Primary Music

Someone should write a new Primary song about how you shouldn't waste your time on Saturday cleaning the house 'cuz of the tornado that rips through every Sunday afternoon.
Parker and the student Council at Bethlehem place delivering the cans of food the school collected. Parker thought it was cool that the shelves were empty when they got there, but after they left they were full. (Parker is in 3 of these pictures, can you spot him? hint: he is wearing his dark green Baker shirt!) This is Me and Maris.

Amen, to the Sunday tornado. Sunday may be a day of rest but that leaves Monday for the day of Catch up. Not Ketchup, catch up :)!!! Oh, Mondays, are not fun.

P.S. I truly appreciated your lesson yesterday.

It's a small world. I needed to post on your blog because I found you again. We sort of met on my cousin Adri's site.

I was checking up on a friend (Lisa)in Texas and it turns out that her friend (Brianne) also posts on a recipe blog. Then I saw you. "My name is Andrea" is catchy. I had to bookmark the recipe page because they looked so yummy. I just thought it was a round about way to bump into a familiar blogger.

In regards to your post, my husband was just saying yesterday that he can't wait to move to morning church because the morning mess in the house tends to dampen the spirit as we are heading out to church. Our kids make forts everywhere or transport all their CLEAN blankets and buckets of toys outside to the back yard. We wake up the neighborhood by 7 a.m. weekly. Don't you wish you could be our neighbor?

"I am one of [Jesus Christ's] witnesses, and in a coming day I shall feel the nail marks in his hands and in his feet and shall wet his feet with my tears. But I shall not know any better then than I know now that he is God's Almighty Son, that he is our Savior and Redeemer, and that salvation comes in and through his atoning blood and in no other way."--Bruce R. McConkie, "The Purifying Power of Gethsemane"

"...we must be careful, as we seek to become more and more godlike, that we do not become discouraged and lose hope. Becoming Christlike is a lifetime pursuit and very often involves growth and change that is slow, almost imperceptible. The scriptures record remarkable accounts of men whose lives changed dramatically, in an instant... But we must be cautious as we discuss these remarkable examples. Though they are real and powerful, they are the exception more than the rule. For every Paul, for every Enos, and for every King Lamoni, there are hundreds and thousands of people who find the process of repentance much more subtle, much more imperceptible. Day by day they move closer to the Lord, little realizing they are building a godlike life. They live quiet lives of goodness, service, and commitment. They are like the Lamanites, who the Lord said "were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and theyknew it not." (3 Ne. 9:20; italics added.)"--Ezra Taft Benson, "A Mighty Changeof Heart"
