Broadway Ill Humor

I heard about the new Broadway show titled "The Book of Mormon" a couple of weeks ago and hoped that it was not true. I'm not sure why the creators of South Park and The Book of Mormon feel the need to make continual jabs at the LDS Church and the things that we believe.

A friend posted this article yesterday on facebook from Huffington Post, it made me happy to hear him say that he doesn't agree with people supporting this show. I really loved hearing what the Church had to say in response...

"The production may attempt to entertain audiences for an evening, but the Book of Mormon as a volume of scripture will change people's lives forever by bringing them closer to Christ."

...what a beautiful response, not rude but still able to share what we believe to be the truth. I hope that others can find what I and many more have found to be true, the Book of Mormon does change lives forever, a change that I am so grateful to have had.

Flag Cheers

It's 11:38 and night and instead of getting ready for bed I'm going through stuff I brought from my Mom's house in Lehi. In between things I found these two funny pieces of papers. One of the papers had flag cheers...

At girls camp we would have opening flag and closing flag every day and for roll call it was your groups responsibility to come up with a cute little cheer. My year was quite well known for coming up with really good years, I generally tried to write every single one down but wasn't always good about it. Anyway these are from my 2nd year of camp :D

(Sung to Take Me Out to a Ball Game)

Take me out to Camp Alpine.

Take me out with my friends.

Buy me capris and a 1 piece suit.

For my heart sister I've got great loot.

For it's root, root, for the tent Moms.

If they don't sleep it's a shame.

For it's hiking, swimming, and certification

at Camp Alpine!

(Sung to I Hope They Call Me on a Mission)

I hope I find a missionary.

When I have grown a foot or two.

I hope by then I will be ready.

To live, and serve, and work as happy couples do.

I hope that he will be really handsome.

And always know to choose the right.

I want to be his perfect wife.

And serve through out his life.

My Mom she's hoping for grandchildren.

My Dad just hopes that he's employed.

I hope that he will be really dreamy.

And be my strong, and happy, every loving guy.

(Sung to Book of Mormon Stories---I apologize, this one doesn't really make that much sense anymore, I'm sure it did at the time)

Came from far across the land.

All about the YL's and their ozzy, oy, oy plans.

They didn't expect that the 2nd years would rule.

We are cool

And we Rule

PhotoHunt: Black

This might seem like a different picture to some to post under the category. This picture was taken at the luncheon after my Dad's burial, a time when most people would all be wearing black, crying and not a smile to be found. Instead in LDS cultural a funeral is filled with smiles, laughter, colors and celebration of the person that lived; yes there are tears, we do miss the person. But it's more than that, though me miss the person greatly we know that we will be together with them again and would rather appreciate the things that we loved about that person.

So I have chosen this picture, because we push out the black and pulling the color with happy thoughts.
