He Is Risen

I love words. I love phrases. I love poetry and observation and I love truth. This is a beautiful truth and a glorious declaration. One that words, as much as I love them, can't really provide any more illumination for. I love everything that Easter celebrates. We celebrate Him.

Happy Easter.

Cherry Blossoms

Cherry blossoms in DC are beautiful and I was going to post some pics of them but I am on the wrong computer...my photos files are on the other one. I REALLY NEED TO ACQUIRE COMPUTER SKILLS!

Quotes

"We note that not only has the Savior suffered, in His case entirely innocently, but so have most of the prophets and other great men and women recorded in the scriptures. Name an ...apostle....any of the leaders in any dispensation....and you name someone who has had trouble. My point? If you are having a bad day, you've had a lot of company---very, very good company. The best company that has ever lived." Jeffery R. Holland

"To yearn to go back to a world that cannot be lived in now; to be perennially dissatisfied with present circumstances and have only dismal views of the future; to miss the here and now and tomorrow because we are so trapped in the here and then and yesterday---these are some of the sins...of Lot's wife." Jeffery R. Holland

"There is something in us, at least in too many of us, that particularly fails to forgive and forget earlier mistakes in life--either mistakes we ourselves have made or the mistakes of others. It is not Christian. It stands in terrible opposition to the grandeur and majesty of the Atonement of Christ.
To be tied to earlier mistakes---our own or other people's--is the worst kind of wallowing in the past from which we are called to cease and desist." Jeffery R. Holland

All my life I have tried to pluck a thistle and plant a flower wherever the flower would grow in thought and mind.
Abraham Lincoln

"I truly believe there can be no "casual Christians" for if we are not watchful and resolute, we will become in the heat of the battle a Christian "casualty".
Jeffrey R. Holland

"You are not singular in your suspicions that you know but little...the longer I live, the more I read, the more patiently I think, and the more anxiously I inquire, the less I seem to know....Do justly. Love mercy. Walk humbly. This is enough." John Adams to his grandaughter Caroline

Speaking of unity; ".......He cannot grant it to us as individuals. The joy of unity He wants so much to give us is not solitary."
Henry B. Eyring

"I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go. My own wisdom and that of all around me seemed insufficient for that day."
Abraham Lincoln

"If it is desirable that children be kind, appreciative and pleasant, then those qualities should be taught, not hoped for."
James Dobson

"Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude."
Thomas Jefferson
