Day 6

I am grateful for unanswered and answered prayers. Even the simple prayers that are answered are miracles in my life. I am grateful for the gospel and how it brightens up my day. I am grateful for the chance I have to communicate with god and know that he is there. It is the greatest blessing in my life and so easy to take for granted.

Intangible Things

Last night I was thinking about how Disney calls merchandise "tangible memories". I thought it was stupid how they changed the name, but then It made me think about the tangible and intangible things in our lives. There are so many tangible things that we give value to. That one Steve Madden purse I fell in love with has a lot of value to me. Why? Because it is pretty. :) My cell phone has value to me because that is how I keep in contact with my friends and family. I could go on and on about the tangible things I love to have, but the point of this blog is to talk about the intangible things we have.  I think that the value of the intangible things in our lives is much greater than the tangible. The intangible include: love, memories, pain, and joy. These things are hard to measure; we can't hold them in our hand. We can't say I have two ounces of love and one inch of pain. There is no measurement for love. I remember when I was younger reading the book about how m...

Manti Temple

I went to the Manti Temple and it was beautiful. The trip was wonderful with the snowy mountain caps. I baptized Indian names and it was seriously one of my favorite temple trips. This is why I love the gospel. The temple. The temple is an incredible place where I can think clearly. And the Manti temple is so cool. I loved being there as it is one of the earliest temples. I was doubting whether or not to get up because we left early in the morning, but it was worth it.I met people in my ward that I didn't know very well, ate delicious food and got to explore a new temple. I love exploring new temples. Every temple is built so differently based on the location and different aspects of the location. I decided to make a list of the temples that I have been to: Sacramento Temple Laie, Hawaii Temple Palmyra Temple Oakland Temple Provo Temple Manti Temple Salt Lake City Temple Mount Timpangos Temple Logan Temple Rexburg Temple Idaho Falls Temple Orlando Florida Temple N...

Godspeed, Little Man

I am in love with this song by Dixie Chicks. I heard it on pandora while working the other day and it just was amazing to me. I could just imagine a little boy with this love for life who loves his mother. I could imagine the mom singing to the boy and wishing for the best for her son. Her perspective is so large that she can see this little boy's potential. He is the little boy wearing his train pajama's, telling his mom about his play date with the neighbor and how they played puzzles and lego's. They will grow up and become fathers and preside over their families. It is amazing how we grow so quickly and have this potential to grow and learn throughout our lifespan. One day they are small boys who like to cuddle with their mother and then they like to cuddle with their wife and their kids. One day I will have a little boy that I can sing lullabies to and watch him grow. I will watch him love trains, lego's, sports, girls, his wife, his kids, and maybe his grandkids...
