Thoughts on life as it is....

Wow life can throw you all kinds of different balls. Some of these balls are good and some are bad like in the game. How do you Swing? Do you just kind of tap it or do you put your whole heart and soul into the swing and give it your all, not matter the outcome?

Well I have decided to swing with all I have because you really only get one shot at each ball. Why not give it your all!

1. Proposition 8 Without a doubt that is a "yes" for me and my family. There is nothing more important than saving the core unit of society...the Family! The world wasn't made with two men or two women together...It was made with one man and one woman (together). California and the world needs to realize the importance of this sacred calling! Get out and Vote..Vote 'Yes" on Prop. 8.

2. Sending a missionary off. Boy my heart! (as tears come to my eyes this very moment) Yes I am swininging hard. I have never prayed so hard and steadfast in my life. Just not knowing every minute if your Child is okay is a hard thing. (Even though I know he is) I am mostly praying for him to be able to learn a new language and have the spirit to teach the gospel. I have the faith that the Lord will bless him, if he puts his whole heart and soul into this great experience that will increase his testimony of this great work. "Faith without works is dead.."

3. Being Prepared. That is the hardest swing. Prepared Phycially. Prepared Mentally. Prepared Spiritually. Prepared Financially. A reality check is here. After hearing about the death of a dear Bishop in Idaho. Dan and I both stopped and said are we ready to meet the Savoir? We always have more to do.... That is the great part of this great plan. The learning and growing never ceases. We can always become better. It's all about our attitude. We as a family are united. In Docterine and Covenants 38:27 is says "If ye are not one ye are not mine." We are univid in purpose and action. We will face many challenges in our life, but together we'll grow in love and understanding as we work together or in other words, "hit the ball!"

Game day is here...I don't think we'll loose...No infact we'll win! Go Team!
