Fly Away: July 4th

July 4th

I flew in this morning and Paul picked me up and then we met up with Nikki and her family and went to Rahing waters. It was a really hot day so the water felt great.

Later on that night we met up with Holli and Dave for dinner and then headed over to West Jordan Park to watch the fireworks. They were pretty amazing and long. Poor Porter only made it through half of them before he nodded off. He spent the night at our house and then the next day I babysat the two kids.

Quote by Edward Everrett Hale...

"I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do."

We can't take care of the whole earth but we can take care of each other. Service to others is what I want to really do this year. If I can make a small deverence then I can feel good about that.

Jesus Christ said, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13)

This doesn't mean we have to die to show love for our friends. We lay down our lives everytime we put someone else's needs before our own.

"Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he has been robbed. The fact is that most putts don’t drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to be just like people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, and most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride."by Gordon B. Hinkley
