Day 2 - Logan and the Use of Glacier WATER

I think from now on...we need to proceed cautiously when allowing "grandchildren" to venture outside with Papa Garvin...I think Garvin needs "adult" supervision...

 It is only 50 some odd degrees outside...

and Garvin fills the SWIMMING POOL for Logan

to play in...with GLACIER WATER from our well...

ICE COLD "Glacier" water...

Yep...soaked!

Awesome...a HOSE!

My TURN!

Whoa! The hose is out of CONTROL!

Done...Soaked all my clothes...

Now...it is time to....

Mama Bekah helping Logan get out of

his wet clothes...Papa helping...

Ah....a nice WARM BATH!

Years ago...Hyrum was given this "Robot" that has 

entertained many over time...

However...Logan has a different view

of what he thinks about this "Robot"

Hmmm...Logan is not overly "thrilled" over his

new friend...

Yeah...I don't think they will be friends

anytime soon...

Rebekah and Logan's First Day Visit to MONTANA

Garvin and I LOVE IT...when our children come to VISIT us 

here in MONTANA! Especially, when they bring our

grandchildren with them...

Rebekah and Logan flew in, yesterday, from Utah...

Sadly, I got the times mixed up!

I thought I read that she was coming in at 2:00 p.m.

not before NOON...! So, she called us...

wondering where in the world were we!?

THANK GOODNESS...we don't live to far from the airport!

I am slowly...losing it...SENIOR - "duh" - MOMENTS!

The day BEFORE, Bekah arrived...Garvin has been SAVING (embezzling money somehow) and saved enough money to buy me a SUPER camera! 

I am so EXCITED...However, I have LOTS of reading to do

to get the best pictures...but, for now...I am using simply

the basics...

Here is our FIRST DAY together with Rebekah and son, Logan!

 It is 50 degrees outside...but Logan was too 

fascinated by the cows to notice...

And Sirloin and Pepper were fascinated by Logan

 Mama Bekah is watching closely...

Also, notice...her little pooch in the front...

Baby Jane Greenway...(smile)

Now, comes the traditional "tractor" ride!

 Notice...Logan is now...dressed to

"enjoy" the outdoors - "warmly"...

 Evidently, Logan thinks he is BIG ENOUGH

to drive it himself...

Logan is now...feeding a "potato" slice to "Sirloin"

Papa Garvin, Logan, and Bekah

I wanted to post this picture...cause you have a 

wonderful VIEW of the mountains we see

EVERYDAY! Isn't it BEAUTIFUL?

Buddy time...

Papa, Logan, and the "boys"...

L to R: Salt, Sirloin, and Pepper

I think between the one previous and this shot

is my favorite...

Papa Garvin and Logan pulling up  the grass

and fed it to "Pepper"...

The Kingdom of God, or Nothing!Will you pass the test?

Beau or Bow?

He's an active one - would hardly hold still for the camera. Thankfully he stopped long enough for the doctor to confirm we are having a manchild!

It's Official...

Sam has turned to the DARK SIDE

Sam and Rach are pretending to be Darth Vader despite other appearances

Easter Sunday - Part 1

Because my computer is down...and all my programs I

use to handle all my pictures...

I am on a slow boat to China...getting pictures

filed, etc.

I downloaded over 400 pictures from our MISSOURI trip

and our EASER weekend...

I have only a few pictures done...

so I will start with some of the FAMILY

pictures from this EASTER weekend...

Going to take me a long time, so please, be patient with me...

I am having to handle Relief Society, also...

and a number of other things...

We are now up to 60 degree weather...

and I can keep myself out of the garden...cleaning up old beds, etc.

LOVE LOVE SPRING!

But, here are a few pictures I have gotten done:

Declaration of Independence

SUPERB! The mind of a Conservative vs. Today's Liberal and Progressive - A REAL EDUCATION...Remember...one is about FORCE vs. FREEDOM - Know what "Equal Rights" mean...Won't get this EDUCATION in our Government schools...

Know Your Rights - Introduction to the Constitution

Tomorrow, I will be beginning my Constitution 101 Course with Hillsdale College...FREE for anyone who wishes to join in...I purchased  their READER...because I LOVE BOOKS...Having started to READ it...it is one of the very best I have seen...

Our RIGHTS that God has given us is being STRIPPED from us on a DAILY BASIS...Any support to those who...contribute to the desecration of our Constitution...or strips us of our God-given rights...is fighting AGAINST Father's kingdom...KNOW which side of the fence you will be PROTECTING...

Wanted you to have an EXAMPLE of what kind of material you would learn...so I am adding this 33 minute INTRODUCTION...

Our Doctrine and Covenants was very clear...on how the Lord felt about our Constitution and the men he PERSONALLY raised up...D&C 101: 77-80...

In 2004...President Boyd K. Packer made this statement:

I do not know when that day will come or how it will come to pass. I feel sure that when it does come to pass, among those who will step forward from among this people will be men who hold the Holy Priesthood and who carry as credentials a bachelor or doctor of law degree. And women, also, of honor. And there will be judges as well.

Others from the world outside the Church will come, as Colonel Thomas Kane did, and bring with them their knowledge of the law to protect this people.

We may one day stand alone, but we will not change or lower our standards or change our course.

 
 

TWO Sticks In Thine Hand

Joseph Smith, the Book of Mormon, and the Truth

We know that Nephi had the Law of Moses because the plates of brass contained the “five books of Moses” (1Ne. 5:11), among other important information (1Ne. 5:11 – 15).

We know that the Ten Commandments are contained in Exodus, one of the “five books of Moses” (Ex. 20:1 – 17).

Exodus 20:13 instructs us “Thou shalt not kill.” Period.

Nephi killed Laban after a struggle with the Spirit (1Ne. 4:18). We know we are to follow the Spirit’s promptings, and that “whatever God commands is right” (Joseph Smith, Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, pp. 256–7). However, this principle is not peculiar to Latter-day Saints (See Wikipedia: continuous revelation).

But, not many know that killing Laban is also in accordance with the Law of Moses!

1Ne. 4:11 informs us that the Spirit informed Nephi that, “the Lord hath delivered him into thy hands.”

According to the Law of Moses, “He that smitteth a man, so he die, shall be surely put to death” (Ex 21:12), unless, “And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver him into his hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee” (Ex 21:13). The “place whither he shall flee” were “cities of refuge” where a man could dwell for a time without facing the punishment of death while the family of the dead cooled down (see Bible Dictionary ‘Cities of Refuge’).

Nephi did not lie in wait as he “was led by the Spirit, not knowing beforehand the things [he] should do (1Ne. 4:6),” and “the Lord hath delivered [Laban] into thy hands” (1Ne. 4:11).

Thus, according to the Law of Moses, Nephi was justified in killing Laban.

This is just one more little known connection between the Bible and the Book of Mormon. Could Joseph Smith have known this? Possibly. If so he would have had to have been either a genius or a madman to have remembered so little of a technicality to insert into the Book of Mormon. Or, he was a prophet of the Living God through whom the Lord brought forth the Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ.

He is the latter.
