Walking by faith on a firm foundation.

This picture was taken on December 29th 2015 @ Spring Valley Hospital in Las Vegas NV.  Mom ended up in the hospital before Emilee and Josh's wedding.  We were all disappointed that she didn't get to be at the wedding.  Jared is visiting with his Grandma in this picture.  Mom loves to visit with her grandchildren and great grandchildren.  Mom is the best grandma in the entire world!!!!

Today is Thursday January 28, 2016.  My oldest son, Eric Keele was born 30 years ago today.  We celebrated Eric's birthday by eating dinner at Chubby's Restaurant in Pleasant Grove, UT.



Yesterday on Wednesday January 27, 2016 I went with my mom and dad to the cemetery office in Pleasant Grove.  We picked out and purchased their  plots where they will be buried.  As strange as it may sound, it was a very calm and peaceful time.  Perhaps it's all part of helping me deal with the fact that death is actually a part of life.  It's the doorway back into Heaven where we all began.  Birth is the passageway here to earth life.  Death takes us home to our Father in Heaven who created us and loves us more than we can comprehend.  Why do we fight so hard to keep our loved ones here on earth with us?  We know where they are going is so beautiful and peaceful and wonderful.  Even better, their spirits are alive and very well.  It's their physical bodies that are laid to rest to wait for the day of Resurrection.  That day will come for all of us.  We have been promised.
I am so grateful for the foundation that my parents gave me.  Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.  Repentance.  Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins. The gift of the Holy Ghost.  We have no need to fear!  We walk by faith.
