We should not underestimate or overlook the power of the Lord’s tender mercies. The simpleness, the sweetness, and the constancy of the tender mercies of the Lord will do much to fortify and protect us in the troubled times in which we do now and will yet live. When words cannot provide the solace we need or express the joy we feel, when it is simply futile to attempt to explain that which is unexplainable, when logic and reason cannot yield adequate understanding about the injustices and inequities of life, when mortal experience and evaluation are insufficient to produce a desired outcome, and when it seems that perhaps we are so totally alone, truly we are blessed by the tender mercies of the Lord and made mighty even unto the power of deliverance (see 1 Ne. 1:20).
-Elder David A. BednarOf the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

Fashback Fridays

Lori and I at the Utah State Fair 9 years ago. This is just before our lives began to change in drastic ways but long live the tradition of going to the fair together.

I don't think you vacation moments would be quite as bad as you think. Although you do tend to go to the same place over and over again. I think that you guys should branch out. And I think we should start going more places again. We haven't gone to that many cool places this year but next year we are going to try for a whole lot more places! And don't forget Hawaii in 2010!
