truth amid chaos

I read and reread a line today, the beginning sentence of a long post about truth and chaos.  it reads, the world is watching our church.

This blog is my personal life. Not really a forum for topics of the news and currently events. But this is a big deal. And yeah, the world is watching our church.

 It is! And though it's come through a negative fashion, the world is watching right now.

 For those who choose to be mindful and respectful, they will find truth in that church doctrine reigns where no man, woman, media, or social pressure will.

 I am sad that the leader of her own made group, ordain women, was excommunicated. That is always a sad thing.

 But is not about feminism or gender equality for fairness. Anyone that understands the gospel understands what is happening is not really about the gospel at all. This is about pride, believing that we are all knowing being ourselves, that making a great display will change the Gospel's very foundation.  Her approach to all of this, running to the media and becoming the spotlight of attention, that's not about the gospel at all. Pride is a wicked way.

 I'm incredibly grateful my husband has the priesthood. If anything, and at the very least, it is a set of maturing responsibilities to lead and guide a family. And furthermore, anyone that's been in the temple understands that women have a very sacred priesthood responsibility.

I'm happy the world is watching The Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints.  Let the gospel be known.

Easter-ish, belt exams, and more

  Micah's belt exam was last month.  She advanced to the top of three brown belts and her junior black belt exam will be this fall.  She asked me not to tell or invite anyone except Auree... and Auree is her karate friend. She said, "only karate people there except you guys."  Copper was in NY, so it was just Tim and I and Dakota.  Kota's phone died about one hour into the almost four hours we were there, and what a trooper. Haha. Micah is awesome! While waiting they had to do all sorts of "the grind" exercises.  Here she had to put her feet on her friend (boy Ronan) legs and then do push ups. It looked really hard. Jujitsu fighting with friend (girl) Ronan... Three hours in and she just sat and took a break.  She looked beat. I'm grateful for girl Ronan's friendship with Micah.  They're all such great friends with her. Ronan, Kristine, and Micah Ms. Kassie came back to see everyone who was advanced testing! Micah was thrilled; this is her mentor...

She's Here!

Yea! Copper is here and is so beautiful! She was born on June 8, 2009 after a surprise "You're not leaving the hospital" induction. She was 6.13 pounds and 18.5 inches long. She had the cord around her neck twice, so she was this dark haired, albino skin girl with quivering lips. But so cute! She got some color right away and has stayed pink since! Here's a few pics...

 We went to California! Micah has her annual karate in the woods event through ISKA, and this year we decided to take the whole family and go a few days early. It kind of stinks because the girls had 4 days of school and then we took off! I don't regret it though. They are hard workers and they got caught up pretty fast.  We got there really early Wednesday morning after an early flight, and started off the day off with a baseball game with the San Francisco Giants. Micah is now baseball's biggest fan. Especially the Giants, and especially number 51. I can't remember his name but she knows everything including his stats. 🤣 Wednesday we also walked Pier 39 and about exhausted ourselves from a very long day.  Thursday we hit the national monument and visitor center of the Golden Gate bridge and then walked along it until we got a pretty decent view of the ocean. So pretty! After that we spent the whole rest of the afternoon at the San Francisco zoo. I think this was Dakota...
