I found this quiz on line last night. The test was fun to take and the style I was labeled as was spot on. I guess it should be since I picked the picture I liked the best! Right?

{You are SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON}
OK, you may not have been shipwrecked on a desert island, but you home is full of furniture, objects and bric-a-brac from around the world. You have an easy knack of mixing your finds while nonchalantly dealing with the practical need of a family: your home is packed with interesting things; it’s welcoming and-above all- it’s you.

Take the test and tell me your style!

So the next time you come to play please bring your ostrich and we will have races together on the beach!

As We Stand For What Is True And Right... HE Stands At Our Side

"The Standard of Truth has been erected; no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the Great Jehovah shall say the work is done.”

All I Want Is A Room Somewhere...

I have always been a fan of the musical "My Fair Lady" I found this picture on a {blog stroll} a few days ago...
My heart fluttered..... This was the small cottage hovering the earth where I could hide from my worldly cares.
Wouldn't that be neat?
When a cup of sticky kool aid is spilled on the freshly mopped kitchen floor? I could just pack up for the day and head to my little cottage... Or when the dog confuses the carpet with the backyard? Where can I go? Oh to my cottage... The fence needs to be stained this spring... You can find me at the cottage!
Wouldn't it be Loverly?
As much as I would love to have a home that backs up to a beautiful wooded area where the perfect tree stood for my little cottage, we don't. I also know that the floor would be nasty sticky if ran to my cottage before I cleaned it up.
So, I have created a little plan. I am going to stay right here... In my house full of tasks. But my heart? I am going to let her flee to the cottage. She can run and play... I know she will tell me of her adventure when she returns.
She's good like that!

What a Treat.






Saturday, February 14, 2009 I attended a session at the Accra Ghana temple with my Father. It was a sweet experience. I was so grateful I could end my African adventure in the temple. I was in awe of its beauty inside. The colors we soft and peaceful. I was amazed at the original artwork on display as we walked the halls. The gold leafing was exact. Kente cloth pattern was found around every corner. The stained glass resembled the traditional Kente. Never before have I attended a temple where I found more tradition and culture displayed in the design.
I am most grateful to be able to attend the temple. I am grateful to be able to be a service to my sisters on the other side of the veil. This particular session I was able to serve a sister who lived over a hundred years ago in Missouri. I was almost giddy when I saw Missouri of all places on my card!
Maybe this was my favorite part of the trip.
