Sabbath thoughts

The word of God admonishes the followers of Christ to be “pure, … peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.” For those who make peace, “the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace” (James 3:17, 18).

We have a choice. We can seek for the bad in others. Or we can make peace and work to extend to others the understanding, fairness, and forgiveness we so desperately desire for ourselves. It is our choice; for whatever we seek, that we will certainly find.
-Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "Looking for the Good", Ensign, March 2011

we for sure will have a skittles taste test next time I see you. I bet I can tell all the flavors with my eyes closed. Probably you can too. speaking of seeing you again... I don't think I'm in for havasupi. Sounds dreamy, but we've got a few out of town things this summer and I know when it comes down to it I won't be able to get away. bummer. And I have 3 single guys in my ward for your friend if she wants, when she comes to utah. one is a probably not, but the other two seem great.
