What Twilight Guy is Tyson?

You are intelligent, strong willed and patient. A peaceful lifestyle and helping others is very important to you. You’re not a take charge kind of guy and sometimes rely too much on your feelings when you make decisions, but you always mean well and try your best to do what’s right.

Hey everyone! You all need to check out this incredible giveaway. It is for a book that is not even out yet! Go check out the details at my favorite book blog... MFA! Click here.

Which Twilight Character Am I?

You are thoughtful and care very deeply for your family. A loving home is of great importance to you and you always try to make people feel welcome. Although you have a great capacity to love, you also have a great capacity to hurt, so at times you can be sensitive. You're firm when you need to be, but people trust your judgment and appreciate the kind way you always handle things.

Daylight Savings

Would someone tell my baby that it is only 7:30, not 8:30. Sigh.

Tyson's Pumpkin

Well, Tyson finally got his pumpkin done. He was up until 1:00 this morning finishing it! He said he wanted to do it for himself more than anything...so I thought I would post the fruits of his labors! Poor guy has been working SOOO much this week, he needed some time to do something he wanted to do. In fact he is at work right now! Anyway, here it is!

Prophetic Counsel

This is very pertinent today, and I imagine it will get more so. I just had to share it.

"Make no mistake about it, brothers and sisters, in the months and years ahead, events are likely to require each member to decide whether or not he will follow the First Presidency. Members will find it more difficult to halt longer between two opinions. President Marion G. Romney said, many years ago, that he had 'never hesitated to follow the counsel of the Authorities of the Church even though it crossed my social, professional or political life.'

This is hard doctrine, but it is particularly vital doctrine in a society which is becoming more wicked. In short, brothers and sisters, not being ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ includes not being ashamed of the prophets of Jesus Christ. . . . Your discipleship may see the time when such religious convictions are discounted. . . . This new irreligious imperialism seeks to disallow certain opinions simply because those opinions grow out of religious convictions.

Resistance to abortion will be seen as primitive. Concern over the institution of the family will be viewed as untrendy and unenlightened.... Before the ultimate victory of the forces of righteousness, some skirmishes will be lost. Even in these, however, let us leave a record so that the choices are clear, letting others do as they will in the face of prophetic counsel.

There will also be times, happily, when a minor defeat seems probable, but others will step forward, having been rallied to rightness by what we do. We will know the joy, on occasion, of having awakened a slumbering majority of the decent people of all races and creeds which was, till then, unconscious of itself.

Jesus said that when the fig trees put forth their leaves, 'summer is nigh.' Thus warned that summer is upon us, let us not then complain of the heat."
--- Elder Neal A. Maxwell

For those of you interested in reading the entire quote you can read his talk here.

As someone who is concerned about one such fight going on in CA right now. I invite any who would take Elder Maxwell's counsel to stand with the First Presidency in fasting on this fast Sunday, that on Tuesday Prop 8 in CA may pass!

OH YEAH!

ONE WEEK! EXACTLY! EEEEEK!

I just wanted you all to know that I am such a dork I already have my ticket! And I can't be more excited about this movie!
