One of the many things I've enjoyed recently is Kevin's relationship with his new stepson, Phoenix. In some ways it reminds me of my dad and how he used to, among many other things, take me fishing but more importantly just spend time with me. I don't want to get into any of the negativity that comes with broken marriage but Phoenix has a new stepdad who clearly cares for him and that's only good. And good for Kevin as well.

Cathy and I both served in the Bishops Storehouse yesterday and enjoyed being together with our friends there.

Come Follow Me 

Moses 1: 33 And worlds without number have I created; and I also created them for mine own purpose; and by the Son I created them, which is mine Only Begotten.

"A few weeks ago, on a cold, dark winter’s night, my wife, Barbara, and I looked in awe up at the sky. The millions of stars seemed exceptionally bright and beautiful. I then turned to the Pearl of Great Price and read again with wonder what the Lord God said to Moses: “And worlds without number have I created; and I also created them for mine own purpose; and by the Son I created them, which is mine Only Begotten.”  

In our day the Hubble deep-space telescope has confirmed the magnitude of what Moses saw. Hubble scientists say the Milky Way galaxy, of which our earth and sun are just a tiny part, is estimated to be only one of over 200 billion similar galaxies. For me it is difficult to comprehend, impossible to fathom, so large and so vast are God’s creations."

Elder M. Russell Ballard, Apostle
