We testify that...
Heavenly Father knows us and loves us, as does our Heavenly Mother. We are created in Their image. They want us to find joy in this life, follow Them, and return to Them.
Jesus Christ was sent to become our Redeemer and Savior
and He also knows us by name and loves us. He is our Advocate with the Father.
May we always love Them, believe Them, and follow Them, so that we may be able to live with Them forever.
In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Dad/Grampa's choice for the

Gandhi: An Autobiography -
The Story of My Experiments With Truth
by Mohandas
Karamchand (Mahatma) Gandhi
LISTENING IS THE NEW READING
Author: Mohandas K. (Mahatma) Gandhi
Narrator: Bill WallacePublisher: Blackstone Audio
Format: Unabridged AudiobookDelivery:

Length: 18.75 hoursRelease
Date: April 2010
ISBN: 9781455198023
Paperback – November 1, 1993
“My purpose," Mahatma
Gandhi writes of this book, "is to describe experiments in the science
of Satyagraha, not to say how good I am." Satyagraha, Gandhi's
nonviolent protest movement (satya = true, agraha =
firmness), came to stand, like its creator, as a moral principle and a rallying
cry; the principle was truth and the cry freedom. The life of Gandhi has given
fire and fiber to freedom fighters and to the untouchables of the world:
hagiographers and patriots have capitalized on Mahatma myths.
Yet Gandhi writes: "Often the title [Mahatma, Great Soul] has
deeply pained me. . . . But I should certainly like to narrate my experiments
in the spiritual field which are known only to myself, and from which I have
derived such power as I possess for working in the political field."
Clearly, Gandhi never renounced the world; he was neither pacifist nor cult guru. Who was Gandhi? In the midst of resurging interest in the man who freed India, inspired the American Civil Rights Movement, and is revered, respected, and misunderstood all over the world, the time is proper to listen to Gandhi himself — in his own words, his own "confessions," his autobiography.

Order roughly 1.25 pounds of turkey per guest—so, for example, a
12- to 13-pound bird to feed a party of 9—so everyone can get their fill and
have some leftovers, too. If you want lots of leftovers, order 1.5 pounds per
guest.
What Temperature to Cook a Turkey
Set your oven to 325°F to cook your bird evenly. The total cook
time will depend on the size of your turkey, so let a meat thermometer be the
ultimate judge. Your turkey is cooked when the breast meat reaches 170°F and
the thighs reaches 180°F.
After it's done, allow the bird to rest for at 20 least minutes
before carving. This is the perfect time to use the o
