Study music

As of late it seems that everything I once swore against is actually maybe not so bad?? weird?
I used to think that study music was lame and didn't work...that it was or squares! However these past few days I have been trying it out... and it actually seems to be working. :O! I was shocked the first time when I manged to sit down write a WHOLE five paper without checking social media or making up excuses to do something. It's a theory I am still working on. But I think I am on the path of becoming a believer.

My favorite so far is:

Selling my body

My whole life I have admittedly hated on people that sell their bodies...or aka 'donate' plasma. I mean let's be real how can it be a donation if one is getting paid for it?
That'd be like if one said "thanks for the donation" to the cashier at the grocery store.
I must admit that today...I sold my plasma for the first time. It was deftly an experience. The girl across from me fainted twice...I hate needles...and blood grosses me out. But after I donate again on Thursday I will be rich enough to go to L.A. this weekend.
So yeah, I sold my body to be able to see California and the grand canyon.

The cost of KNOWING

The cost of knowing is high. When we know something we are held responsible for that knowledge. With knowledge comes power...and blessings.

One wouldn't expect a child to be responsible to do all the household chores...but adults, they know... although I'll admittedly say sometimes I wish I didn't know how to clean the bathroom.

When we know something we are expected to ACT upon that knowledge.

Loaf of bread

The springfield building chapel makes me feel like I am in a loaf bread. The architecture creates just the right cruve on the ceiling and walls.
It makes me think about how Christ is called the bread of life. He is the bread of life and we promise the chapel weekly to become like Him...I like to think of myself as a crumb leaving the loaf every sunday to go out and reflect the bread.

Christmas Tree

It's finally starting to feel like Christmas in our house...

 Walmart had a variety of trees to chose from ranging from pine fresh to cotton candy swirl. All perfectly sized and trimmed. 

We finally choose a black and white swirl with a lovely cheap bathroom soap smell.

It really fills up the room huh? ;)

We hung it up with some nice masking tape.

OH CHRISTMAS TREE OH CHRISTMAS TREE! :)

Love

Love is the theme always...in every song, movie, and debately every conversation.

Perhaps because it has been the theme since the beginning. Our loving Heavenly Father crated a plan for us because He loves us. Christ atoned for us because He loves us.

Love isnt love until you give it away.

Christlike attributes are clearly love...it is patient, selfless, humble, forgiving, understanding...it is charitable, virtuous,  honset...it is kind, listens...it sacrifices.

I see it all day in everything around me. In the gospel of Jesus Christ. In familes. It's in saying sorry first and meaning it. In the breeze on a hot day. In the old couple in front of me on bus sharing crackers. The way my sister calls me to proudly declare what her husband has been up to. The way my brother and his wife talk about their daughter. In an older married man still opening the door for his wife.

I stand by holland when I say "Christlike love is the greatest need we have"

My new addiction

I am offically addicted to making memes. Here a few I have tried over the last few days...
