DONUTS ARE FOR SUCKERS!

What happens when you go to help plant flowers at Temple Square and you're told there will be donuts at the church?....you get tricked into cleaning the church too! Funny how that works :-)

Helping plant flowers at Temple Square was actually fun! There were a lot of people helping out and that made the job much easier and more fun, especially at the end when literally everyone came together to help prepared the soil for more planting. It was quite a sight to behold.

The donuts were yummy too!

Constructive Criticism

So in 2 weeks the single's ward will be going to Heber Valley again for another overnighter...hopefuly this time there will be no snow.

To help promote this anual event I got together again with my friend Photoshop and brainstormed for a brief moment and came up with another creation.

What do you guys think? I need some C&C (not Callous and Corns!). Not to be boastful, but note the reflection in the eye. Thank heavens for photoshop and over-the-internet tutorials!

I've since made some minor adjustments to the poster, which can be seen on the poster located on the right side of your screen...better? worse?

Life Under The Sun

So today at work....actually for sometime now, I have been pondering as to how fleeting life is. This sounds depressing, and it probably is depressing, but that is what is on my mind...

I first had this thought when I was in Fountain Valley last summer: I left work on a Friday afternoon  and went to help Fe and Ruth move from Orem to Fountain Valley. We loaded the truck and cars and drove all day to get to Nevada where we spent the night, and the next day we drove some more until we arrived in southern Cali. Once at our location, we spend the rest of the evening unloading. At one point we got news that Bernie Mac had passed away...the sun was setting and there was a cool breeze in the air when I had the thought: he was only 50-years-old and (to me) he was so young and (again, to me) he passed away so suddenly! I quickly imagined all that he accomplished, and suddenly he's gone. How will he be remembered? How will I be remembered?

This weekend the thought came to me again when I went to ice skating with the singles ward. The 7 of us were having a good time until my friend and co-chair in the activities committee fell and hit her head pretty hard on the ice. She seemed fine when we got her off the ice, but as time went on she remembered less and less what happened. Long story short, she had a CAT scan that showed a concussion. One minute we were having fun and the next my friend has memory loss. She is fine now, but it was interesting how quickly things changed.

Last but not least, there is an elderly woman who every two months gets her toenails trimmed by Dr. Green. She is blind and her elderly husband always brought her and lovingly guided her to and from the car and the chair. Then this week when this patient came she had her daughter guiding her, which I thought was odd. As I showed them to the exam room I inquired how the husband was doing and the reply was that he had passed away from BRAIN CANCER!

What's the lesson to be learned here? 1)We are here on Earth for a purpose and there is little to no control over how much time we have. 2)We have to use this time to grow and learn all we need in order to be ready to return home.

On a lighter note, the new Star Trek movie is awesome!

BEHAVE!

I highly dislike unruly children! I don't mean crying babies or restless toddlers... I mean rude, disrespectful children who don't listen to to their parents.

Today at the clinic there was a group of children who came with their brother and when they left I was seriously surprised we still had an office standing. The dad tried but could not control his children. Growing up this type of behavior would never be accepted and I wish parents today would do more than just say "stop" over and over. There is nothing wrong with a little spanking at home and by spanking I don't mean "A Child Called It" if you know what I mean...

Me, Myself, and Photoshop

In case you loyal readers didn't attend the sacrament meeting where I gave a talk last year, I am the co-chair of the activites committe for the Centerville 18th ward and for this month have a blind date night planned. To help spread the word I have come up with a poster to hang at the institute and at church...thank heavens for photoshop!

The image on the left is the final prototype, which I happen to like better.
