I Feel like I'm pigging but remember my challenge?

So I was wondering if the emails from bryce that mckay set up to be automatically forwarded are including my letters to Bryce. I wanted to share my "aha" moment of seeing God's hand in my life. So if this is repetitious, then will someone let me know that you already saw the email I sent to Bryce. I had a good experience at the temple this week. I tried to relate it in my temple prep class but they didn't seem to get it. I will try you. I was doing initiatory ordinances with names my mom has gotten and was reflecting on the names thatI had been baptized for. I felt a connection to them and thought how much I appreciated them and what they did in their lives so I could be where I was. I thought about how critical I have been sometimes about my parents and how they really were just like the people I was doing work for and that I needed to focus on what they did right/well. The Savior focuses on our potential not our mistakes. So I was grateful to be reminded how blessed I was and that I hoped my children wouldn't focus on the things I have done wrong but on the things I have done right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. well it did have a big impact on me. I love being in the temple. Your dad and I looked out the window at 5:30 and saw how shiny the roads were and that it was very foggy and we decided instead of running we would read our scriptures. We are reading the Pearl of Great Price. I had a thought come to me probably because I had been listening to a tape about pondering and the importance of it. The thought was that Abraham had a lot of time to ponder when he was building an altar. I bet they took a while. Maybe that is a pattern for us when we pray...build an altar. So there is my profundity for the week, maybe. It's not over yet. I love the picture of Sharon and her cute jacket...it is on my screen saver only it is little. How do I make it bigger? Love you all. The noise in the background of the video is McKay and Dallin rubbing their fingers around their glass. This was a game where we all recited How Do I love Thee in a different mood while everyone guessed what it was. I want to send Grandma Fife's because it is a classic but I need to figure it out. The end.
