ABC Talks Temples with Elder Ballard and Cook
I just came across this video where ABC news did an interview with Elder Ballard and Elder Cook and talked about Temples, misunderstandings of belief, etc.
It was an interesting piece, but even interesting is that despite the interview they (ABC) did, where the Apostles mentioned that the FLDS groups are not a part of our belief, the news agency still included the Texas compound situation in the same sentences. I suppose titilating headlines/intros still prevail over truth.
As a convert though it is great to see more open discussions about the faith. We should not hide from our beliefs (nor should anyone) but be proud of them and declare the truths which we know.

A humble reminder
A month ago I wrote about three words that simply made my day. Today, after 2 pretty long days with my kids while the wife was out with friends, I had lost a lot of patience. My daughter fell asleep in our bedroom as she does sometimes, and I was preparing to bring her into her room. I usually go into her room first and get it all ready so that I can quietly just pick her up from ours and put her in her bed.
Tonight as I did this routine, I pulled the sheets back and discovered something poking out beneath her pillow. This is what I pulled out:
This was unsolicited. Something she probably was drawing today while keeping herself busy. A HUGE smile came across my face and my eyes teared up. I am so humbled to have been rewarded in my life with such a wonderful spirit in my daughter and son.
I love my family too, Zoe.
