"Oh Lord God, deliver us in Thy due time from the little narrow prison, almost as it were, total darkness of paper, pen and ink and a crooked, broken, scattered and imperfect language."
-Joseph Smith
"Life's most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?"
- Martin Luther King Jr.
The Gods we worship write their names on our faces, be sure of that. And a person will worship something, have no doubt of that either. One may think that tribute is paid in secret, in the dark recesses of his or her heart, but it is not. That which dominates imagination and thoughts will determine life and character. Therefore it behooves us to be careful what we are worshiping. For what we are worshiping, we are becoming.
-from GATES OF HEAVEN
HALLOWEEN!
Okay folks. Here's the promised festive photo's. Aren't they cute? You can pretty much tell what each of them are except for Liza and Maillie, they are mermaids. Halloween was quite fun as usual. We had a fun family day and ended up being late to our wards trick-or-treat at the church. Yes, I did say TRICK-or-treat. I am boycotting the term TRUNK-or-treat because frankly it sounds stupid and untraditional and I love Halloween, and though I resited change at first, I do actually like the safety and fun of trunk-or-treat, I just hate the name. So in my vocabulary, it's the ward trick-or-treat. Last year it was goulishly fun with tons of people, doughnuts, a fire blazing, and a movie playing on an outside big screen t.v. People stayed late. This year it started at 6:30ish and we arrived at 7:15, and everyone was heading home. Wierd. So we tricked and treated the old traditional way, going only to homes that we knew. It was fun. So, Happy belated Halloween! Ta ta.

Hey--I wish there was a place for general comments. Anyway. I got the castle on sale at Target. Because the kids only get one present, they usually know months in advance what they have their hearts set on...so I peruse the sales and snag the gift when it is on sale. It works out great!
I know what you mean about family feeling like they have to help our deprived children. It is funny how people show love. Sometimes the only way they know how, is by buying presents. So the concept of limiting Christmas presents to many feels like limiting love. Oh well. My kids think other children are greedy because they ask Santa for more than one present! Hahaha. XOXO!
