"My dream house"

"My dream house would be just a two story house, but I would have a basement for a playroom. It would be made of brick. I would have a pool with a slide. 5 acres for all my pets. 5 puppies, 2 dogs, 6 kittens, 2 cats. A large river in the back with a bridge over it. I'd have a basket ball court, tennis court, and a golf course, for all my 4 kids. 3 bathrooms and 6 bedrooms. My loving husband would be rich and I'd stay home with my kids. Oh and each pet would have their own house and play with toys. In the house I'd have two hamsters and 1 bird also outside I'd have one bunny."

...and then I married Mr Smith

"Three things I hate the most"

"The first thing I hate is when my brother annoys me. He hits and makes unesusary noises.
The other thing I hate is the Spice Girls. They wear sick clothes and are nasty.
The last thing I hate is brocolie. Brocolie tastes bad and looks nasty. 
These three things are some of the things I hate most. eh!"

"Tell me what you know about Martin Luther King Jr. Why do you think people admired him so much?"

I do not know much about Martin Luther King Jr. I do know that he was black and famous. He helped many people, mostly black or African American because then the black were separate from the white in everything, like schools and waterfountains. He tried to help the African Americans be able to have religious freedom from the white because the white made them slaves. That is why people admired him to much."

And so it begins, again

At what point do you ... 1. Keep holding on waiting for inspiration to come 2. Try something different 3. Let go & walk away I'd say most of us are usually somewhere in between #1 & #2, but there are occasional moments where I find myself locked into another Jane Austin film with some oreos & milk ignoring reality all together.  Today, I'm trying to rise above some level of complacency & clear my mind at your expense. Mr Smith & I had a good run of it, but since blogs became obsolete in 2017 while Instragram chained us all to algorithms, I had no audience nor desire to write in this world. But times change, after it murders our souls, and alas we are famished for an authentic keyboard with less distractions again. So, let's catch up. They say it comes in threes... Since our job change in 2017, we experienced three more moves, three additional job changes (that don't necessarily align with the moves), and three additional children.  2018-2022 were ver...

Breaking Silence for Religion

I've never been good at being concise. I like words too much. I think outloud. And I haven't had time to blog all these conversations & posts & mental thoughts and it's eating at me to write it all down, to get it out there. These are some words that no one understands anymore: love, tolerance, faith, forgiveness, covenants, judgment, respect, moderation, self-worth, humility, equality...at least if they say they do, I wouldn't believe them. In truth, I think we should be forever understanding what these words mean. Yet I hear people affirming over & over again in their actions & with their voice that they want to be right and they want you to know it & accept the choices they're making. So much for democracy & freedom. They might say "to each his own" but I'm not idealistic anymore, people don't really believe that.  I reference "the world" a lot. Let's clarify what I mean. We can start with Holly...

Will We Seek Jesus?

By
God expects us to hold happiness and sorrow at the same time. It’s a beautiful contrary that many of us struggle to understand, but it’s really key to understanding our purpose on earth. We can easily find ourselves in a battle of emotions if we can’t accept that both can exist at the same time; we will falsely accuse ourselves or others as either ungrateful & weak, or overly strong & fake. Perhaps a lot of it is how we speak to the struggle.  Our main purpose is to experience heartache & frustration (one side of the coin), but to overcome it through the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, which provides everlasting joy (the other side of the coin). In order to really value the Atonement of Jesus Christ, many of us are humbled by the feeling of hopelessness. We will all experience some level of loss & acute awareness of our own weaknesses, usually when things start to feel out of our control. But what does holding both sorrow & joy look like? That is a quest...
