Mother, I love you, Mother I do




Watch the video above. I came across it while perusing the internet this morning and I do believe it is something worth watching because we don't see enough of it in our everyday lives. 

I just wanted to take the post today and tell you all about my wonderful mother. She is the most kind-hearted person you will ever meet (Believe me, you will meet her sometime, whether you intend to or not). She has several great gifts, my favorite of which is her memory. Sometimes she can't remember what she did the day before, but she always remembers people. I dare you to have a 5-minute conversation with my mother. This is what will happen:

20 years from now, she will see you as she is driving/walking/meandering down the street. Not only will she recognize you by your face, but she will remember your name, everything you talked about in those 5 minutes from 20 years ago and the shirt you were wearing that day. Not to mention, she will probably have made connections with your family and ask you about how they are doing, too. After all of this, (Probably when she first sees you, too) she will give you a big hug. No matter who you are, where you're from or what kind of person you have become, she will love you and call you by name. 

That is just one of the many talents my mother has. Thus today I would like to highlight her and her amazing love for everyone. I love you, Mom!

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...
