astray. Imagine for a moment the impact of that promise. There is at least one place we can turn for pure, unpolluted guidance."
How wonderfully lucky we are to have living Prophets today, not to tell us how to live our lives, but rather to give us guidance, love and direction. Like a parent does. In todays world we are being bombarded with many unplesant things. And to know that we are loved, sons and daughters of a great creator. WOW.
Let me know who's talk inspired you to do better, who lifted you're spirit up. Who gave you the courage to say, this will pass.

summer in the country

i just had to write about the weather we are currently having. In a word AWESOME!!! At this time of year the summer flip flops, shorts, and t-shirts are getting the last wash of the season and put in storage. However this summer it appears that the opposite has occured and the sandles, and shorts are getting extra use. Tomorrow I plan on spending the better part of the day at St.Malo in the water and sand enjoying the sun and warm weather. Who knows what next week will bring.

long weekend get away!!

I went to Regina this weekend with my grandson and daughter to visit with my cousin. Although the weekend was quite it was lots fun. On Saturday morning Shannon, Lane and I went to the temple. Shannon had never been and Lane learned about temples in primary recently. However the highlight for Lane was Chucky Cheese--Where a Kid can Be A Kid--. I was not suprised to see a long time friend at the temple... us mormons stick together and are a small group. Angela was there to take her daughter through to receive her endownments as her daughter gets prepared to go on her mission.
We spent the afternoon soaking in my cousin, Kim's pool--- got to talk to peter about getting one of those. It was sooooo much fun and a great way to work out. Lane was so well behaved and we have a standing invitation to return.

Facebook

Well I am now with it. I found that more people were on face book rather than blogging. I hope by going onto facebook I can connect with some people whom I have lost contact with. If you are one of those people I look forward to hearing from you.

Racism such a ugly word

Recently a dear young woman was accused of using her blog site for racist remarks against aborginal persons in her community. If anyone knew this young girl you would know that this just isn't true. Yes, she has highlighted some interesting things going on in the area she, her husband and infant son live in, but she has also shown a side to the reserve she is currently on to be extremly beautiful.
My suggestion to this gentleman, using the word loosly; is to instead of complaining aboutn how she is bringing down his people, get off your #$&&$@@ and go and help the family who lets there dogs breed with no taking care of them-- yeh let the dogs roam and have more litters. or how about the house that the family just throws out there diapers in the backyard. Fly in a vet buddy and grab a rake to help your neighbours.

Yikes, just when you think things couldn't get bad; winter arrives again. Although the temps aren't horrid the snow is enough to send you south. But hold on not to Fargo which is in the middle of disaster of their own. Of course heading our way. See attached pictures for the area I live nearby.
On a good note, I received a call from my kids in Lethbridge. 3 of them are coming out for a visit Easter weekend. It's been over 3 years since I last saw the girls. Saddly I will have to work some but still hope to spend sometime with them before they all return home.
