Government & Perservation

Well this posting will go a little a stray from whole purpose of this blog, but who cares.

While preparing to teach a lesson on a patriotic theme, I was searching through the scriptures under government and came across DyC 88:34 "that which is governed by law is also preserved by law". As I read this I started to think of our current political climate in which we live.

Let me give an example; think of the title of a "Virgin". What definition (LAW) governs the use of that title? ... This same law (definition) is what preserves the group of people as elite, those who abide by this law. It shows that these people have self control, have discipline, they know of the sacredness of their bodies, and ultimately want to show honor to Him who created them through obedience. (Now I will add that God has ordained one way to drop this title, and that is by exchanging it for the title of "Husband" or "Wife".) Once the definition of virginity is violated, it cannot be applied to that individual again (Except as allowed by the Highest Law the Atonement.) Hence the law that governs who can apply this title also keeps those bearers of it on a pedestal.

Now, let’s say that the definition of "Virginity" changes and can be applied to a person that has violated the original definition 5, 6, 7 times. It would instantly take the title of a "Virgin" from being one of honor to one that has no real meaning.

Back to the current political climate and the debate about the definition (laws) of marriage, for many of those who are in support of preserving the traditional definition of marriage, it has nothing to do with denying anything to anybody! It does have everything to do with preserving the holiness and sanctity of something, their marriage!

Monkeys Song 5-4-3-2-1-2

The other day a certain child wanted to sing this song, so we decided to record it and post it on our world famous blog.

This is a short term posting since a name was mistakenly used in the media file.

Joys Found in Little Noises

The night after two days ago while preparing for sleep the sound of running water could be heard. One of the joys of owning a home that was built within the last 200 yrs. is all the noises with some being scarier than others. The noise referred to above turned out to be an outside hose left on. It is funny how just a little water coming out of a hose can delight one particular member of our family. Now back to the noise topic this same member of our family (well really all of the members) found much of the same delight in hearing a thumping noise at about 148 bpm.

Be sure and find joy in the small things.

Laughter BETTER Than Winning

Well in a recent card game, (with numbers and colors), one team was so far behind the other in the points category that the purpose of the game was to "Throw Caution to The Wind" and just bid for control and kicks. This method included one round of bidding without looking at the cards (to a bid of more than 164 and less than 166.) Needless to say the bid was not attained. The last round included three "passes" and one bidder that antied up for less than 21 (but more than 19). [Needless to say that this time around the bid was achieve and in fact it was tripled.] At this point in the adventure, a light was shining on a long awaited dream [to put 5 of the color that is higher than all other colors in the non-playable section,] but this was not all the dream was far exceeded. Not only were there 5, of the color that is higher than all other colors, but the one that determined the color was left with none of this color in his or her hand. And to top all dreams, the point value of the cards in non-playable section was that of 2.5 times the original bid and included a little bird and the card that takes all other cards. When it was realized what was happening by those in participation there seemed to be a lack of air in the room as all had a difficult time breathing (between laughter.)

WOW! When dreams are fulfilled!!

Sniffles!

Recent Game Score

It was requested by one on the many followers, Woman Not in the West, (WNW) [ Please see Ground Rules for Name Posting] that the final score card from a recent game of Seagull be posted on our blog. So please enjoy.



The first picture, in an attempt to protect the participants, was taken from a distance. The score card is located on the second shelf to the left of the boxy object. (Besides you know the family motto, "We are all WINNERS, we just keep score to improve our math skills!")

Ground Rules for Name

In an effort to avoid any Identity Theft; only code names (formerly known as Bowling Names) may be used. And the names may change at any time, though preferrably NOT in the middle of a posting and hopefully NOT even from posting to posting made on the same day or about the same event, etc. Although this rule is NOT set in stone and is subject to change at anytime. Also spell checking is optional so as to throw off any internet search engines trying to track the blog, and NOT just as an excuss for the spelling ability of one or multiple of the posters.

Thanks,

Squeaky
