Out of the mouths of prophets...

I totally agree that we live in troubling times and that we as a society have made some really bad decisions. But I also feel a little unsettled that as part of the "Out of the mouths of prophets" montage that a speech Ezra Taft Benson gave that was not to members of the church is included as part of it. Not that what he says doesn't have truth to it, but it just seems like they are taking it out of context a little. I dunno...maybe I'm just being too sensitive about the whole thing. :)

And by the way, I love your blog. I in no way meant the above comment to be offensive to you or anything. In fact, if you want to, delete it. I was just wondering about mixing his political life and his prophetic life. I realize he was an apostle when he gave the speech. Anyway, sorry to waste so much of your time on this. Please don't be offended. Keep on posting. I enjoy reading your blog!

Good point, and I am not offended. I appreciate your sharing your comments.

I hadn't really thought about the mixture of Church and State speeches in the clip. I had liked the message--that we live in troubling times and have done so for a while, but that we can have peace and hope. It's probably odd that it brought me comfort in our crazy economic times....

I'm glad you would share your thoughts and feelings. Comment away!

Let's Get It Started

Today I found a new online party planning resource . Holiday, birthday, bridal shower, baby shower, weddings, etc. It helps you create invitations or ecards, is customizable, offers list management and guest list management, sends event/birthday reminders, manages potluck sign up lists, links to Twitter and Facebook, helps you decide on a date, links to your e-calendar, links to party planning supplies, manages a to-do list, offers party planning ideas, hints and tips, and is pretty much amazing. In addition, it is free. I'm hooked.

Shot and Chaser

I did it! Today I braved a shot of wheat grass and am forever grateful to the Jamba Juice employee (Alexa) who recommended the orange juice shot as a chaser over an orange wedge. I'm not sure why today was such a momentous day. Wheat grass is something I've wanted to try for a while, but haven't dared do - kind of like my purchasing soy milk and hesitance to drink. (Thanks, Renee , for the recent soy smoothie introduction!) All I can say now is wow, wheat grass - talk about fresh!

Puttin' on the Witch!

Tonight, the majority of my family met at Gardner Village for dinner at Archibald's and then planned to wander the Village. It's Witchapalooza and witching time at the Village. By the time we finished dinner, most of the shops were closing. We looked around a bit and snapped a few pictures. I'll post them another time. The witches and pumpkins and Halloween decor was frightfully fun, but I don't think I've had such poor customer service at a restaurant before. I wish I could say that the restaurant was packed. Maybe there were extenuating circumstances we weren't aware of. Maybe it was an off night for them. Maybe I'm just grouchy. Birthdays sometimes do that. Guess I'd better see the Witch Doctor or something to get it straightened out. The company was grand: mom and dad; Adam, Renee, AJ, and EL; Nathan, Bekah, RD, and AM, and me. Their service gave us a lot of time to sit and visit. RD and AJ were darling. Both were in very good moods. RD had on hi...
