Temple Square

June 28th 2010

Several weeks back I had read that the Church had put on a new display at the South Visitor's Center at Temple Square. It is a replica of the Temple. One side is open so you can see inside. The detail was unbelievable! Right down to the murals on the wall, the lighting and the pictures. We arrived just in time to make a showing of the film about Joseph Smith. It really strengthened my testimony of the power of faith and endurance. After the movie we took a tour of the Conference Center. We have seen most of it before, just not the roof top. So in order to get to the top, you get the whole tour. It is truly amazing that all that vegetation and water can be on top of a building. I also learned the the deepest section of dirt is only three feet deep. How on earth do all of those massive trees stay standing? At the end of our tour, I saw a statue of a father with his son on his shoulders. It made me smile because that is Braden's favorite place to be...on his dad's shoulders. I think I did and saw more at Temple Square this time than I have in my whole life! I love the beauty of the Temple grounds and the way it makes me feel to be there.

Innocence of a child....

Driving along the freeway in Lehi there is a new little amusement park called Liberty Land. They have a very large imitation of Mount Rushmore with the heads of the Presidents of the U.S. Sydney's see's it and says,"Hey, there's the Godhead!"

While passing through Farmington, NM, we saw a car graveyard. The cars were all lined up in rows and rows and more rows. Morgan says, "Hey, are those cars stuck in rush hour traffic?"

While reading how the Nephites and Laminites are always fighting, Sydney says, "How do you fought?"

Thought provoking thoughts...

A.S.A.P

Always Say A Prayer.

Don't count the days,

Make the days count.

Life is not measured by the breathes we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Prayer changes things.

“Don't spend your life with someone you can live with, spend it with someone you can't live without"

"If I had my child to raise all over again, I'd build self esteem first, and the house later. I'd finger paint more, and point the finger less. I would do less correcting and more connecting. I'd take my eyes off the watch, and watch with my eyes. I'd take more hikes, and fly more kites. I would stop playing serious, and seriously play. I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars. I'd do more hugging and less tugging."
