Said hi to the rock monster today.  It's always a good hike when visiting him.  Also not seeing any snakes or wild animals made it a good hike too.  And it being the day after hiking with Kelly and Kacee made it the second hike in a row.  Fun, I know.

Also two good quotes from a great talk - Ezra Taft Benson, April 1971 GC - Life is Eternal.  "Our affections are often too highly placed upon the paltry perishable objects.  Material treausre of earth are merely to provide us, as it were, room and board while we are here at school."  "No other single influence has had so great an impact on this earth as the life of Jesus the Christ.  We cannot conceive of our lives without his teachings.  Without Him we would be lost in a mirage of beliefs and worships, born in fear and darkness where the sensual and materialistic hold sway.  We are far short of the goal He set for us, but we must never lost sight of it; nor must we forget that our great climb toward the light, toward perfection, would not be possible except for His teachings, His life, His death, and His resurrection."
