It's been a crazy couple of weeks in our family. We have been dealing with my Mom's health problems trying to find answers and solutions. A long and often frustrating experience. As we dealt with that, a week and a half ago, my 15 year old nephew was hit by a car while crossing the street. He's okay, but he has a tear on his kidney and so no rough housing for a few months. At work, a former student's mom is threatening a lawsuit and so now the district is having us jump through hoops to keep everyone happy, and then a week ago, while on our way to Ogden to visit my Mom, we were rear-ended on the freeway. Again, everyone is okay, but can you say Arghhh!!! As if everyday life isn't stressful enough!! (Oh ya, and tonight I dropped my cell phone in the sink of running water - trying the rice trick!) But that brings me to my post title. Two weeks ago, when I was teaching my Sunday school class, the lesson posed a question that has been on my mind. If you could not have the gospel in your life what would you miss the most?
My favorite answer from the boys (we teach 13 year olds) was the one who said he would miss the song "Love at Home" which his mother sings whenever he is fighting with his brother!
The answer that I shared with the class has stuck with me. What would I miss? I would miss the Knowledge that I have that my Heavenly Father is there watching out for us and that no matter what, when I turn to Him, He is there. What would my life be like with out that knowledge? I honestly think that there are times that I would quite literally lose my mind if I didn't know that one thing. So while there may have been moments this week when I thought I was headed in the crazy lady direction, over all I know that I will be okay. In this world we live in, that is something to be grateful for.

Oh my word! What a crazy time you've had lately. Hope things normal out soon :). You sure have a good perspective on it, though.
Seriously, could you have any more drama in your life. I'm sorry that it seems like it's pouring, but as always you have a great attitude about it all.
I'm glad everyone is o.k. I love the times in life when the drizzle because a down pour! What would we do without our knowledge and the Holy Ghost to comfort us. I hope everything gets better and back to the normal drizzle that is life. Not to say thats its depressing but just that HF is keeping His promise of testing us.
