Another successful football day.  Both boys teams won.  Peytens team is undefeated and Austens team has only lost one game.  Only one more week of play until playoffs begin.

Make sure your vote counts

I went to the polls today to vote. I felt proud to be an American as I stood in line, in the comfortable air conditioned room full of happy senior citizens waiting my turn to vote. The process was quick, the job done and at the end I got a sticker saying, "my vote counted". As I was driving home I started to think about all the people throughout time who have made this wonderful freedom that we have possible. I know that the political system is far from perfect, but we as citizens have the power to make our voices heard and we are able to turn any outcome around according to how we exercise our rights.. Our senators, reps, and others will listen to us as long as we all take a stand and fight for what is right. Whoever the next president may be, let him be a God-fearing man who will fight for our rights as a nation and keep us safe and our freedoms in tact. If he does not, let us learn from this and not let it ever happen again. America is beautiful and a choice land where God has let his true gospel flourish and we know that no man can ever take that from any of us, lets build up our country and make it better for our children and their children. Get out there and vote, we can't afford to ever lose that freedom!!!!

C Jane and Nie Nie

If anyone of you would like to read a very uplifting and enjoyable blog I would recommend clinking on to my "CJane" link under favorite blogs.  This is a girl that lives in Utah who is a sister of the famous Stephanie Nielson, (in the blogger world).  Stephanie Nielson and her husband were in a terrible private plane crash in August, where they are still in the hospital recovering and have four precious children.  CJane tells you a little bit about how the family is doing but most importantly it gives a link to Nie Nie's blog which is amazing.  Her blogs are truly beautiful, funny, creative and helps you realize the important things in life.  Her posts are famous around the world due to how fun they are and her sister is trying to keep her blog alive by reposting some of her readers more favorite ones.  It will indeed warm your heart to read them, and hopefully with everyones prayers and help those sweet children can be with their most special mom and dad again.  My heart goes out to them, but they have in return given me a greater appreciation of my own sweet children and wonderful husband.  I am going to forever try to make everyday count for something.  God bless their family and all those who are helping them.
