A fresh tree for Christmas 2008



We had our first outing to get a live tree...a little late in the lives of our children.  But "better late than never" has become  a common phrase of late.  We had such a great time, we felt bad that we have deprived them of the fun all these years.  Everyone picked out a tree (after MUCH deliberation) and then Brian chose the final. Josh's tree got picked and we love it! It looks and smells great.  Why have we not done  this before...?

FAITH

Boyd K Packer:
I recognize two kinds of faith. The first is the kind which is apparent in the world. It is the common denominator of most everything that goes on. It is the thing that lets us exist. It is the thing that gives us some hope of getting anything done. Everyone has it, some in a larger measure than others. The second kind of faith, remarkably rare, unusual to find, is the kind of faith that causes things to happen. Faith is a power as real as electricity except a thousand times more powerful. Now did you ever exercise faith--exercise it, practice it, you see, not just take it for granted? When you look at yourself, ask yourself how faithful are you? It is a first principle in the gospel according to the Lord. Is it a first principle of the gospel according to you? BYU speeches, 1962

“All about us there are many who are in need of help and who are deserving of rescue. Our mission in life, as followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, must be a mission of saving. There are the homeless, the hungry, the destitute.”
President Gordon B. Hinckley, “Our Mission of Saving,” Ensign, Nov. 1991, 59
