The Belly Laugh Heard Round the World
In honor of tomorrow's Global Belly Laugh Day:
Indeed. :) In this world where we live, there should, and can be, and is more happiness!
Fun stuff.
Kids on the Loose
Dallin and Mackenzie are running wild, and it's pretty dang exciting.
Where's Maisy?
Dallin chimes in with this family podcast (or whatever you call an audio file that contains lots of jibberish out of our family's mouths). Like most of us, he enjoys hearing himself chatter at the microphone. Witness his testimony!
Angelfish
Mom: Are you finished [with your dinner]?
Dallin: I'm not a fish.
(thinking...)
Dallin: I'm an angel fish!
The Most Important
[Visiting with the sick and dying] is by far the best thing I do to get myself ready [for a game]. Here you are, about to play a game that the world says is the most important thing in the world. Win and they praise you. Lose and they crush you. And here I have a chance to talk to the coolest, most courageous people. It puts it all into perspective. The game doesn't really matter. I mean, I'll give 100 percent of my heart to win it, but in the end, the thing I most want to do is not win championships or make a lot of money, it's to invest in people's lives, to make a difference.
Mackenzie on the Move
Witness Mackenzie as she begins to learn the art of crawling. And witness Dallin as he begins to learn the art of getting his sister to clean up for him.
A Glorious Kingdom!
Lots of smiles! I love it!
Growing the Fire of my Faith
I just finished, after a Internet-disabled intermission, the 3 episodes of Fires of Faith, a series on ByuTV the miraculous history of the creation of the English Bible, culminating in the King James version. The presentation was so well done. I was left with an impression of the stunning breadth of history and effort and sacrifice that was given to provide me the opportunity to have the Bible and to read it, hear it, and grow from the contained teachings and my own experience with it.
The words of the Bible are true accounts, and I am very grateful to those that gave very literally their lives to write it, translate, and provide it.
"I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held... And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season..." Revelation 6:9,11
Religions Elevates
The greatest advantage of religion is to inspire…principles. There is no religion which does not place the object of man’s desires above and beyond the treasure of earth, and which does not naturally raise his soul to regions far above those of the senses.
Plumalicious!
Hehe, wow! This is so fun!
Thanksgiving for Kiddies
It was fun to spend this Thanksgiving with April's family and with all our cute little kiddies. They were a handful and very fun. What did we used to do with full day after day off on holidays? I'd be lost without the regular diaper schedule, and I'd be bored if I was merely tasked with dishing food out onto my own plate. And there just wouldn't be as much to be thankful for!
A Coat for Christmas
Christmas is how we should feel all the time!
May the Bow be With You
Awesome hilarity.
