Political Rant...

-
It is no lie that I hate politics...My husband loves them...although we mostly agree on things politically I loathe the hatred that arises during politics. I have to be honest...I actually voted against someone yesterday just because the research I had found the first thing I saw him write was something negative about his opponent and continued on that way through the majority of article (I found out beforehand that he was a member of the church) and usually my mind generally gravitates that way because most (not all) are kind and compassionate. But this guy did not show me that and I just couldn't vote for him and he lost (by a landslide) I won't say who...but it was  a local leader.
Everyone knows I was a Mitt Romney supporter...I think it comes down to issues and what is more important to certain people. For me the importance was getting this nation out of debt...now granted that will NEVER happen but it sure would help to cut the deficit to help stabilize our economy...MANY people don't see it that way they want things for free and life to be "easy". Well life is far from easy and I must admit with the turn out of the election it could very well make things more difficult BUT...that is beside the point we have endured trials, heartaches, challenges and we will continue to do that no matter who is President. We need to stand together as a nation and help our President be successful.

Everyone is so concerned about the secondary things of "women's rights", "gay marriage" "abortion issues" those will all come in time if we can fix the bigger issues of national debt, foreign policies, security issues etc...but I just have to say what is all this crap about women's rights anyway? I don't see us being abused politically in any way...k nuf said....anyway...my point is this....


Luke 11:17

17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.
Basically it is this...the country is divided and if we can't come together and work together then we are all just as much at fault as our President of this country...
I find it sad that people threaten to move out of the country and I know most are probably just joking to ease their minds on the matter but my thoughts are if you really feel that way...then go and good luck... I find it really sad that people feel they have to criticize our President to the point of comparing him with people who have done very bad things. I may not agree with his political policies but he is a good man who wants good for this country just like Romney does. And I hope he means it when he says he wants to sit down with Romney to help better the country...
But if not we need to stand together and stop the division. Life moves on...we must move with it. 

One more rant that I need to add. I saw a lot of people comment about getting their food storage into high gear...."hasn't the prophet being telling us to do that for years now?" maybe it is a good thing Obama was re-elected so that people will actually do just that! 

Okay rant over....
Congratulations to our President for winning his second term. May we hold on tight and enjoy (or try) to enjoy the ride!

Gods Hands

God's Hand I haven't blogged in a while. I guess it's time to show some gratitude. I have come to realize in the last year or so how often we take for granted how incredibly involved our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ are in our everyday life. Just because we can't not see them physically, I find that we often forget how much they really do have their hands extended and are continually guiding us.        Of course I do believe that life is all about choices. The good, the bad, the ugly, or rather determining what is good, better and best. What we choose can shape a lot of who we are and who we have the capability of becoming. We have agency. He let's us choose. But as we follow His guidance through the Spirit I definitely think He knows where He needs us better than we do. He also knows how it will benefit us and others around us the most. I believe in being in the right place at the right time.       Most of you are aware tha...

Merry Christmas 2018! I deeply apologize for the 2nd year in a row not sending out Christmas cards/letters. I just haven't had the extra time or patience to do so. I haven't been on my blog in forever and almost forgot how to post anything. I hope you all enjoy. The past couple years have brought some trials as is life. But through it all we have continually be blessed and the outpouring of love and support from those around us have made burdens lighter. We are most grateful for our Savior and His divine hand in our lives and that is really all we can ask for. A short blurb for each of us. Nathan's business is expanding which brings more travel and more stress. But blessings all the same. He hiked the JMT trail this summer/fall for his birthday that was in May. He spent two weeks with bare minimums to survive the Yosemite mountains. It was quite the accomplishment I must say. He also co-runs a flying club that people rent planes and learn ho...

CONTEST!

I sat thinking today (dangerous I know)  and decided to change things up on my blog today...who doesn't like a CONTEST! Yup...now don't get too excited. You won't be winning millions of dollars or anything like that. Now I have friends ALL over the country and out of the country for that matter. SO if someone outside of Vegas or Utah wins this ridiculously silly contest, then I will figure out something I can mail to you. If you are local or in Utah I will make you something amazing. My amazing chocolate cupcakes, or fresh baked bread, or maybe even invite you to our home for dinner (if you are local). But as I was pondering my lack of energy today. It has taken me years...I mean years to find the secret trick to getting my energy back and back quickly. Most people I know rely on I also know several people who rely on Energy drinks/Boosters I even know a few who rely on  to get them through the day do to lack of energy as well as pain. Well for me any ...
