♫♪♫ If I Could Hie to Kolob ♫♪♫
1.
1. If you could hie to Kolob
In
the twinkling of an eye,
And then continue onward
With that same speed to fly,
Do you think that you could ever,
Through all eternity,
Find out the generation
Where Gods began to be?
2.
2. Or see the grand beginning,
Where space did not extend?
Or view the last creation,
Where Gods and matter end?
Methinks the Spirit whispers,
“No man has found ‘pure space,’
Nor seen the outside curtains,
Where nothing has a place.”
3.
3. The works of God continue,
And
worlds and lives abound;
Improvement and progression
Have one eternal round.
There is no end to matter;
There is no end to space;
There is no end to spirit;
There is no end to race.
4.
4. There is no end to virtue;
There is no end to might;
There is no end to wisdom;
There is no end to light.
There is no end to union;
There is no end to youth;
There is no end to priesthood;
There is no end to truth.
5.
5. There is no end to glory;
There
is no end to love;
There is no end to being;
There is no death above.
There is no end to glory;
There is no end to love;
There is no end to being;
There is no death above.

homemade noodles.
Tonight we* watched the
second in the Triology of
Jurassic World

to the three Jurassic Park movies.*Well, actually Walt wasn't really
interested and he went to bed
before it really got very far along.
JURASSIC WORLD - FALLEN KINGDOM
- Chris Pratt as Owen Grady: A Navy veteran and ethologist, and former Velociraptor handler for Jurassic World.
- Bryce Dallas Howard* as Claire Dearing: Jurassic World's former operations manager, now a dinosaur-rights activist, who has founded the Dinosaur Protection Group to save Isla Nublar's surviving dinosaurs."
- *Wish I had known she is Ron Howard's daughter when
- I was watching this movie.
We're all a little interested
in dinosaurs, aren't we?

I don't really like science fiction

see how they think dinosaurs
would be today.

Holy Week...
Remembering that Jesus Christ
road into Jerusalem on
a donkey, which was
a symbol for what
a King rides on.
As we read tonight in the
Come, Follow Me
manual for this
Holy Week...
"...Amid all these celebrations
[of Passover] so rich with
the symbolism of deliverance,
relatively few [of the Jews]
were aware that
Jesus Christ,
the Lamb of God,
was about to deliver
them from the
slavery of sin and death--
through His suffering,
His death, and
His resurrection."

we pray you have had a
restful , peaceful, and spiritual
