A Good Day

Oh, it was a good day.

Today was wonderful because:

I went to the temple

I slept in 15 minutes later than I should have

Free Cafe Rio

I managed to pull off an ADORABLE haircut on this cute girl who looked 10 times better when she left than when she sat down in my chair. mmm. Good feeling.

The "runner's high" hit me around mile 3 tonight. . .LOVED IT.

And The Number of The Day Is . . .

59 people. 59.

The Family

I found these quotes on the Church's website (www.lds.org). There are so many more wonderful statements made in the media if you want to check it out. These two just really lifted my spirits and gave me hope that we live in a world where there is still some tolerance and respect for others and for a difference of opinions.

Beliefnet.com — Rod Dreher: Stand By the Mormons

“Now is the time for traditional Christians — Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox — to come to the aid of our Mormon friends. They put themselves on the front line of the traditional marriage battle like no other church group. And now individual Mormons are paying a terrible price for standing up for something we all believe in. I don't know how we can stand with them from afar, but at least we can thank them, and speak out when we see them being abused. We might also think again about how we view them. … I have deep disagreements with Mormon theology. But they are our friends and allies and fellow citizens, and they deserve our thanks and support.”

John Mark Reynolds, Philosophy Professor at Biola University – California and Thank-a-Mormon Day

“In the battle for the family, however, traditional Christians have no better friends than the Mormon faithful. It would be wrong if that support were taken for granted. We are intolerant of the false attacks on Mormon faith and family. We stand with our Mormon friends in their right to express their views on the public square. We celebrate the areas, such as family values, where we agree. A heart felt thank you may not win points from other friends who demand one hundred percent agreement from their allies, but it is the decent and proper thing to do. Thank you to our Mormon friends and allies!”
