Ok people I am ready for Spring.

Is it too much to ask for spring to come in January? I dont think so. So I've been asking. And I thought I might fish my wish. This last week it has been raining. And it doesnt rain in the winter, right? So I was getting just a tad bit excited that I might see a little green! Lucy our dog was thinking it was a great idea too. There was a little patch of green grass that showed up in the back yard since all the rain has been melting the snow. Lucy thought this was GRAND! She ran and ran around in circles yipping on that small patch of grass. I felt like running with her. Expcept, I would be yipping "Its Spring!!" Well winter plays tricks on ya here in Utah. You think you are going to get a little taste of sun...and what do you wake up to? Feet of snow. Thats just how it is here. And every year, come January...Im sick of it. Im sick of coughing, sneezing, fevers, snot noses, cold hands, dirty muddy floors from people walking in the kitchen with muddy feet, dirty cars; cause I never wanna stand out in the freezing snow to clean them out.

I want spring!

I want to send the kids out in the back yard and not see them again til dusk, I want to sit out on the front steps and watch all the kids play in the street, I want long days, short sleeves, no boots, flip flops, bikes, scooters.....SUN!!!

But I guess I'll have to wait until May but until then...Ill just complain.

I belong

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.
