New Addition

We have a new addition to our family. The kids love him. It's fun to see them react to the kitten. They named him Shadow.

Mandy said...: Why did I think you hated cats? Shadow is a real original name. Your kids look so old. Time is passing way too fast.; June 2, 2010 at 10:20 AM
Tina said...: Oh it is so cute. You better loan it to a friend while we are out there. Our kids will love it to death!; June 2, 2010 at 1:21 PM
Sarah Jane said...: Oh cute! I love cats so much, as you might remember.
I'm glad you got a kitten, because dogs are too much work for kids anyways.
Neuter it! Or you might end up with five kittens you have to feed... just saying...; August 22, 2010 at 8:19 PM

Thoughtful Reflection

“No man is an island” (Meditation 17).

“True happiness comes only by making others happy—the practical application of the Savior’s doctrine of losing one’s life to gain it. In short, the Christmas spirit is the Christ spirit, that makes our hearts glow in brotherly love and friendship and prompts us to kind deeds of service.
“It is the spirit of the gospel of Jesus Christ, obedience to which will bring ‘peace on earth,’ because it means—good will toward all men.”3
Giving, not getting, brings to full bloom the Christmas spirit. Enemies are forgiven, friends remembered, and God obeyed. The spirit of Christmas illuminates the picture window of the soul, and we look out upon the world’s busy life and become more interested in people than things. To catch the real meaning of the “spirit of Christmas,” we need only drop the last syllable, and it becomes the “Spirit of Christ.”
