Brinley Turns EIGHT!!

Where are these years going? In my head, Brinley should still be three. Thats where I remember her the most and thats where I think she should stay!!! But I guess she has other plans.

We have been busy looking forward to her baptism so her birthday kind of snuck up on me. So at nine pm the night before Jentry and I took a trip to walmart to find her something for her birthday. She wanted a table and chair set and I found a cute one there. I knew it might be a little bit small for her (the ages were 3-8) but we decided to get it anyway. I was right. It was a little too small for her...but she doesnt care...she loves it. She also got an ipod shuffle that I didnt think she would really like all that much (hence why I went out at 9 pm to get her something else) But to my surprise she LOVES that too.

We did our traditional wake up at 5:30 am before Dad goes to work. She then snuggled in bed with me before it was time to go to school. I love that girl. She can be my biggest challenge and my biggest self esteem booster. Shes always telling me how much she loves me. I love her more then she will ever know.

That night we went out to dinner with my parents and sister and brother at none other then Sizzler! I think that is becoming a tradition too. She loved her birthday! Happy Birthday My Sweet Boo!

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.
