Have you read this?

This article really touched me.  I just finished reading it, and I felt such power in President Monson's words.  Especially these:

[There is] a very present need for that pioneer spirit to guide us away from the dangers that threaten to engulf us and to lead us to a Zion of safety...Times change, but truth persists.

There are even more gems in the article, those were just two.

By the way, posts have been lacking since we moved into our house a month ago.  It has eaten up all my minutes and my energy to do anything else after priming/painting/cleaning/being hot and humid...anyway.  I am excited to show pictures of things we've done.  I'm slowly but surely getting down homeowner's lingo and it's a bit of overwhelming but kind of exciting.  Hopefully pictures in a week.
