"A Witness and a Warning"

"I testify to you that God's hand has been in our destiny. I testify that freedom as we know it today is being threatened as never before in our history. I further witness that this land—the Americas—must be protected, its Constitution upheld, for this is a land foreordained to be the Zion of our God. He expects us as members of the Church and bearers of His priesthood to do all we can to preserve our liberty."
--Ezra Taft Benson, "A Witness and a Warning", Ensign, Nov. 1979, 31

"Strength During Struggles"

"Some of our struggles involve making decisions, while others are a result of the decisions we have made. Some of our struggles result from choices others make that affect our lives. We cannot always control everything that happens to us in this life, but we can control how we respond. Many struggles come as problems and pressures that sometimes cause pain. Others come as temptations, trials, and tribulations."
--L. Lionel Kendrick, "Strength During Struggles", Ensign, Oct 2001, 24

Kayak Point Beach

The weather was great this weekend. Friday evening Bill and I went for a drive and ended up at Kayak Point.

As you can see from the pictures it was beautiful, and the sunset was awesome.

The beach does not have sand on it, only small pebbles.

In this picture you can see Mt. Rainier in the back ground.
