   Thanks, guys.
"This month, we commemorate the historic trek of the Mormon pioneers who, 130 years ago, left the beautiful city of Nauvoo, Illinois, and their comfortable homes to escape their persecutors and march 2300 kms. across a hostile wilderness in order to worship their God according to the dictates of their own conscience. In July of 1847, they reached the Great Salt Lake Valley and founded the city which is now the headquarters of Christ's church on earth.
"It is not enough merely to observe these various anniversaries, but we must recommit and rededicate ourselves to uphold the convictions and the principles upon which the blessings we enjoy are predicated. We, too, must be prepared to sacrifice, where necessary, to keep our freedoms inviolate. My father used to say: 'The true way to honor the past is to improve upon it.'
"Therefore, we should love God more. We should serve our fellowmen better. We should keep all the commandments. We should be better prepared as parents to teach our children to pray and to walk uprightly before the Lord, and to assume their responsibilities.
"We should be constantly striving for improvement of ourselves and our surroundings."

~ N. Eldon Tanner, "Pioneers Are Still Needed," Tambuli, July 1977, 1

John 3:16-17
It is true.

I just thought of something. Sherlock Holmes states that there is hope to be had from the flowers, like the rose--something added and extra to life. Such a something could only come from a good God. I think the same is true, and maybe more obviously, of bird songs. Many bird songs are to tell other birds, "This is my place." But the songs are beautiful to listen to. They are not harsh or aggressive, at least not to us. Why need they be so lovely?

Because they are the creations of a good and just God. That beauty is extra.

I wanted to thank my friends for supporting me on MyO. And especially Refi-chan and LadyLenaJade. Thanks also to DarkLynx9701 and demario for visiting yesterday. (By the way, DarkLynx, Dach is one of the new guys.)

Fact of the Day
Birds have multiple sounds, actually.

"Songs[...]are the most distinctive vocalizations of most species, since birds sing to establish territories and to create and maintain pair bonds.
"Calls are generally shorter and simpler[...]and each species has a variety of different calls used for different communication purposes."

(Thanks to my Mom and to The Sinbley Guide to Birds from the National Audubon Society, (c) 2000, pp 13-14, for this fact.)
