"It takes the elect to gather the elect. That is who we are. And no one can take our place in doing it - whether it be our place in our families, or among our colleagues and friends, or in the world at large. No one, absolutely no one, can do what we have been sent here to do." ~Sheri Sew

Smile For You

tlnielsen@roadrunner.com (Tara) — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 01:16:00 +0000

"Smiling is infectious;
You catch it like the flu,
When someone smiled at me today,
I started smiling too.

I passed around the corner
And someone saw me grin;
When he smiled I realized
I'd passed it on to him.

I thought about that smile
Then I realized its worth,
A single smile, just like mine,
Could travel round the earth.

So if you feel a smile begin,
Don't leave it undetected;
Let's start an epidemic quick,
And get the world infected!"
~Unknown

Each day we are made...

tlnielsen@roadrunner.com (Tara) — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 18:54:00 +0000

"Each day we are made increasingly aware of the fact that life is more than science and mathematics, more than history and literature. There is need for another education, without which the substance of secular learning may lead only to destruction. I refer to the education of the heart, of the conscience, of the character, of the spirit—these indefinable aspects of our personalities which determine so certainly what we are and what we do in our relationships one with another." ~Gordon B. Hinckley
