New Years Resolution


December blogging was a mixture of November burn out and Christmas stress, so while my new years resolution isn't really to be a better blogger, I really will do better. For Christmas I got a camera so I have been taking lots of pictures of my angel to post. It is more fun to post about Glen then just about anything so I have serious incentive. In the mean time her is an idea to think over.
Which would be a bigger hit, a sock store named "Darn it!" or a water proof book so you can read while you shower?

No Unhallowed Hand


"The Standard of Truth has been erected; no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persicutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independant, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept ever country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the great Jehovah shall say the work is done"

(History of the Church 4:540 emphasis added)

As to the Truth going forth, I plan to help out so that When it comes time I will hear my Savior say "Well done my good and faithful servant."

Wow!

Wow! All I can say is wow! You will see why in the next, I don't know, 10 posts or so. Let me tell you what happened. My good friend Miranda called me up last night and says "Hey, Ruth, I know it's short notice and all, but I have tickets to this choir thing. Do you want to go with me." I decide to go, John practicably kicked me out of the house for a girls night, but I had no idea what I was in for. It's not until I am down town standing in a huge long line that I start wondering what this event is. Then I think of the date, the five mile long lines, and the fact that it is the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. I had unwittingly gotten tickets to the event of the year. I, and just about every one of my in laws, tried to get tickets to "Ring Christmas Bells," but no one had gotten any. Then out of the blue my friend has some, not even really knowing how terrific they are and invites me. Wow! Am I glad John kicked me out of the house, and told me I better go have fun. I could have died when i found out. Then Miranda starts telling me about her friend or co-worker who was in the Choir and she has hook-ups and I'm just like, wow! yeah, wow!
So stay tuned for more on this fabulous performance. I took careful notes so I could tell my sister in law LaChelle all about it. I knew how much she wanted to go, and others, and when I found myself sitting in the conference center I pulled out paper and pen so I could record the event and write all about it. More about "Ring Christmas Bells" comming soon!
