COOKIE CRUMBS: 4th of July

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

4th of July

For the the 4th as is our tradition we headed up to my brother Tom's house.

I made omelets for the whole crew, without the ring leader, my dad, which we have no pictures of but it happened all the same and then we attended the small town parade to load up on candy.

We visited with family, ate yummy food, played on the tramp, swam in there pool road the 4 wheelers and did some horse back ridding, this is their new toy.
