There are two things from last week I need to include:
1) I dropped my laptop (again), but somehow...the shoulder strap caught on my arm just millimeters before it hit the cement, and I knew there was one of those angels (that Elder Holland talked about in this month's conference)looking out for me.
2) Dad fell off the ladder last week -- while he was outside BY HIMSELF pruning the willow tree with a chainsaw! Luckily he didn't have the chainsaw when he fell, but he was on the very top of the ladder - with his feet at least 7 feet off the ground, when the ladder fell. He grabbed on to a branch of the tree -- but couldn't hold on, and then he fell too. How he wasn't seriously hurt is definitely a miracle -- much less that he wasn't even sore the next day!

"We should not underestimate or overlook the power of the Lord’s tender mercies." (David A. Bednar) "I will find a way to preserve that memory for the day that I, and those that I love, will need to remember how much God loves us and how much we need Him." (Henry B. Eyring)

Why we keep this blog:
Inspired by two LDS Conference Addresses
Elder Eyring
"Tonight, and tomorrow night, you might pray and ponder, asking the questions: Did God send a message that was just for me? Did I see His hand in my life or the lives of my children? I will do that. And then I will find a way to preserve that memory for the day that I, and those that I love, will need to remember how much God loves us and how much we need Him."
Elder Bednar
"We should not underestimate or overlook the power of the Lord’s tender mercies. The simpleness, the sweetness, and the constancy of the tender mercies of the Lord will do much to fortify and protect us in the troubled times in which we do now and will yet live. When words cannot provide the solace we need or express the joy we feel, when it is simply futile to attempt to explain that which is unexplainable, when logic and reason cannot yield adequate understanding about the injustices and inequities of life, when mortal experience and evaluation are insufficient to produce a desired outcome, and when it seems that perhaps we are so totally alone, truly we are blessed by the tender mercies of the Lord and made mighty even unto the power of deliverance (see 1 Ne. 1:20)."
