President Hinckley

Our dear prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has gone home to our Heavenly Father, last night, January 27, 2008.

Today is a bittersweet day for members of the LDS Faith because we have lost our beloved leader, but yet, he is with his eternal sweetheart on the other side of the veil. How grateful I am to have been a member of the church, to see how much the Gospel has spread during his time as our prophet.

President Hinckley is the only prophet I have ever known and I'm in shock, but grateful for the life he lived and what a profound example he was to me. I only hope that as I live my life, I may touch lives like he did. I may not reach as many people as he has, but if I can make a difference as he has done, then my life is well lived. I pray for his family that they may have the Comforter with them during this time.

Thank you President Hinckley, for your faith, your testimony, and devotion to our Savior, Jesus Christ. You have been a strength to me!! You will be sorely missed!! God Be With You Until We Meet Again!!!!

Good Parenting . . . .

Well, I thought this clip was amusing, I could see my Dad doing this to me if I watched movies like this. Enjoy!!!!

Resolutions?

As I was reading Kristene's blog this morning, I decided that I haven't set goals for a long time, or if I have, they haven't been much of anything because I forgot.

I've decided that I need to get out of debt. I don't have a lot of debt, but it would be nice to not have certain bills anymore, like my student loan payment.

I have been so blessed by my Heavenly Father, and I'm truly grateful to Him for all he has given me. I want my relationship with my Father to grow and my testimony of the Gospel to grow. I know its true, but I think I could always do more to make myself a better person.

I need to be grateful for everything. The people in my branch, the people I work with, and my family are so patient with me and I should show more gratitude for them and all they do for me.

Also, my goal is to get asked out on three dates this year. When it comes to dating, I'm always doing the asking, so I decided that I would like to get asked this year. We'll see if it comes true, but I'm always hopeful :D

Life is wonderful and I'm in a good place!!
