Intermission

(More CA tomorrow)

Today...
The witness of the Holy Ghost,
As borne by those who know,
Has lifted me again to thee,
O Father of my soul.
I know that thou art in the heav'n.
I know the Savior reigns.
I know a prophet speaks to us
For our eternal gain.

My eyes are wet;
my heart is full.

The Spirit speaks today.

O Lord, wilt thou my life renew

And in my bosom stay.
As testimony fills my heart,

It dulls the pain of days.

For one brief moments, heaven's view

Appears before my gaze.

Loren Dunn penned the words. But today (and often) they feel like my own.

Happy Sunday, Friends.

I do wish that we lived a stones throw from the temple (of course we all do but not that we can actually walk to all the time if we wanted to). I told Jared that I would like to take the kids to the temples, that are drivable in a few hours time, on Sundays and just walk around the grounds and enjoy the beauty there. Happy Sunday to you too!

One of my most favorite hymns, because as you said, the words feel like my very own. My testimony was of the temple yesterday. And much of that testimony was developed in the Provo temple.
