Fight for the Good in Life!

Well the warm weather is coming around again and it's making me wish it was summer! It's nice and all having it warm in the valley, but it never lasts especially in the spring. I do hope that when the next storm comes in, that it just rains in the valley and the snow stays up in the mountains. Because snow in the valley does nothing for the water that we need in the summer, the snow in the mountains is what we need for water in the summer.

I read all of the Percy Jackson Lightening Thief books and I really like them. I am reading The Hobbit for the second time in a row and I am reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Angels & Demons, and the New Testament. Huck Finn is really sad but good. I did go and see the Percy Jackson movie and I like it, it's good. I have also seen Alice in Wonderland and I love that movie, I love the whole lesson behind it, and how good overcomes evil. And that you can find that you are brave and you can defeat your own fears. I have also seen the Blind Side and I really love that movie. I want to see How to Train Your Dragon when it comes out to theaters. I also can't wait for the last book of Fable Heaven to come out.

Church is good we just had Stake Conference, and a lot was said that got me thinking; which is cool, so here is bit of what was said. "We are here for a certain purpose and to have experiences that are good and hard." "Temple work has a great benefit for all and not just one special group." "All roads lead to the Temple." "The earth would be utterly wasted if members of the church did not come to the Temple and do service for the dead."

"The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep."
Robert Frost-

It was a really good Stake Conference; I really liked that the Salt Lake Temple President's wife quoted Robert Frost, because sometimes the woods are really lovely dark and deep and I would just like to go into them and spend months in them enjoying the beauty of nature and life; but things need to be done, and life can't be lived by standing still; we all have a part to do and people need us; and they need us to carry our load, but we are never alone Christ is always there standing at the door knocking, but we have to let him in, we have to make room and time for the Savior and Heavenly Father. Once a friend told me that I make life as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ sound so easy, so I told this friend well that's because it is, but we are the ones that make it hard, we are the ones that shut the door to Christ, we are the ones that turn away. With man some things are possible but with God all things are possible.
