To me one of the greatest bulwarks we have in this country against all the foreign isms, "crackpot" theories, and the unsound social reforms is the people who live on the land, close to the soil. -Ezra Taft Benson

Loading up the Zune with some good spring & summertime stuff any recommendations?

Men may write love songs and sing them. They may yearn and hope and dream. But all of this will be only a romantic longing unless there is an exercise of authority that transcends the powers of time and death. -Gordon B Hinckley

The devotional President Oaks gave to BYU in February is being expanded and reinforced. Traditions of the world do deceive us. We need Christ as our guide and strength, constantly.

@SunsetRanchAZ Yay! Happy Easter!

After practicing "My Shepherd Will Supply My Need" for the Easter choir, it has become my favorite addition to the new hymnal. It's a temple anthem.

4 yo calls the three wooden crosses "powerlines" because she can read the deepest symbols of the universe probably

I took a short break to focus on the good stuff in my life, and now I want to sing and shout about Jesus, ok? These things are connected.

These are the window clings we used. Next year we might just make the suncatchers out of tissue paper. a.co/d/07boSDc9

Ok, it's simple, but this is more than I've ever done for Palm Sunday. It felt really good to talk of Christ throughout the day.

The gospel of Jesus Christ is a plan that shows us how to become what our Heavenly Father desires us to become. -Dallin H Oaks

I will give you the laws and principles by which I have acquired my wisdom and stature. Follow my example, mastering as I have mastered, and you will become as I am, and all that I have will be yours.”

A wealthy father knew that if he were to bestow his wealth upon a child who had not yet developed the needed wisdom and stature, the inheritance would probably be wasted...

Getting ready to mow the lawn, here on this day in February.

@Bar_tolmi Good eye! Those are the "robes of a false priesthood" Hugh Nibley spoke of.

LDS (Mormons) might do double-take when watching Mona Lisa Smile. #Temple #Ceremony youtu.be/HEbFu8Tng_4?si…

@JAEbberts I appreciate the ones using buckets
