We're Takin' Sunday Back!! :)

Last evening we were out till 8 or so and when we got home the kids grabbed a bite and went to bed. Today I got around to checking our phone messages and find out that the kids are supposed to get softball pictures taken today. Somehow something happened and we were not told till last night from both the girls coaches. The late notice really wouldn't have mattered, but they just had to schedule it on Sunday. We decided not to go today. Who knew softball would cause us to have to make a decision like this. It may seem a silly, but I know places around here that play on Sunday and I don't want to start with this. We can play any other day of the week, and do, So why don't they just leave Sunday for us.

Great Quotes...

“Therefore, let your hearts be comforted concerning Zion; for all flesh is in mine hands; be still and know that I am God” (D&C 101:16)

"Forgiveness is to set a prisoner free, and to realize the prisoner was you." Corrie Ten Boom, a Christian who survived extreme brutality in a German concentration camp

"When obedience ceases to be an irritant and becomes our quest, in that moment, God will endow us with power."
Ezra Taft Benson

"If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace."
Thomas Paine

"The Standard of Truth has been erected; no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the Great Jehovah shall say the work is done."
The Prophet Joseph Smith

"We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power, as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us!"
Abraham Lincoln

"WHEN THE LORD COMMANDS, DO IT"
The Prophet Joseph Smith

“Be grateful. Be smart. Be clean. Be true. Be humble. Be prayerful.”
President Gordon B. Hinckley

“Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he has been robbed. The fact is that most putts don’t drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to be just like people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, and most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is just like an old time rail journey … delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride.”
President Gordon B. Hinckley

" ...you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on."
Mr. Darcy

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."~ John Stuart Mill
