Updates of Home Life (With Pictures!)

So, our garden has been growing, our fish are swimming around, and we have been doing fun stuff too. here's some photos of our place!

Tulips (mixed with some dandelions)! They're about to bloom now! I think they're Red.

Our Car.

Veggies that we will transplant.

Our Fishies!

Our Flower Plants that we will plant in our flower garden.

Half of our garden. See all the pea plants?! :)

Our home! It's only half of the building because that's the half we live in. It's a duplex.

Pictures of California and Disneyland to come!

A Celebration of Freedom

FINALS ARE DONE! FINALS ARE DONE! NO MORE SCHOOL FOR 4 MONTHS AND VACATIONS GALORE! YAY!

*Ahem*

Anyway, now that the semester is over and the weather is warming up Myles and I are planning a vacation to California! This vacation will consist of a stay in a resort with my family, the beach, and DISNEYLAND! I am going with Mom, Dad, Bonnie, Fiona, Nathan, Kaisa, Everett, and of course myself and my husband. I am so excited! We leave at 6am tomorrow morning and check into our hotel at 4pm. The place has several hot tubs, and indoor pool, and tons of cool stuff! I'm definitely excited.

We also heard about this awesome place called Santa Monica Pier that I'm excited to check out! It's a beach, an amusement park, and an arcade all in one! I can't wait to see it! As for Disneyland, we may get a park-hopper pass and check out California Adventure which I've never been to! Can you tell I'm pumped?! :)

Another Obama Nightmare

Those of you who liked the last one might like this one.
In my dream, I was living in a big house with President Obama. I don't remember many of the details, but I remember being afraid to do most anything because I was afraid of Obama. It reminded me a lot of the book 1984.


I'm going to have to do something about all of these Obama nightmares.

Conception is to Marriage as the Sky is to the 3 Kingdoms of Heaven

Does that title slightly confuse you and draw you in to read my blog?

Good.

And here's an added plus: It's relevant!

So I'll start by explaining how the sky relates to the 3 degrees of glory.

If you're a Mormon and you've ever gone to Sunday school, you already know.

Heaven=3 kingdoms; Telestial, Terrestrial, and Celestial.

Telestial is the lesser.

Terrestial is next best.

Celestial is the bestest.

Well, the scriptures relate their glory to stars, moon, and sun. Hence: the sky.

Telestial=Stars.

Terrestrial=Moon.

Celestial=Sun.

(see 1 Corinthians 15:40-41)

So, have you figured out how conception is to marriage?

I was writing a paper about abortion the other day,

(btw, I loathe abortion),

and I read a quote from a General Authority

(I can't remember who but I can look it up when I get home).

It spoke of how conception occurs when two cells join together to form one living organism which will grow to become a human being.

Do you see the relation?

When a marriage occurs, a man and a woman join together to from one living entity which has limitless potential.

If you think about it a little harder, there's all sorts of neat insights one can gain from this metaphor

(like how you need two different cells to make a human embryo, you can't smush two sperm or two ova together and make anything from it).

So, in conclusion, Conception is to Marriage as the Sky is to the 3 Kingdoms of Heaven because one is a type of the other.

" True types will have noticeable points of resemblance, show evidence of divine appointment, and be prophetic of future events."

I love these little insights I gain when studying. :)
