Womanhood
“I wonder if you sisters fully understand the greatness of your gifts and talents and how all of you can achieve the “highest place of honor” in the Church and in the world. One of your unique, precious, and sublime gifts is your femininity, with its natural grace, goodness, and divinity. Femininity is not just lipstick, stylish hairdos, and trendy clothes. It is the divine adornment of humanity. It finds expression in your qualities of your capacity to love, your spirituality, delicacy, radiance, sensitivity, creativity, charm, graciousness, gentleness, dignity, and quiet strength. It is manifest differently in each girl or woman, but each of you possesses it.

Does this mean you have more time to play in the soil? We can be crazy together
YEp - DIGGING ME SOME DIRT! We will be going back to one income and too many bills but we will do what we need to to get this house ready to sell in the Spring and then get a small cabin put up on our ten acres. Then I’ll REALLY be able to dig!
