Amy's Diary

By -
No, I am not about to share what Amy wrote in her diary when we were growing up. I'm going to share what I wrote in her diary. 😊


During our last trip in California, Amy gave me her old diary. I don't remember if she gave it to me or if I took it, but that doesn't matter anymore.


It is really funny. I wrote in it 5 times and mostly about how much I miss Andy because he's on his mission. I'm glad that I wrote these little things down, even when it was complaining that my mom got a nutcracker for Amy and not for me. I also like that I was bragging about my "inproved writeing". Don't worry 9 year-old BJ, spellcheck is an integrated part of life in the 21st century.

More Than We Ever Imagined

If you are on Pintrest especially in early April and October, there are countless quotes from General Conference . One that stood out to me was by Sister Neill F. Marriot. I love this quote, but I felt like the background was lacking. It's rather placid and I just don't think it fits. So, I started thinking about what would fit better. My thoughts ended up on the old Provo Tabernacle.  source I don't really remember it from the various visits to Utah growing up, but I remember five years ago when it caught on fire. Before the fire, it was a useful building. It was used for community events as well as for Stake Conferences. It was shocking when it burned. source For about a year, no one was sure what would come of the shell of the building. Then it was announced that it would be transformed into a temple. There are times when our lives burn into ashes and all that is left is a shell of the vision we had of the future. It takes time, but our...
