Scripture of the month

And moreover, I say unto you, that salvation doth not come by the law alone; and were it not for the atonement, which, God himself shall make for the sins and iniquities of his people, that they must unavoidably perish, notwithstanding the law of Moses.

Mosiah 13:28

Thought of the Month

"Think of it! when his body was taken from the cross and hastily placed in a borrowed tomb, he, the sinless son of God, had already taken upon him not only the sins and temptations of every human soul who will repent, but all of our sickness and grief and pain of every kind. He suffered these afflictions as we suffer them, according to the flesh. He suffered them all. He did this to perfect his mercy and his ability to lift us above every earthly trial."

Howard W. Hunter
"He is Risen," Ensign, May 1988

Merry Christmas

What a wonderful day it was yesterday. The kids were totally spoiled. They must've been really good because Santa brought all three of them a Nintendo DS with 2 games each. Felicia was so excited when she opened hers. That is all she asked for from Santa, so she was really glad she got it. We went up to my dad's for dinner on Christmas Eve. It was fun to be with my family and to enjoy their company. We went to Neil's parents house on Christmas for dinner. It was a madhouse with everyone there, but it was fun. I think his mom really enjoyed having the family together. She was able to sit in her wheelchair and help with the cooking. She even had Neil and Roy (Neil's brother) get her down the steps into the diningroom so she could be with all the family. It started snowing really hard around 6 pm. We've got between
6"-12" of snow here. We took the kids up to Willard Bay to see the Christmas lights that they put in the park area there. It was really fun to drive through it. They even have a hayride that will take you through it, if your brave enough to be out in the cold.
