Happy 100th Birthday Grandma!!!

Today I was web surfing and came across one of our family websites Ive never looked at. It's My Grandma Scotts (my dads mom), Mom. So my great Grandma. I was reading through some of the stuff and came across her birthday...which is...TODAY! September 2, 1908. I thought that was interesting how Id come across that on her birthday.

SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA!

I do have a few memories of her from when I was little. I remember her siamese cats. They were mean and I dont think many dared pet them. I remember her coming over on Christmas morning to see what we got. I remember candy corns in her candy dish. I remember her funeral and Grandpa Sorenson telling jokes through the family prayer. I remember telling my sister Kym just to not be scared and just to act like she was asleep. It was the first funeral either of us had been to. And that is about all the memories I have of her. I should be better at Geneology. It fascinates me.

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland in speaking of the divinity of The Book of Mormon said: For 179 years this book has been examined and attacked, denied and deconstructed, targeted and torn apart like perhaps no other book in modern religious history—perhaps like no other book in any religious history. And still it stands. Failed theories about its origins have been born and parroted and have died—from Ethan Smith to Solomon Spaulding to deranged paranoid to cunning genius. None of these frankly pathetic answers for this book has ever withstood examination because there is no other answer than the one Joseph gave as its young unlearned translator. In this I stand with my own great-grandfather, who said simply enough, “No wicked man could write such a book as this; and no good man would write it, unless it were true and he were commanded of God to do so.” I testify that one cannot come to full faith in this latter-day work—and thereby find the fullest measure of peace and comfort in these, our times—until he or she embraces the divinity of the Book of Mormon and the Lord Jesus Christ, of whom it testifies. I ask that my testimony of the Book of Mormon and all that it implies, given today under my own oath and office, be recorded by men on earth and angels in heaven. I hope I have a few years left in my “last days,” but whether I do or do not, I want it absolutely clear when I stand before the judgment bar of God that I declared to the world, in the most straightforward language I could summon, that the Book of Mormon is true, that it came forth the way Joseph said it came forth and was given to bring happiness and hope to the faithful in the travail of the latter days.
