Wow, I finally got an image to upload..what is with that?
These have been troubling times in many ways. The pandemic seemed to start it all; then, here in Magna, Utah, on March 18th we had a 5.7 earthquake. For those of us who are not used to the earth shaking, it was both startling and unsettling, especially since we are still having aftershocks even up into the 4’s!
So, we’ve been advised, even ordered to stay safe and stay home. This has been an eye-opening experience. I’ve come to see that much of the ‘stuff’ I spent time on, when I could move about freely, just isn’t that important–almost like I was doing it to distract myself from things that matter most. I don’t know if all that makes any sense, but I’ve struggled to convince myself that I have ever contributed much positive to anything, any one, or any cause.
And, I have come to realize that tomorrow may not be just like all the other days I’m used to. It is so easy to believe that you are in control, because you are the boss of what you say and do, and where you go. And that leads us to believe that we really don’t need anybody, especially God. If that’s all I can take from this, then it will leave me a better person than I was before.

I’m glad you can upload again ☺️ and I don’t like to hear that you doubt the positive mark you have made on the world. You are BOTH leaders in the way or charity, service, being grateful, admiring the simple beautiful things, and knowing what is really important in life. I can credit you two with every food quality I try to have. You are always trying to be the best you can. There are so many that don’t. You have definitely made a difference in nearly every life you have touched, not only your children, but everyone.
