America-The cradle of Humanity.

Words of hope and promise to live by:

Harold B. Lee’s Quote on America

“Men may fail in this country, earthquakes may come, seas may heave beyond their bounds, there may be great drought, disaster, and hardship, but this nation, founded on principles laid down by men whom God raised up, will never fail. This is the cradle of humanity, where life on this earth began in the Garden of Eden. This is the place of the new Jerusalem. This is the place that the Lord said is favored above all other nations in all the world. This is the place where the Savior will come to His temple. This is the favored land in all the world. Yes, I repeat, men may fail, but this nation won’t fail. I have faith in America; you and I must have faith in America, if we understand the teachings of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are living in a day when we must pay heed to these challenges.
I plead with you not to preach pessimism. Preach that this is the greatest country in all the world. This is the favored land. This is the land of our forefathers. It is the nation that will stand despite whatever trials or crises it may yet have to pass through.

(Ye Are the Light of the World, 350-51)

It's all about family!

Checkin' in

Been a while since I posted anything. Got busy with the new house in Sterling and with life in general. That woman that i live with, never rests. she has kept us both hooked up in the yard and garden and such. I'll try to get some photo's. Just got called as the 2nd counselor in the Bishopric in the Sterling Ward! So much for hidin' from the Lord. I'm starting to get my faith back in America as I listen to Pres. Obama's popularity fading in all the polls and his trouble getting his nationalized health care plan passed. He sounds a lot like Hitler did before everybody realized what kind of a monster they had in place. Case in point is the national volunteer (mandatory for all youth) force he is proposing. I've heard anywhere from 3 months or more. Anyone remember Hitler's version? Volunteering should be just that, voluntary, period....Oh well, back to the grind. Check with ya'all later.
