One-By-One

This is a tender mercy I received from the Lord through institute on March 12 that I thought I would share.

"When the Savior came to the Nephies as a resurrected being, He blessed every child one-by-one. Then, He let every person touch His hands and feel His sides one-by-one. He healed every sick or afflicted one-by-one. If there were approx. 2,500 people left after the earthquakes and tempests, it took more than 24 hours to bless and talk with each person one-by-one. With his power, Christ could have blessed the entire multitude at once but He took time for each individual, one-by-one. In our hrried lives, we need to emulate Christ and slow down. We need to lend the utmost importance to our relationships; to our family, friends, classmates, associates, our Lord, each one-by-one."

( See 3 Nephi 11)

Saturday Night Flashback

Let me first point out the extremely attractive Jamaican Paul in the background of this picture. Now, in the summer of 2006 we took a family vacation to St. Croix, US Virgin Islands. It was awesome!! We had a condo on the beach, drove on the wrong side of the road, ate the most delicious cheeseburgers EVER, played in the sand and attempted to get a tan. (Obviously the last thing never really happened!)
