I have been following the posts made in some of the California papers and in the Salt Lake Tribune. I have been dismayed at the things that have been said. Just because good, decent, people voted to keep marriage between a man and a woman. The gays are calling us bigots, calling for our tax exemption to be taken away. Telling lies about the Prophet Joseph Smith.
Protesting at our Temples. Then they have the nerve to tell us we are the intolerant people.
What makes me so sad is to see the number of Church members that are speaking out against our Church leaders. Asking that their names be taken off the records of the Church. I see this as a weeding out to see who will support the Lord and who will not. Many are saying that we will see a new revelation come allowing the gays full membership in the church will full privelidges.
That includes Temple Marriage. I can't see that happening. A lot are saying when the older leaders of our Church die we will see a tolerance come in the younger leaders and they will allow gay marriage.
I love this Church. I love that it is directed by revelation through a Prophet of God. I know if we stand steadfast good will triumph over evil. We will have trying times before us and we must all gain a personal testimony of the Savior and hold to the iron rod.

Fun Things to think about
Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are almost dead?
Why do banks charge a fee on 'insufficient funds' when they already know there is not enough money?
Why does someone Believe you when you say there are four billion stars; but have to check when you say the paint is still wet?
Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?
Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?
If people evolved from apes, Why are there still apes?
Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?
Is there ever a day that mattresses Are not on sale?
Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?
Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?
Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?
How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures?
When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, 'It's all right?' Well, it isn't all right, so why don't we say, 'That really hurt, why don't you watch where you're going?'
Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?
In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?
How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?
And my FAVORITE......The statistics on sanity is that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.
~~~Now send this on to your friends and make them smile too!~~~ ****A day without a smile is like a day without sunshine!****

My Halloween Night. "I'm Back"
Halloween night for me was pretty fun. Tim fixed his good , hot, chili for dinner. It is so good. That was a great start to the night. After dinner everyone but me went trick or treating but me. I got to stay home and hand out treats to all the little ghosts and goblins.
Everything was going well. I had tons of kids come to the door and most of them were really cute. One large group that came to the door were really scared because guess who was right in middle of the door. Remember my spider? That's right, there he was big as ever. One little witch asked me to kill it so she could get her treat. I didn't have anything to kill it with so I stepped outside so the kids wouldn't have to come near the door to get their treats.
This Halloween was the busiest one I have had in 8 years. It was lots of fun. Josh, Megan, and Scott made a big haul for the night.
