Oh, my, what a crazy Sunday. I thought this day was supposed to be a day of rest. Well, it usually is filled with church, then lunch, a movie, followed by a nap, dinner, and being with the family. Today, I just wasn't feeling it.
I woke up in a fine mood. The air was chilled, the house was cleaned, and my stuff for primary was set to go. So, why was I feeling blah? I need a new Sunday wardrobe. I can only rotate so many blouses with so many skirts, and I need some new Sunday shoes. But, I found something to wear, decked my kids out, and off we went. Lucy was horrid. Oh my goodness. She would not sit still, she screamed, fell, and bit her cheek, got blood on Nick's white shirt, and screamed so loud, everyone was staring. Not really, but in times like that you just feel like everyone is watching.
I made the conscious decision to leave after the first hour. Fortunately, Marianne Opdahl said she would take care of music for me, so home for a nap, is where we went. Or, so I thought. That chick slept for 20 minutes, that was it. So, for two hours, I got to entertain her at home. I thought about going back to church, but I had already changed, and my jeans and long sleeved tee, just felt so comfy. I know, August, and I was sporting jeans and a long sleeved tee.
The rest of the afternoon was filled with movie time and snuggling with the love of my life. If Bosston hadn't had an accident in his pants, Nick and I would've snuggled the rest of the day. We had a simple dinner, followed by a treat (trick or treat candy) and just lazed the day away.
So, back to the title. I just checked a facebook post from Deseret News, on a Bishop in California who was shot and killed today. Why? No one knows the motive, but why would someone do that. How could someone hate a person so badly that they would seek their life. Eye for an eye at this time, and he was shot and killed by police not too much longer after he did this. I pray for the whole party involved. I pray for the family, who just lost their father, husband and friend. I pray for the ward, who just lost their Bishop, I pray for the man who did this, that he will be judged for his wrong doing. I pray for those who are lost, broken, crying, and afraid. I pray for those who are in mourning, for those who are rejoicing. I pray for my own family, as they are tucked away in bed, dreaming good dreams, and preparing for a new day. I pray for my husband, that he may find comfort, and strength in his calling as a father and husband. I pray for his job, that no misfortune may come to his company. I pray for myself, that I might find happiness in the small things. That I might laugh the laundry away, and love my children endlessly. I pray for you, my friends, and my readers. I pray that our friendship will only grow stronger, and that I can be an example to you, and that I can find a way to serve you. I count my blessings, the big, and the small. I am grateful for today. I am grateful for my Father in Heaven, my family here on earth, and for you. \
Happy Reading.

Oh my, sounds like Lucy was having a rough day! :( That's always tough when little ones act like that! I definitely would've gone home, too! I did hear about that shooting in CA. Isn't that just awful? it's so sad, heartbreaking, and also maddening to know that someone would do that. I was reading some comments from that story on Foxnews.com, and some are saying it's because of Prop. 8. Isn't that terrible? I read that apparently a couple of churches were "torched" earlier in the week, due to the Church's views on Prop. 8. Whether you agree or disagree, it gives you no right to do that. It's awful. People can be just awful, and I do hope they pay for what they've done.
Hey Heidi.. thanks for posting this. This bishop (Clay Sannar) is actually from Gridley where my family is. His parents are still in my brother Justin's ward. He and his family are amazing people. It's so sad..I too am counting my blessings and am so grateful for the gospel to know that families are forever!
