There is something reassuring about standing for something, and knowing what we stand for.
For men and women who are true to themselves and to the virtues and standards they have
personally adopted, it is not difficult to be true to others.
{ Gordon B. Hinckley, standing for something }



Now We're Really Regretting ...

... that we missed the Living Nativity at the Provo Tabernacle this year. We were counting on them holding a Sunday night performance like they used to, but when we pulled up, the scenery was already taken down, so no dice. I was disappointed that we didn't get to take Eliot to experience his first live nativity -- he would have loved the live animals, even if he would have had to brave the cold to see them. The Provo one was especially meaningful to us because Grant and I got to depict Joseph and Mary in 2005. Last week the Tabernacle was declared a total loss after this heartbreaking fire broke out in the middle of the night. Farewell to our beloved Tabernacle, that housed so many warm memories for us during our first married years. How I wish we had been able to attend the nativity one last time ... so sad.

My first thought was actually of you when I heard about the Tabernacle burning. I knew it held a special place for you, especially since you and Grant were able to participate in the nativity.

Wow, I didn't hear about this. Do they know what started the fire? So sad.
