We went to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point yesterday as guests of Jake and Meredith as a celebration of Mothers Day which, of course, is this coming Sunday. The first photo is of Mt. Timpanogos as seen from Thanksgiving Point. It was a beautiful day.

Tulips and other blossoms were everywhere. And they have a whole new section concentrating on Book of Mormon related scenes culminating in a "Tree of Life". It is well worth visiting.

Come Follow Me 

D&C 45: 32 But my disciples shall stand in holy places, and shall not be moved; but among the wicked, men shall lift up their voices and curse God and die.

“What are the ‘holy places’ Heavenly Father is referring to?” President Ezra Taft Benson counseled, “Holy places include our temples, our chapels, our homes, and the stakes of Zion, which are … ‘for a defense, and for a refuge.’”...[H]oly places can also include moments in time—moments when the Holy Ghost testifies to us, moments when we feel Heavenly Father’s love, or moments when we receive an answer to our prayers. Even more, I believe any time you have the courage to stand for what is right, especially in situations where no one else is willing to do so, you are creating a holy place."
