Wrapping It All Up

I have a few things that have not been paid for (some of them might be my fault, some of you I have no contact info for). If you have not paid for or collected your items, please contact Katherine pynkhope@gmail.com or 390-7465 to work something out ASAP. I am more than happy to meet you somewhere if I need to. I'd really like to get everything taken care of so that I can take the money over to Katie on Sunday and allow this great cooperative effort to bless her life. Thank you.

P.S. After I have collected all the money, I will post and let all of you know the final total. Thank you again! God bless.

Way To Go!

Well, midnight has come and gone.  THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!  Right now we are at $2,814.75.  How great would it be to hit $3,000?  All that would take, is an extra $4 per person.  (Please don't feel pressured.  There is no obligation.)  What do ya think?  

I'll send out e-mails with your prizes won and totals due in the morning.  (You all probably now what's yours and how much it's going to cost you.)  Most of the items are at my home, 3506 Greenfield Dr just off of Ammon Rd between the Cellar restaurant and the LDS Ammon stake center.  I'm hoping that most people can come on Saturday between 10 am and 5 pm.  I know that won't work for everyone.  We can arrange another time.  You can pay me with cash, check or PayPal.  (Please make sure that your check won't bounce.)  

Thank you again for your outpouring of love and support for Katie Allen and her sweet boys.  Being involved with so many wonderful generous people has been a real blessing for me and a true testament of how good people real are.  May God bless you all.  Good night.

"What do you do?"

It's a loaded question for many women, especially Latter-day Saint women, who recognize the sacred calling of motherhood but sometimes feel overwhelmed — and undervalued — in their roles as mothers.

Author Jane Clayson Johnson has been asked that question on many occasions since trading in a prestigious and rewarding career in network news for the equally challenging career of motherhood. And, like most mothers, Jane has hesitated before answering the question.

In this personal — and honest — narrative, Jane recounts how she has since learned to welcome questions about her role and to respond, with enthusiasm, "I am a mother."

The Holy Secret Book


The Holy Secret book by James L. Ferrell.  Donated by Deseret Book.  Retail value: $23.95.  

Many today carry a secret: We do not love what we have been commanded to love. We do not love what is holy. Although we might reverence things that are deemed holy — the temple, for example, and the scriptures, and the Sabbath — we do not love them. Not really. Not with our whole souls.

The Holy Secret is the story of a man who learns how to love what matters. As he does, he learns another secret: Love for holiness transforms life itself. His realization of what he had been missing may lead you to some discoveries of your own!
