Christmas Stockings

The time has come to say goodbye to some old friends. My Mother made these for our family 22 years ago. They have been used and loved (note that all of the kids stockings are torn at the top from repeated attempts to put them on like a sock) for many years. Now our children have other stockings that they use and these are being retired. Elise wasn't born at the time these were made so she always had a substitute stocking. What great memories! Thanks Mom/Grandma.

Another Cool Quote

"The season of the world before us will be like no other in the history of mankind. Just as this is the dispensation of the fullness of times, so it is also the dispensation of the fullness of evil. There is no safety in the world: wealth cannot provide it, enforcement agencies cannot assure it, membership in this church alone cannot bring it. We must come to the temple for light and safety. There are hosts of unseen sentinels watching over and guarding our temples. There will come a period of time when even the elect will lose hope if they do not come to the temples. They will long to bring their children here for safety's sake. The covenants and ordinances will fill us with faith as a living fire. In a day of desolating sickness, scorched earth, barren wastes, sickening plagues, disease, destruction, and death: we as a people will rest in the shade of trees, we will drink from the cooling fountain. We will abide in places of refuge from the storm, we will mount up as on eagle's wings."
