Memorize Monday - Temple Week - T-6 weeks

I'm giving the Girl Child a week off. Partly because she isn't really playing along; it's just me encouraging her by hanging stuff on the wall in the hall. (I really should write Dr. Seuss books.) And partly because she has a TON of reading to do this week so her time is better spent elsewhere. She'll be going to the temple for the first time this week. Pretty exciting stuff.

WMD - Even More Wedding

Memorize Monday - T-7.1

Current Passage: James 1:5

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

Y si alguno de vosotros tiene falta de sabiduría, pídala a Dios, quien da a todos abundantemente y sin reproche, y le será dada. Pero pida con fe, no dudando nada, porque el que duda es semejante a la ola del mar, que es movida por el viento y echada de una parte a otra.

WMD - It's STILL pink...

But I'm making progress.

The first pic has photos with one or the other of them making a face. When I found the quote by Emily Bronte I knew it was a match made in heaven.

Memorize Monday - T-8.1

 This week we are learning Spanish prayer words.

Luke 11:1-13 is a great passage about prayer; how to pray and what to pray for. It includes the Lord's Prayer as well as a comforting invitation to pray:

Luke 11:9 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
Lucas 11:9 Pedid, y se os dará; buscad, y hallaréis; llamad, y se os abrirá,

WMD - It's Pink.

Remember in Beauty and the Beast when Belle and the Beast are about to have their first civil dinner together? Belle comes in the room all decked out and Lumiere whispers to Beast, "Say something about the dress." Beast replies in his gruff way: "It's Pink!" That's how I felt when I returned to my desk tonight.

I almost never craft in pink. But it is the perfect color for Mrs. DS3. She certainly is a lovely, feminine girl.

Wedding Album Progress

The DS3's have been married for three weeks and I'm just barely getting some pages done. At this rate my posts will be wedding album pages for a while. The goal is two layouts a week...piece o' cake.

Memorize Monday T-9.1

Current Passage: Moroni 10:3-5

 Behold, I would exhort you that when ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your hearts.

  And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having  faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.

  And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things.

Memorize Monday T-10.2

Wow! that week went by fast! OK so the last MM post sat unpublished for a couple of days so I'm playing a little catch-up. I know it makes all you rabid readers crazy when I slack off. (Insert rolling eyes here.)

Current Passage: I saw a pillar of light directly over my head, above the brightness of the sun, which descended gradually until it fell upon me.... When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other -  This is my Beloved Son, Hear him!  Joseph Smith - History 1:16-17

Read the Book of Mormon in 60 Days

Welcome to February...already.

Turns out the Girl Child has approximately 60 Days before she enters the MTC. Her mission president, Larry Gelwix, has asked her to read the Book of Mormon in its entirety before entering the mission field. She has read it through before but has accepted the challenge to read it again before April. I'll be joining her in this assignment. Because I'm really only 12 years old in spirit, I enjoy a visual record of my progress and a place to put a sticker when I've reached the goal. If you would care to join us in this 60 Day challenge you can print off your chart here. You don't have to start from the beginning. (OK some of you do and get jittery just by hearing me say that...I love you JuJu!) Go ahead and pick up where you last read. I've been reading in Helaman so that's where I'll start. If you haven't read in a while, or have never read the Book of Mormon before, 3rd Nephi  chapter 11 is a great place to begin. It's kind of picking up the "story" in the last chapter but you can go back and catch up the history.

Read it. Love it. Believe it.
