A midweek call from the Sunday meeting coordinator put me on the Sacrament Meeting lineup behind a returned missionary. Ok, cool... The topic was a YW theme, Individual Worth. With a little help from the internet I put a talk together. With the missionary giving his report and a musical number, I had 5 minutes remaining to deliver my talk. I gave the 'Cliff note' version and it still came off ok. Lot of people told me I did a great job and they appreciated my message. I'll paste my favorite phrase.
"Individual worth is simply knowing you are a child of God and then acting accordingly. Individual Worth is knowing that you are worth the price the Savior paid for each of us on the cross and in the Garden of Gethsemane. Individual Worth is accepting the gift of the Atonement into our lives. It is telling the Savior that we are indeed worth the price he paid for each of us. He thinks we are worth it, or He wouldn’t have done it. I hope that we can all remember who we truly are, sons and daughters of a loving Heavenly Father and Mother"
Wild flowers were planted in the park across the street and with the season getting cooler, the Cosmos' have gone crazy! Of course I had to snap a few shots of the awesome colors. I was tempted to post all 2 dozen shots, but I opted for just a couple.
While sitting in Church this past Sunday a thought came to me that I wanted to share the messages on any given Sunday that touched my understanding. A high counselman spoke and he talked on the subject of obedience. His favorite Old Testiment story is that of Samual, and he gave the ancient prophets biography. Bro. Brown is from Austrailia and it is interesting to hear him speak, but his message was so inspiring. He said relating sacrifice to obedience, "Sacrifice is not doing something hard, it is sacrificing your will to Heavenly Father." If you know me at all, you know I love photo's of nature and capturing the colors that have been painted by the Masters hand. This photo was posted on the internet in a place on KSL.com, called PictureLine. I cruise through the photos people have taken and am so grateful for snapshots of places I'd love to be at. I welcome fall and the glorious season of vibrant colors.
Morgan's giving his new car a wash down. We made it a family affair and we all detailed it together. I did the vaccuming, and Ethan and Morgan wiped down the interior. The car is a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix. Morgan worked a deal with his Dad and will be looking for a job. A friend worked on flat ironing his hair. It looked pretty cool, but WAY too much work for him to do.
