What We Look Like

A few weeks ago, I shared one of my favorite mormon.org profiles, Tessa Winger (see below). Today I had the privilege to hear the stories of more beautifully ordinary (and some not-so-ordinary), faithful Mormons. It always blows me away to hear the misconceptions about who make up the LDS church and what we look and act like. I believe that people and events are brought into one's life for a reason and to teach us lessons...about life, about ourselves, about God. For different reasons, these stories have touched and taught me.

I am a Mormon

When I first saw this mom's story I cried. When I saw it again, I cried. I don't know what it is about her story. Maybe it's her humor. Maybe it's how loving her husband seems. Maybe it's her honesty in admitting her anger and then her ability to look past that to a profound understanding. Watching this video gave me something to aspire to. Thank you for that, http://www.mormon.org/.

Arrow of Light

Just add this to the proud days that I have enjoyed as a mom to this phenominal kid. Cade earned his Arrow of Light and moved from Cub Scouts to 11-year old Scouts.
