Sunday, November 27, 2016

As a school teacher, I get many pictures, art projects, notes, etc from my students. After the elections, one of my 5th grade students brought me one of these "home-made" projects. It was a bracelet with a heart on it. I thought it was just another "gift" from one of my students. However, she quickly let me know that she had made this to remind me and others that amid all the chaos and turmoil that was a result of the elections, we needed to remember to love and care about others. I was touched by her childlike solution to the troubles of the world. No wonder the Savior on many occasions admonished us to "become as a little child."

I feel blessed to live in this country that was carefully and purposefully organized by men wrought upon by the spirit of God. We can move past these elections, with love in our hearts as we unite in purpose.

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
So take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks...
(They Might Be Giants) 

Nov 13: Missing Istanbul tonight...



...And my dear family there!
