Saturday...

Yesterday was Pioneer Day here in Utah. It is amazing how Patriotic the LDS faith is. The neighborhood was lined with American flags and people took the day to celebrate the pioneers that were persecuted by the government for their religion. It amazes me. They suffered so much yet the Church has so much respect for the government and its laws. We didn't do anything (of course) but hopefully next year we will be full fledge Utonions and honor it.

Last night we had a lightening storm for hours with fire works also lighting the sky. I layed on the trampoline with the kids for a while watching.

Today David was baptised. It was a pinnacle part in his life. I am glad he did it. Darienne gave the opening prayer, Andrew read scripture and I got con'ed into giving the benediction. We sang Closer my God to Thee ( I picked it!), and the pianist played it while we were waiting. Again, I thought of the brave band on the Titanic, playing for the passengers, giving them comfort in the last few minutes of their tragic lives..

Afterwards we went to Hollywood where we rented "The Day the Earth Stood Still".

Since I have been pretty much in the dark about anything going on these days, I had no idea if it was even watchable. I <3'ed>
