How can I keep from Singing?

Hey Y'all,

Well, we had a great week down in Las Vegas(no, I did NOT get married) and the family has another memory to add to our ever-growing treasure chest of great times, this time with more little ones and another in-law. Fun times, right?

Obviously we went to see the Bellagio Fountains, right before hitting up Cesar's Palace. That, my friends, is a city inside a hotel. However, it is a marketplace city, which I don't like very much. Oh well, the view was beautiful with a sky-lit ceiling that actually had a similarity to the sky.


Now, I have to ask a question. How many of you have ever had a day/week/month/year when every song you listen to seems applicable to your life? What I mean is this: this week as each and every song I've listened to(which is well over a 1000 songs) has the tendency to put me in the singer's shoes and I feel as though I'm singing about my life in that moment. Every song from Taylor Swift's last pop hit to the sweetest hymn in the middle of a Sacrament Meeting. From a grand love song to the best of evil-speakers; they all seem to apply to my life right now. So, I'm asking what you all think about that. Or just share your favorite song. Whichever. :)

I've Been Watching You

Dear Reader, Our little boy has not even arrived yet and I am already feeling the pressure to a good example. All growing up, I was always told to never do anything that I wouldn't want my children to know about/do themselves. "Always be on your best behavior, your children will watch you." I will be honest, I have always agreed with that idea and I think it is a good way to live your life. However, I didn't feel the weight of that responsibility until my wife got pregnant. I feel like I am getting more and more pressure from myself to be a perfect example, even though this little boy hasn't even met me yet. That's why I am relating so much with this song right now. I know, this isn't too deep. I just wanted to share the song more than anything.

Book of Mormon Stories

Dear Reader, Today I simply want to share a story that has strengthened my testimony of the Book of Mormon over the years. Professor Felix Mynhardt was fluent in many languages, including English, Afrikaans, Hebrew and Egyptian, as well as many others. He was employed as a language professor when he had been praying that the Lord would give him some divinely important task that would justify his having this gift of language from God. In 1970 he visited with a group of Mormon leaders, who sought to commission him to translate the Book of Mormon from English into Afrikaans. He said that he knew of the Book of Mormon from his religions studies, and his initial reaction was that he did not want to be involved in translating it. However, that evening, as he prayed upon his knees, as was his habit, he said the Spirit of the Lord convinced him. The message was something on the order of, "You asked me for a great, divinely inspired task of translation, I sent it to you in the form o...

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breath, shine like gold...

Dear Readers, Ok, so I can't fit the entire title into the title box. It's a good song, go look it up: "You make me smile." The title can apply to anyone, I've found. The rest of the lyrics would probably refer to a best friend or a significant other, but anyone can make you smile. They all have the own way of doing it. Some are just funny all the time and you can't help smiling when you're around that person. I know some who take care of people so well that you just smile when they're doing something for another. Others you can talk to about your problems and no matter what they say, it seems to make sense and you feel better...thus a smile. Ok, a smile doesn't always come in that case, but people usually smile after that. Anyone can have a blonde moment and make everyone smile because of it. I'm glad I've got friends who can do all of these: have blonde moments, take care of others or have an episode of hyperactivity that you can't he...
