Don't you just love the crispness of a new frosty wintery morning? Wow, it invigorates me so much!
Go Mitt Romney!
Follow me through the pages of history, modern politics, religion and more.
"Men may fail in this country, earthquakes may come, seas may heave beyond their bounds, there may be great drought, disaster, and hardship, but this nation, founded on principles laid down by men whom God raised up, will never fail. This is the cradle of humanity, where life on this earth began in the Garden of Eden. This is the place of the new Jerusalem. This is the place that the Lord said is favored above all other nations in all the world. This is the place where the Savior will come to His temple. This is the favored land in all the world. Yes, I repeat, men may fail, but this nation won't fail. I have faith in America; you and I must have faith in America, if we understand the teachings of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are living in a day when we must pay heed to these challenges.
"I plead with you not to preach pessimism. Preach that this is the greatest country in all the world. This is the favored land. This is the land of our forefathers. It is the nation that will stand despite whatever trials or crises it may yet have to pass through. (Ye Are the Light of the World, Harold B. Lee, p350-51)

Hey Candace,
ReplyDeleteI noticed that you said go Mitt Romney at the end of your blog. Now before I start I am FOR Mitt. Do you really think that he has a chance? With all of the mud slinging and everything? I think it would be great to have an LDS president but, he has had s much crap thrown at him, and the media making look like he contradicts himself.
I did have to look up the word 'invigorate'. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI think the photot is just breathtaking!
Happy New Year to everyone!

Reginald - thanks for dropping by. And yes, I actually do think Mitt Romney has a chance, in fact, my gut says he's going to win the whole kit and kaboodle and will be the next president of the United States. Now my gut has been wrong before, but I hope not this time.
ReplyDeleteAs to the excessive and raging vitriol crossing the airwaves, internet, email boxes and snail mail boxes -- it's backfiring quite a bit. There are those who weren't interested in looking into the Church before who are now looking. The haters must be losing their minds if just one comes to gospel of Jesus Christ when it is the exact opposite they want.
Thanks Marja. Invigorating is a good word, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous picture . . . and I am a little surprised at the short blog. :) I tend to be chatty myself and sometimes post three blogs in a day. So what do I know?
ReplyDeleteThat is an amazing picturen Candace. Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteHere's wishing you, Alvin, and Mitt the best New Year ever!

referring to the 1st comment -
ReplyDeletefor me, Wanting Mitt for President has nothing to do with his religion. He is just, by far, the best choice. It would be a dream to have someone like him, no matter what the faith, in the White House.
No, not because of religion, think fellow Mormon, Harry Reid, I would not vote for him in a million years, though he is a member of my faith. In fact its safe to bet I'd campaign against him!
Go Mitt!!
That photos awesome. We haven't had much in 'nice' winter weather here in the Uk. Just rain, rain, wind and just for a change. Rain.
ReplyDeleteAnd a Happy New Year right back at you.
ReplyDeleteI'm going back through the visitors that I've had on my blog to invite them to a little give-away that I am having. No gmicks, just my way of celebrating one year of blogging. Please come over and sign up.

Concur about Mitt. Whenever he has shown how his views differ from other Republican candidates, he always prefaces those remarks with, "So and so is a good guy, but we disagree on certain political views and here's how..." His opponents just make personal attacks on his character. Eventually that will backfire on them.
ReplyDeletePeople that try to dig pits for others, frequently fall into them.
Pedaling - I agree with you 100%. Mitt's religion has nothing to do with why I'm voting. His stance on the issues, his moral fiber and his belief in God . . . that's why I'm voting for him. Not to mention he has been successful at everything he has tried and done an incredible job every time. I'd like to see him get his hands on our government and start cleaning house.
ReplyDeleteTristi - I'm a little surprised too. But Jarel is still here and I'm enjoying spending time with him. So that's probably a great deal of what's going on. Alvin and I are enjoying Jarel's visit with us.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Marsha. I hope your 2008 is incredible.
ReplyDeleteRick - thanks for dropping by and I'll check it out.
Dan and Wendy, good points.
Happy New Year! I wish many many blessings for you in 2008.
ReplyDeleteHugs!
Kat
I hope its a great year for you!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Candace. I hope 2008 is everything you and Alvin hope it to be!
ReplyDeleteDo you walk outside when it's frosty like that Candace? I went for a walk with my dog the other day when it was only 9 degrees. I didn't dress warmly enough so my walk got cut short but ... I loved the crispness of the morning, the stillness of the air. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY new Year! I LOVE that photo!
ReplyDeleteLots of unexpected political drama here! As for me, I'm just a Canadian bystander, but I'd like to see someone with a morally sound backbone in the Whitehouse - for a change. Happy New Year, Candice. I looked for your book in a local bookstore and couldn't find it. Perhaps it was just out of stock.
ReplyDeleteLove the photo! It looks so ethereal – like the dark branches are reaching out to try and snuff out the snow’s white brilliance. (I hope the snow wins for a few more days at least!) :)
go mitt!
ReplyDeletehope your day is awesome candace :)
