Eisley

Eisley is one of my favorite groups right now.

According to Wiki-

Eisley is a rock band from Tyler, Texas, consisting of four siblings (Chauntelle, Sherri, Stacy, and Weston DuPree) and their cousin (Garron DuPree), all of whom were born and live in Texas. Eisley means ice island in several Germanic languages, though it is not intentional, since the name actually originates from Mos Eisley.

They are fantastic! Check em out

Fields for Gold+Gold=Bliss

FACT:  Idaho is my favorite destination for the month of September.

Who can resist the fields of Gold?

Labor Day weekend I went camping with my big sis and her cute family.  What wonderful nieces and nephews I have:)  Along with the company, Idaho is so beautiful!  The hills are calling my name..

There were more people there that I expected.  I thought it was just going to be Jess and her family, but it turned out that it was a big family reunion on Roberts side.  I met a lot of good people and had a lot of fun, "Yip, yip!"

Happy Trails

Jordan and I went on a little adventure together.  With him on my shoulders, we passed through fields of gold and jumped over big pits..risking life and limb.  On our way back to camp, we came in contact with a cow! How fierce!

God, Family, Country - Part 1

God, Family, Country
Our Three Great Loyalties
By Ezra Taft Benson

Section One: God
1. The Perfect Example

Benson starts off by bringing your attention to the fact that, 18 years of Christ's life is summed up with this one scripture, "And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man." (Luke 2:52.) He then gives an in depth description of each part and relates it to our own lives. Here are some passages that struck me the most.

Hard Work-

You will never wish or dream yourself into heaven. You must pay the price in toil, in sacrifice, and in righteous living.

Politics-

Have the courage to apply this standard of truth determine what the effect of the various issues at stake is upon the character, the integrity, and the freedom of man. Which increase his freedom? Which abrogate or destroy? Which recognize and respect the individual dignity of man?

Worth-

We have the greatest wealth ever known because we care free and our people have been encouraged to produce it-out of themselves. It is foolish to place our material wealth first and decide that it, rather than the freedom and energy that produce it, is our real worth.

True Wealth-

Freedom, a willingness to work, and the desire to serve your God through service to your fellowmen-these are the sources of true wealth. Cling fast to these truths, and you must inevitably increase in favor with man.

What's Most Important-

"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" (Mark 8:36.)

Lead-

Yours is a great responsibility in this day when the need for courageous leadership[ is so urgent. You can become those leaders!

Become-

Young men and women of the free world, yours is a great challenge. You can be choice spirits in your land. Forget not that each of you has been endowed with the priceless gift of free agency. Each of you is, in very deed, the master of your fate, and Christ should be the captain of your soul. You need not be the victims of circumstance, for unto you it is given to achieve and become "perfect, even as your father is in heaven is perfect." (Matthew 5:48.)

If you follow this divine pattern established by the resurrected Christ, you cannot fail, for you will have fulfilled the measure of your creation.

This is just some of the juicy goodness that Benson shares. Many times he refers to you and me as, young men and women of the free world, I like this a lot. When you read these things in the organized way he presents them in his book, you will surely learn more. Read it!:)
 
Stay tuned for Part 2, coming soon.
