I don't usually talk religion on my blog, I'm not against it, but usually it's not when I'm writing about, but today is different. I was reading in the Book of Mormon 3 Nephi Chapter 13:

Is not the life more than meat, and the body than draiment?


The Savior is asking an interesting question. Do we value our bodies and ourselves more than we value clothing?

My grandpa recently said when you dress with disrespect for your body you give others permission to disrespect you. I don't know about giving other's permission, but I'm sure you've seen women in bad relationships with men that don't respect them or treat them well. Oftentimes those women dress and act with little self-respect. It's sadly common site in high school to see scantily clad girls being harassed by lustful boys and men.

Jesus also said to anoint your head and wash your face when you fast, that we not "appear to fast" or try to get attention or worldly praise from our sacrifice.

A virtuous woman dresses with respect and cleanliness not only by following appropriate guidelines for dress but also by loving her body, recognizing the gift and sanctity of life.

Until the next blog entry I remain yours,

If there are any patchy spots. Turn the granola one more time and bake for 5 minutes.  Let it cool and crispify on the baking sheet. Enjoy. Or...

A Pregnant Post by Paige about Pregnancy

Here's the belly progression: 6 Months 8.5 Months Warning! This post may contain personal musings about pregnancy. It may read like a journal. It may contain baby excitement and overall feelings of joy. So I have been stepping on things lately. Mostly toys. How is this possible, you ask? Those of you familiar with my adroit walking skills may be puzzled at this point. I know I was until I took a shower this morning. And I couldn't see my feet at all; not a hint of them, no toes, nothing, not even when leaning forward could I see anything but a belly button sun on the horizon of a large earth belly. And that is why I've been stepping on things. Thomas' toy hammer, a plastic giraffe, the zipper of John's coat . . . The loss of my peripheral vision going down is apparently complete. I can't see where I am stepping! What a frightening feeling. I have also been walking into common household objects with my belly. Doorknobs and chairs. Major medial disco...

Myrtle Beach

Recently we moved to Myrtle Beach, SC.  It has been quite the adventure so far, including moving across the country by car and being out of our home for 9 days before receiving our new house keys.  We have been to the urgent care a couple times and the hospital getting a finger glued back together and a forehead stitched up.  We drove between storms of snow and tornadoes, safely arriving in what we Wilsons consider summer weather, but we have been told to wait until July for the real humidity and heat. Our charming house is twenty years old and very cute.  It has kitchen dining and living rooms downstairs and bedrooms up. It was getting a little awkward when we purchased our electric lawn mower online and then waited several days for it to show up. We have made new friends with our culdesac neighbors, church members, and cub scouts. One of our favorite things is our neighborhood pool at the end of our street, six houses down.  We are really happy that Spen...
