Virtues

It has been in the 90's for the past few days and even at night in the house, it is still in the high 80's. Now those of you that live in Texas, or Arizona might think that we are pretty sissy to be complaining about the heat. Well, it is important to remember that we aren't USED to the heat, that makes a difference. Also no one  in Seattle usually has air conditioning, so the heat does seem pretty unbearable.

I won't write much for a couple of reasons, one it is late and I have my niece downstairs and I want to spend time with her, plus this lap top is getting hot on my legs :)

I will leave you with a couple of quotes that I really touched me today. We must stay true to the values and virtues that we believe in!  We truly should be making a difference in the world every day for GOOD!  Enjoy!

"STAND TALL AND BE STRONG IN DEFENSE OF THOSE GREAT VIRTUES WHICH HAVE BEEN THE BACKBONE OF OUR SOCIAL PROGRESS. WHEN YOU ARE UNITED, YOUR POWER IS LIMITLESS. YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING YOU WISH TO ACCOMPLISH. AND OH, HOW VERY, VERY GREAT IS THE NEED FOR YOU IN THE WORLD OF CRUMBLING VALUES WHERE THE ADVERSARY SEEMS SO VERY MUCH TO BE IN CONTROL"               ~ Gordon B. Hinckley
