Let us not live a life that would bring regret!

Gordon B. Hinckley “Let us not live a life … that would bring regret. … It is not going to matter very much how much money you made, what kind of a house you lived in, what kind of a car you drove, the size of your bank account—any of those things.... What is going to matter is that dear woman who has walked with you side by side as your companion through all of the years of life and those children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren and their faithfulness and their looking to you … with respect and love and deference and kindness.” (in my case, dear man that walks by my side)

Is anybody out there?

Does anybody ever look at blogs anymore? I can't tell if they do! I hardly ever get any comments so I can't tell if any one reads or looks at my blog. If any ones out there in the blog world please let me know! I feel lonely here!:(

Reasons for girls night out!

Reason for "Girls Night out", is for women to fill their emotional well, so that when she goes back to her precious family she will be emotionally stable and will be able to have the love and patience that she need to take care of them and nurture them! The mother and wife needs to take time to connect with other women to fill her emotional well, so that she may have the emotional strength to fill her children's emotional well!

Another reason why it is important to have time out with sisters and friends is so that the wife won't become resentful when the husband goes off to his weekly evening activities, that is not work related! This will also give her time to find who she is as a person, talking and relating her experiences with other women also helps her know she is not alone in the world trying to raise a family. It gives her time to talk over her problems with other women that can relate and understand her feelings!

Schools closing in Utah?

I heard they were closing schools for the swine flu in Utah, is that true???? Some one please respond if you know the answer and let me know!

Pandemic, swine flu

I want to talk about the swine flu right now! I want to make some comments about what I think is happening, from listening to some of the those who have done their research! I have been listening to Len Horowitz a (Associate Professor of the Department of Chemistry at University of Copenhagen)! And others who have done their homework on what is playing out!

Most flu's only have one virus! The swine flu has 3 virus's! (Swine, bird and Spanish flu)! It is very rare to have a flu going around like this during this season , it is out of season! IN Mexico 300 people die a day with TB. 30,000 People usually die a year with the flu, a normal flu! This is a pretty mild flu! It could mutate to something big eventually, or it becomes weaker as it mutates!!!!

When the BIG PANDEMIC comes get prepared now by BUILDING YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM!!! There are thing you can do to stave off getting sick! Take supplements like antioxidants, wheat grass, green drinks, juicing fruits and veggies, blueberry juices, Noni, wolfberry etc. Don't eat sugar, it slows down you imm. sys. for 7 hours! If you do eat sugar, take antioxidants and garlic, essential oils to build your immune system back up!!!!! Don't panic about this, just use good common sense!!! Enjoy life and laugh and pray!!! Oh and drink clean purified water!!!

Tax day April 15th Tea Party

So Richard had to work on our taxes all day long. While he was busy filling out the form. I went to Provo to the Tea party. A peaceful demonstration is one of the most effective way to to speak out to let our government leaders know that we don't approve of what they are doing!!! There were about a 3 hundred people there, even though it had snowed earlier and was still cold!

I was able to make a few comments! I don't know if the people understood what I was trying to say! I was trying to say it in a way that didn't sound too radical, but I'm afraid it sounded radical anyway! I brought my 5 boys, I want them to see freedom in action (I'm glad we still have freedom of speech)!!! My oldest son came with his family also and my son-in-law came too.

When I made my comments I talked about not wanting to live in socialistic country and how the Founding Fathers didn't want 2 parties! They didn't want any parties! I am hinting that the Republican party is infiltrated too by the neo-cons! Bush did a bail out too, not just Obama! Both parties are controlled by the secret combination!!! I said "THEY" want to turn the USA into a third world country and turn us into slaves, and dissolve our boarders!!! "THEY" meaning the secret combination, the gadianton robbers spoken about in the Book of Mormon!!!! I am afraid I didn't pick the right things to say in such a short amount of time! What I said needs a lot of explanation!

People are waking up! When Pres. Obama was put in office and was doing some more bail outs and other things that undermine the Constitution, what he has been doing is waking up some of the people! Here is a scripture in Ether 8:18-26, I will just write a few verses. 24. Wherefore, the Lord commandeth you, when ye shall see these things come among you that ye shall AWAKE TO A SENSE OF YOUR AWFUL SITUATION, BECAUSE OF THIS SECRET COMBINATION WHICH SHALL BE AMONG YOU; or woe be unto it, because of the blood of them who have been slain: for they cry vengeance upon it, and upon those who build it up. 25. for it cometh to pass that whoso buildeth it up seeketh to OVERTHROW THE FREEDOM OF ALL LANDS, NATIONS AND COUNTRIES; and it bringeth to pass the destruction of ALL PEOPLE, for it is BUILT UP BY THE DEVIL..... (I hope you can look up the rest I don't have time to type it all)

D&C38: 28. And again, I say unto you that the enemy in the secret chambers seeketh your lives. 29. Ye hear of wars in far countries, and say the there will soon be great wars in far countries but ye know not the hearts of men in your own land. read verse 30. at the end it says,"but if ye are prepared ye shall not fear".

After I took my boys to a Chinese buffet. We went and watched a movie called Mall Cop, which was funny and very entertaining! It was great to see a guy who felt like a failure in some ways in his life, become a hero! He didn't have any super powers but he was able to fight the bad guys through some cleaver thinking! We drove home in a blizzard after! It doesn't seem like spring to me!

Late birthday tribute to JASON!

Display table at my mom's viewing.

We wanted to have a big display about our mom, because we want to show what a wonderful life she lead! I am happy for my mom, because she has reunited with my Dad, sister Lynne and brother Todd! She is with her parents and sister, neice's, Great grandson, and others. What a wonderful reunion she is having! I miss her so much and shed many tears, because I miss her!!! I will not see her until Christ comes again, or when I leave this life, which ever comes first! I will miss her greatly!

Paul and Zella Williams are reunited together in the spirit world!
