Education week, etc.

It took a little longer to get a post together. Sorry.

We went to Utah to see family and to attend Education Week. It was wonderful.

One of the better things I got out of Education week is the list below.

Ten Commandments of A Spiritually Healthy Person:

  1. Decide now which way you will face and which God you will worship.
  2. Search you soul with earnestness and Honesty and Confess your sins to God and to His servants.
  3. Repent of your sins and move on with your life.
  4. Do not focus too much on the Blood and Sins of this generation.
  5. Live a Sane and Balanced life in the mainstream of the Church.
  6. Search the Scriptures, Ponder the Revelations and commune with God thereby.
  7. Do not take offense – Assume to the best.
  8. Strive to acquire and extend to others, the Love of Christ.
  9. Improve your time while in this Life.
  10. Enter into the Rest of the Lord thy God.
It did take us almost 3 full hours to get through those 10 items, and there is a LOT of meat to discuss. Pondering what each of those means, and how to achieve could be the the subject of daily scripture study for a long time.

One afternoon we walked dwon to the park with Peter and Ben. The boys showed us how good they were on the park equipment.

Peter climbed clear up on the Jungle bars, or whatever they are called. He got up all by himself, and got back down with only minimal encouragement, helping him get his feet right.

We spent two nights watching Kennedy. She had a cold and wasn't feeling well, but she was cute none the less.
Then she showed us how happy she can be when she has no clothes on.
