Favored.....

I have been missing my yale hoodie for a few weeks now. It was a christmas gift from my dad a few years ago, and it means a lot to me.
Well today was the opening social of the Masters of Information Systems Management (MISM) lounge. Normally I don't go in there much but I went there today for the free pizza and to celebrate the new lounge. So I grabbed some pizza and bottled water, and they watched some guys play super smash brothers for a bit. Then, I just happened to look on the couch and there was a yale hoodie just laying there. I went over and sure enough it was mine.
I'm so grateful to have it back. The most awesome thing is that I had not even prayed about finding it, but heaven still smiled down on me today. Heavenly Father is awesome.

Proposition 8

On November 4th, 2008, Californians will vote on a subject that is the foundation of this Great country--the family. If the definition of marriage changes the the foundation of this great country will weaken. Then--like a house built on a poor foundation--when the hurricanes and tempests blow the foundation will crack and the house will crumble.

We as upstanding citizens of this great country need to do all we can to further the cause of proposition 8. If we succeed we can stem the advancing tide against the family. If we fail, a domino effect will occur where other states will follow the example California. If this happens eventually America will fall.

May heaven help us all in keeping America the way the founding fathers designed it--on the bedrock of morality.

Faith over fear....

This conference we heard a lot about how the world is in a tough spot. The economy is falling apart, housing market is failing, and overall things are a little scary. On the other hand a definite-resounding theme of this conference is not to fear. From multiple talks we heard that we need not fear as long as we rely on Heavenly Father, and personally, I have a firm belief that everything will be okay. I feel comforted that my Savior stands besides me, ready and able to help me when I am in need.
I wish to tell the world to "Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them" 2 Kings 16. I hope that we can have the confidence that everything will work out--because it will. All that is left for us to do is to get to work, and "lift where you stand."
