I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Service Project

Saturday morning we all woke up and headed down to Salt Lake to 'This is the place' monument park. We had a service project planned and when we got there we found out that we were going to sand down the stairs on the pine valley church replica so that they could repaint it.

That old building would make the perfect place for pictures! I love the worn out wood and the stairs. How fun! ~Cindy
