Picture of our Partial Family

Today I put a picture of our family on the blogg. It is that what our FATHER

in Heaven has sent us. - 51 years ago this comming 23rd of July, then, there

were only 2 of us.... now look... and now Hannah, and Charlie whom are not

pictured, and we have another expected within the next 10 months..

Although the Nation's conditions seem to be falling apart, we have been told

that if we are true and faithful to what we know to be the right way to live, all

will be well and our lives will be good. One of these ways is also a scout saying

- "do a good turn daily." We can share our good fortune with others, whom

need our help. Of course, there are those whom would take advantage of our

willingness to be generous, we need to be circumspect in our helping hands.

There is a need, and we can see it easily, if we but look.

This word is founded on the family. It is the unit of life most valued - this

central idea is in every area, country, and nation. And the individual conduct

must be that of virtusness. We must be true to the ideals that we believe,

100%.! Our thoughts must be correct, and all of our deeds, in harmony.

Perhaps this is a part of Love for one another... for Love is greater than just

mere virtue. To be full of Concern and Love for all others is what our Savior

told us we should do. HE said that our number one activity, we remember -

"Love one another as if the other as if yourself." To do this you must respect

yourself, and love your life. For, if you do not love yourself, you can not love

another. In the family we learn what true love is. We learn by doing, and by

sacraficing, and by correcting ourselves when a wrong choice is righted.

These are the basics that JESUS taught, and lived when he was in the world.

Can these principles, taught by the SAVIOR be lived today, - YES, they can.
Even if the government is distroyed, and other conditions come to us. After

all, in the Bible and Book of Mormon (a second text for Jesus Christ) we read

of ancesters whom lived without their governments, sometimes without their

own country, sometimes as slaves, and sometimes, as now, great conditions.

Today, if we are true to our own teachings we should fear none of comming

changes in the world.

These changes have been written in various writtings... One that I prsonally

like is a book published in December 1939 (the year my wife was born) then

with additional ideas in 1949 and 1988. It was written by a Religion Teacher

with Devine assistance, his name is W.Cleon Skousen. Printed by Ensign

Publishing, it's title, Prophecy and modern Times. The book will give you

peace and hope. It will also stir you to want to live better, + more righteously.

If you do not agree, it will make your life a bit better.

And, For those whom check this Blogg.. I really don't think I"m the know all

and see all - but from the aspect of the time Iv'e been here, I've a persective

view of life. I,m not fearful of leaving, but want to live to be 100 years, before

leaving. Lots of Love for each and everyone.....Granddad

Good to be alive -

Some minister said that when we are all in Heaven, and we are discussing
what we did and when we did it, all will become very guiet when we say
we were here in the last days... Now, are these the last days? Is this
the beginning of the wrap up? Will the conditions be in harmony with the
book of revelations in the Bable, or not....that is the question...

For me, I believe we are in the last days of the earth as we know it.
I think that the changes and frequency of the changes are excellerating
rapidly. Does that mean I think that we will not have time to teach
our children, or to complete the tasks we are doing? No We will have
time to finish some of what we are doing. For now,I have put a frame-
work in our back yard so we can have veg'y growing there. I'm putting
pole beans in the flower bed, and have built a wooden box to put dirt,
seed,potting soil and steer food in - - so we can have lettus, cukes,
and other root foods. If the $ is declining, I think we should have a
sorce of food. and I am certain that you would agree.

We have been told to have our 2 year supply of food stored - not it is
one year. And we are to have a 72 hour kit at hand.... good advice. So,
lets do it...

In washington last year we voted down the private seeling of Beer and
spirits. Now we read in the newspapers that the State is going to
privatize that feature. Although I don't use those items, others do,
and if our governmant will not folow the will of the folks in the state,
what hope is there for expectaion that we have put leaders in whom will
make our lives easier, or a bit more fun? Today I wrote a infrequent
letter to the editor about this problem of out leaders doing what ever
they want without any thought of you and I.

Now is the time for each of us to live our life as we believe. If some-
one crossed us up, forget it, we have better things to do than be angry-
- - just chock it up to "his" experience, or "her" experience and drop
it out of your mind.. there are better uses of the energy. And then too,
He or She is our brother or sister.

As my Dad uesd to say, - just go on, forget it. Life is too short.
I even have gotten to forgive the mistakes that family make, and hope
that I don't make them too.

I believe that God is my FATHER and that we are all one family, the
family of Adam given to him by God. So I pray to Him, and thank Him
for His Son, Jesus Christ - for if He was God's son, (and I believe
He was) then we need his intercession with FATHER for us to progress.
Then if you do not beieve, then pray according to what you believe.

This is a great time to be alive.
It is well worth it, no matter how hard or long.
