Hot, Hot, Hot! Our House Burns Down

Here's what our house looks like now. Pretty crazy pictures!!!

If you leave the arrow of your cursor on the line of text at the top of each pic, it will show you the whole paragraph of what's written there.

Thanks to the incredible kindness of SO MANY amazing friends and family members, and the love and goodness of the Lord, we are fine. It's very humbling to (again) be the recipients of such overwhelming kindness.

That's probably all I have time for at the moment. But life is still good. A little weird sometimes, but good. =o)

Oh, my. Just saw the pictures, Vick. It's heartbreaking.

I remember you sitting at that piano playing the Family Home Eveining song.

I'm just crushed for you all!

Best Author Ever for LDS Teens & Young Adults

The amazing Jack Weyland

He has so many wonderful, uplifting, incredible books that your youth those ages will adore reading. If you're a parent of a teen, do yourself a BIG favor and buy each and every one of Jack Weyland's books for them to read. Thankfully, he's got a lot of them! He just recently came out with a new book called The Samaritan Bueno. You can buy it here. And he has another new book due to come out right away titled Brianna, My Brother and the Blog. Pre-order it now at Deseret Book.

Jack Weyland books always make great reading. But they're more than that. His books address a number of difficult issues in life that will help your daughter or son think, be inspired to bless and help others, encouraged to faithfully live the gospel, and more. The thing is, Bro. Weyland does it all so well as the gifted storyteller that he is, that they'll just think they're reading a great book. They won't feel preached to in the least, but they will be able to feel the goodness that comes through the pages and into their souls.

Our Favorite Everything

Dr. John L. Lund Okay, maybe not everything. But John Lund IS fabulous. He's one of our favorite teachers, mentors, speakers, and authors.

Look through what he's got HERE. It's all amazing. His books and his lectures and workshops on CD address subjects such as:

--how to have close and loving relationships

--wise and creative parenting solutions

--being better disciples of Christ

--the different divine roles of women

and much more.

To call what John Lund does a "lecture" is quite different from how you'll feel when you experience hearing him speak for yourself on CD! He holds his listeners right in the palm of his hand, where he entertains, enlightens, inspires, and deeply moves them. He has a rare wisdom, as well as the gift of being able to connect with others.

John Lund has been an incredible blessing in our lives as an example of someone who understands our eternal possibilities, and helps point the way. We're very grateful.
