Thoughts About Life

This has been a day to prepare and to work on various assignments....and to clean and IRON.  Those white shirts stack up.  I listened to a few BYU Women's Conference talks....one was by Bruce and Marie Hafen.  It was very inspiring....but then they all are.

We heard of an accident in Gilbert.  A young police officer on a motorcycle collided with a car in an intersection not far from our home and died.  He was married with four children, living in Erin and Ethan's ward.  I am sure the entire ward and neighborhood is reeling.  My heart aches for his young wife and children.

When something like this happens it shocks us. It shouldn't happen this way.

Life is fragile and can be taken without warning.

But there is purpose and meaning to life, and peace and comfort available to us.  I know that during these very difficult times the Spirit can be felt more immediately than other times. It is literally a balm to the soul.

Many heartfelt prayers will be offered for that little family and ours will be as well.
