A downright frustrating day.

Elder Maxwell - There are no separate paths back to that heavenly home.  Just one straight and narrow way, at the end of which, though we arrive trailing tears, we shall at once be "drenched in joy".

One of my very favorite things - playing frisbee with Mason at the sand dunes in Snow Canyon.

Waterfall pools were breathtaking!  (At Red Cliffs Reserve.)

So glad I stumbled upon Elder Maxwell's talk from October 2000.  It was just what I needed to hear.  "By choosing The Lord first, choosing one's friends becomes easier and much safer.  Consider the contrasting friendships in the city of Enoch compares to peers in the cities Sodom and Gomorrah!  The citizens of the city of Enoch chose Jesus and a way of life, then became everlasting friends.  So much depends on whom and what we seek first."
Bonus quote from this talk, "The perks of discipleship are such that if we see a stretch limousine pulling up, we know it is not calling for us.  God's plan is no the plan of pleasure; it is the 'plan of happiness'."

D&C 133:57 - And for this cause, that men might be made partakers of the glories which were to be revealed, The Lord sent forth the fullness of his gospel, his everlasting covenant, reasoning in plainness and simplicity.

Conversation between Darren and Mason while Annie is on in the background:
D - will the sun come out tomorrow?
M - you can bet your bottom dollar it will.
