"never-ending happiness"

True, enduring happiness, with the accompanying strength, courage, and capacity to overcome the greatest difficulties, will come as you center your life in Jesus Christ. Obedience to His teachings provides a secure ascent in the journey of life. That takes effort. While there is no guarantee of overnight results, there is the assurance that, in the Lord's time, solutions will come, peace will prevail, and happiness will be yours." Richard G. Scott, Ensign, Nov. 2006, 41

Flooded again!

Lightening and thunder started about 8 PM and by 9 PM the rain was coming down hard and never stopped until this morning around 4 AM. We listened to the rain pounding throughout the night. This morning Lisa dropped off JT, Cenny and Zeke so she, Gunnar and Qatar could help a family that had their basement flooded. Then the calls came for help sandbaging through out the city. Since I have been sick for more than a week and getting very little sleep I stayed with the kids and Eileen and Paige went to help sandbag. We even got water in our basement but just enough to soak the bottom of the boxes holding my stained glass. Not much work to clean up just the hassel of finding new boxes and handling the glass. The picture is Turtle Creek which normally flows quietly between the trees in the center of the picture approximately no wider than 10 to 15 feet. Click on the headline above for local news.
