Happy Thanksgiving!

  Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you are all doing well, and spending as much time as possible with your families. 

   I feel in this day and age we, as a general people, have forgotten the true meaning of our holidays, and why we celebrate them. I think this picture will sum up my meaning quite well...

    Some families have even abandoned the traditional feast just to get the best bargains and deals. All I'm saying is that we should celebrate this time that we have now for its true purpose. 

Here's the story of Thanksgiving and facts if you are interested in this link.

Rough Start Great Finish

Hey everybody check out this poem, 

By John Bytheway.

Rough Start; Great Finish

Some people like to wonder

Why is my life so tough?

Mortality is full of trials

and every day is rough

They say "hey Lord, I'm bein' good

Why punish me with trials?

I thought that if I chose the right

I'd have a life of smiles"

So here's some things within a poem

We mustn't disregard

Which hopefully will answer

why our lives can be so hard

Nephi crossed a desert 

to find a place to build a ship

I think we'd all agree 

this was not a pleasure trip

A wilderness dark and dreary

lay before the tree of life

You must fetch Ismael's family

before you find your wife

A wilderness will always come

before the Promised Land

And before they sowed in dark rich soil,

They saw a lot of sand

The kind of things that they went through

we go through now today.

Here's 25 examples of how things can be that way:

You've got to eat your Cracker Jack's 

before you get your prize,

You have to sit through drive-through

before you get your fries

I drove a Chevy Vega

before my Honda Prelude

I had to take my finals man

before I got my grade dude

Before the 80's music came

we had to go through disco

before the tephlon frying pan

We used to cook with Crisco

You do a lot of dating son

before you find your honey

Bank officers will check your past

before they loan you money

Endure the small apartment kids

before you buy a home

My Franklin planner weighed a ton

before I bought a palm

You have to pass the food court

before you reach the mall

and I was really really short

before I got this tall

It takes a lot of courage boys

to ask the girls to dance

without the risk of asking though,

you'll never find romance

The ugly duckling came before

the really pretty swan

you've got to pull the dandelions

to have a gorgeous lawn

It could take 300 Wonka bars

to find a golden ticket

To eat that pile of chocolate

boy, you've really gotta dig it

We shovel snow in winter time

before we get to spring

Some guys will sacrifice their jeep 

to buy a wedding ring

It's half a dozen previews

and then the presentation

and only after 8th grade trials

comes high school graduation

airport security must be passed

before you find your gate

It's odd that much of traveling 

is stand in line and wait

You've got to go in rush hour

Then you park in your garage

You have to do stuff for your wife

to earn a back massage

Hours of piano lessons came

before the big recital

The Cougars played the U of U

before they won the title

Perhaps I should get to the point

before this poem gets longer

I guess that what I'm trying to say

is that trials make you stronger

So when you have a problem

there's no reason to complain

It might just be that all that's wrong

is for your eternal gain

Next time a trial comes along

don't gripe or write a letter

Just see what's really going on

your problems make you better

I hope my amateurish poem

my point will not diminish

sometimes a rough start comes before

a really awesome finish.

So for this week I was sick and it rained, but there was supposed to be a bomb fire.

But I still have a scripture thought for all of you. : )

2 Corinthians 4:6

For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Last wednesday, for mutual, all of the Mia Maids did a photo shoot. It was a lot of fun. My friend Angelica and I had a blast. Although we got a lot of pictures with us in it we weren't trying to we were just exploring our surroundings for different posses for all the other girls, but we got pictures of us anyway. Let's just say Angelica and I were the ones without the ideas when I came to group photos.

It's like my mom always asks, "Why are you girls are so pretty." My reply, 

"Because Modest is the Hottest"  

Cool scripture time!!!

  

Jacob 2:28

For I, the Lord God, delight in the chastity of women. And whoredoms are an abomination before me; thus saith the Lord of Hosts.
