The whole idea of "entering into His rest" yawn, sounds pretty enticing (who am I kidding, I want my hair back lol).<BR/><BR/>But I'm still a big proponent of the putting one foot in front of the other endeavor, until the end, whenever that is. And I'm convinced that it will be a much more pleasant adventure if I do it with a smile.<BR/><BR/>I did have to hold my side when I read the "nuclear" comment, touche'!Happy The Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16367489409709616382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3827624339152855219.post-72225472820341200512008-10-08T13:41:00.000-07:002008-10-08T13:41:00.000-07:00Good to hear from you Camille !

But guess what--I've come to LOVE that song! No, really. Ever since last spring, when my beginners decided that "sunshine" sounds like a Chinese word, so they went around saying it in the most horrible, politically incorrect Chinese accents ever. I couldn't condone it in my classroom, but secretly, I thought it was pretty hilarious. And now I can't help adding the accent to all the sunshine hymns, and end up laughing so hard that I can't make it through all the verses. (Kristen and I are still just as bad, possibly worse, than when we were MiaMaids... Do you remember when Sister Heninger called us "chatter mouses"? We still think it's cute and wear the title proudly!)Kristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06868874343026873104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3827624339152855219.post-45697331709792571922008-10-07T14:07:00.000-07:002008-10-07T14:07:00.000-07:00I'm not smart with words....so all I can say is I'...I'm not smart with words....so all I can say is I'll be proud to say I lived in the time of President Hinkley, Monson and during the time when we had the fullness....president or no president, United States, or Iraq....what better leadership than that of what we have in the church today!The Duckworth Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17406187537563849687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3827624339152855219.post-40451694972321803892008-10-07T01:49:00.000-07:002008-10-07T01:49:00.000-07:00Amen to that, Heather!

I'm never going to have to repay my BYU grant. I'm never going to turn 30. My hair will never turn gray. I'm never going to need reading glasses. I don't have to care what happens to my 403b. No worries! Hakuna Matata!<BR/><BR/>I probably will be a little doomy and gloomy if I wake up in January 2013 and the world is still spinning, and we just wrapped up 12 straight years with government leaders who can't pronounce "nuclear" and make better SNL skits than anything else. But until then, I'm good. :)Kristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06868874343026873104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3827624339152855219.post-78976050803267729262008-10-06T14:03:00.000-07:002008-10-06T14:03:00.000-07:00I guess my response to any criticism of this count...I guess my response to any criticism of this country would be to ask what it was like to die of dysentery, malnutrition, intestinal worms, or female circumcision.<BR/><BR/>Sounds like you boarded the Doom and Gloom Express, Kristine.

During the last election when people were frustrated with the hubub created by the close election, a political analyst pointed out that a close election was a goood thing. People who don't like close elections should go to Cuba.<BR/><BR/>I agree with you on the resilient hitory. We survived the Savings & Loan (S&L not SNL) meltdown. We survived the energy crisis of the early 70s. We survived the cold war. We survived acid rain. So, we should feel confident that we'll get through toxic loans, $4 gasoline, Al Qaida, and global warming.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04796817138360067491noreply@blogger.com
