life...

I know this life was designed to be a test and a trial and a learning experience, but some lessons I don't like so well. I know I need to learn them, and that they are my weaknesses...obviously - or else I wouldn't have to learn them more than once, like I do. I wonder if everyone has moments where they astonish themselves with the magnitude of their own stupidity. I just have to learn better, and work harder, and not repeat so many of my mistakes. If the Lord can truely make weak things become strong, then hopefully he will help me with this.

And now...

Since you've seen the pictures of what happened to me, here's a few of what happened to my car:









(BTW... I don't know what's up with the date stamp on my pics...but these WERE taken just yesterday.)

accidents...

Okay so wrecking one's car really sucks. You're hurt, and you're without transportation, and it's just plain miserable.

Below are pics of my very colorful ankle, and burned hand (you really do have to wach out for those airbags...)

A few thought's about conference...

A few conference thoughts as posted on my FB profile:

Eliza Ruth Sewell loves General Conference. My favorite talk so far was Elder Bednar's...

"Feeling a security and constancy of love is a rich blessing. Such love nurtures and sustains faith in God, such love is a source of strength and casts out fear, such love is the desire of every human soul."
--David A. Bednar, Oct. 3rd, 2009

Eliza Ruth Sewell thinks conference is wonderful! My favorite talk thus far today has been President Monson's... service really does bring the greatest joy I've felt in this life...

Favorite quote this morning:
"Even more amazing than modern technology is our oportunity to access information directly from heaven without hardware, software, ot monthly service fees"
--Russell M. Nelson, Oct. 4th, 2009

Eliza Ruth Sewell has loved this conference! I can't wait til April, when it comes around again.

I've never heard such a powerful testimoney of the Book of Mormon as that which was borne by Elder Holland this afternoon. I love these wonderful men who lead us...

Worry...

I wish I knew what's up with my mind that I worry so much. I'll have this one teeny thought latch itself to my brain, and then it will totally blow itself out of proportion until it has taken over my whole thought process with this huge horrible worst case scenario. Do these scenarios ever actually come to pass? NO! So why won't my brain just be normal and happy?

Pictures!!!

I'm so happy that I've finally learned how to add pictures to my blog. I know it's not really that complex, but I couldn't do it before, and now I can. Woo-hoo!

I laughed hard...

Okay, so here's the thing. I am a firm believer in the saying "moderation in all things." I'm not a fan of extreme behavior or viewpoints... therefore, groups like PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) and many others like them do not find a fan in me. Beyond that, I am highly amused by those who are witty enough to mock them effectively. Call me horrible, but this has got to be the funniest bumper sticker I've seen in ages:
