The Dinosaur Museum

When summer started to roll around I mentioned to the boys that one of the things we could do during the summer was go to the dinosaur museum. I knew we wouldn't be going until August (2 dollar Tuesdays) so I shouldn't have mentioned it at the beginning of the summer. They asked me at least 4 times a week when were we going for about a month and a half. By August I think they had given up on me ever taking them. But August finally came and off we went to the museum. The boys were so excited. Jentry, not so much...so she stayed home. I had taken the kids a couple years before and they were not that impressed. But the boys have really gotten into dinosaurs so I thought they were old enough they would enjoy it...and I was right! They absolutely LOVED it! I was so surprised at all of the stuff they already knew form watching "Walking With Dinosaurs" on Netflix. Chase was naming off dinosaurs left and right. Even knew what kind of shark was hanging above us at one time. I was impressed. They wanted to look at every exhibit. They just loved it. It was a great time and I'm so glad we went!

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.
