First Day of School 2009

(better late then never)

Jentry started the 6th grade this year (sniff, sniff). This is her last year in Elementary. That makes me so sad. Somehow next year wont be the same with me following her around to each class taking her pictures on the first day of school. (that isn't weird, right? ;o) )

I was going to let the kids ride their bikes on the first day but Jentry was a little upset at that. She asked me how I was going to take her picture in front of her class if she walked. So I loaded up the boys and off we went.

So far 6th grade is going great. She is a little nervous about all of the homework...but I think she will make it through. She always does.

Brinley started 2nd grade this year!! She looooves her teacher because she is a "singing teacher" and they are learning lots of fun new songs! Her teacher is a really great teacher and I'm excited to see how much she learns this year!! She also likes that her teacher is a grandma!

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.
