Who's the driver?!


Last week while we were at Maverik getting our weekend 52 ounces of Diet Pepsi and Pepsi mix, we came upon this scene.  No wonder the car is in such bad shape!  

2nd Time in 32 Years!!!



This year marks the second time in our married lives that we have canned peaches together-well without fighting that is.  Our kids know that this is nothing short of a miracle but I think we have finally conquered our differences-at least in this one area.  19 quarts of canned peaches and 15 quarts of frozen!
Then last Friday, while I was away, Jeff did 20 more quarts of frozen peaches! He is amazing:)

Life



A few Sundays ago in our ward, a young woman played a violin solo. I admire anyone who plays a string instrument. I have never attempted to play, so I have no personal reference point, but it seems so difficult to know where to place your fingers to achieve the right note. As she was playing, at times the notes were just a little off but the overall music was beautiful with clear tone.
I had the impression that our lives are very much like that. Sometimes we are just a little off. We may have difficulities-trials, weaknesses and disappointments we must endure. But for the most part, if we stay close to Heavenly Father and trust and have faith in Him, our lives have a clear path and we have peace.
I know He loves each of us and is always near to help us reach our potential-our perfect tone-our divine identity made known to us through Him.
