The Shiny Bicycle

Everybody makes mistakes, and even though it's not easy, with the help of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ we can receive forgiveness for our sins. Isaiah 1:18

Our Fun Family Vacation

Some of life's happiest moments come from spending time with your family. Successful families are built and maintained with faith, love, compassion, work and wholesome recreational activities.http://mormonchannel.org/mormon-messages 

In our lives these days there are so many things that are trying to matter to us; emails, and phone calls, and advertisements and all these things that kind of a barrage us, but I feel like some of the strongest, happiest moments that I've ever felt in my life are when I'm with my children, when I'm with my family. And it's when we come out and do things like this when we get away from the world and we're just together as a family and we can relax, and you know, laugh at each other, and mom says something crazy and and that makes, you know, my brother Casey say something to her. As we grow up and we get older and we all kind of go our own ways and we start living our own lives, you know, fulfilling our own dreams, it's really good to come back together and reconnect. If we ever need anything we're always there for one another. We talk to our family quite often by telephone and they can say they're fine and everything's great, but you don't get a true feel of how their life is going in a five-minute telephone call. But if you get together as a family you can see how their family is together, how they are reacting together, and if they're happy or if they have problems.
We all talk about it together, we all work it out together. "Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities."

God's Greatest Creation

As children of God, we are His greatest creation. "Anyone who studies the workings of the human body has surely seen God moving in His majesty and power." -Elder Russell M. Nelsonhttp://mormonchannel.org/mormon-messages

Anyone who studies the workings of the human body has surely seen God moving in His majesty and power. Each eye has an auto-focusing lens. Nerves and muscles control two eyes to make a single three-dimensional image. Each ear is connected to compact equipment designed to convert sound waves into audible tones. Your heart is an incredible pump. It has four delicate valves that open and close more than 100,000 times a day. Think of the body's defense system; it perceives pain, it generates antibodies. The body renews its own outdated cells and regulates the levels of its own vital ingredients. The many amazing attributes of your body attest to your own divine nature. The Apostle Paul described it as, "a temple of God." How could this be? Because your body is the temple for your spirit, and how you use your body affects your spirit. God is the father of our spirits. We are part of His divine purpose. When He created us physically we were created in the image of God. Development of the spirit is of eternal consequence. When we truly know our divine nature, then we will control our appetites. We will focus our eyes on sights, our ears on sounds, and our minds on thoughts that are a credit to our physical creation as a temple of our Father in Heaven. For these physical gifts, thanks be to God.

John 5:2-12

2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. 
3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. 
4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had. 
5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. 
6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? 
7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. 
8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise , take up thy bed, and walk. 
9 And immediately the man was made whole , and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath . 
10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed. 
11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk. 
12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

Seek Ye the Kingdom of God

Jesus teaches not to lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, but rather to lay up treasures in heaven.

Luke 12:13-34

13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. 
14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? 
15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness : for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. 
16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: 
17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? 
18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. 
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul , thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat , drink, and be merry. 
20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? 
21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself , and is not rich toward God. 
22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. 
23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. 
24 Consider the ravens : for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls? 
25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? 
26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? 
27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 
28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith? 
29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. 
30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. 
31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. 
32 Fear not, little flock ; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom . 
33 Sell that ye have, and give alms ; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. 
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
