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
