Traces of Time . . . April 8-14, 2024

Traces of Time . . . .

{Last week: Scroll to end and click "Older Posts" at bottom right.} "Time moves slowly, but passes quickly. The Color Purple” by Alice Walker, 1982

"The magical, supernatural force
that is with us every second is time.
We can't even comprehend it.
It's such an illusion,
it's such a strange thing."
— Anthony Hopkins
Note from Eileen: You will notice I call my blog: "Traces of Time..."
On this blog I share with family and friends my daily thoughts, doings, what interests me, and--at times--tributes to my eternal sweetheart, Walt, who graduated to heaven on 8-21-2020 at age 86.

Dedicated to our seven children--Janie, Gary, Steve, David, Julie, Brian, Jen, their spouses, our 39 grandchildren, 9 spouses married to our grandchildren, 6 great-grandchildren, 1 due in April and posterity to come.
So our posterity now numbers 66. Number 67 due in April.

This is also what I saw

here in Saratoga Springs

looking thru the lunar glasses

from my window...

This is what those in the

total eclipse path saw...

This was the path 7 years

ago when we gathered with

family in Rexburg at

Fisher's to see the

total eclipse.

My brackets that I had BYU as the champs didn’t even come in last place…sorry, Jen.
Good sports everyone.
Thanks, Brian, for putting this together.
I hope Grampa is getting to play some basketball in heaven.
It wouldn't be heaven for him if he didn't.

The blossoms have about
all blown away.

Bento box lunch special...
This is the teriyaki chicken

Everyone said they liked
their food.
Lunch Bunch
Sue, Mayra, Kathie
Mayra said she would come
any time we go for sushi.

Shauna, Tammy,
Brinley, Kathie
Andrew, Nadine,
Eileen, Linda H.
Nadine, thank you for
driving Linda and me.
It was a special day for Linda H
6 years ago today her
eternal sweetheart,
Bill Hartley,
graduated to heaven.
They were married in the
Oakland Temple in
September 1965.
They had 52 1/2 years
together on earth--and
will have
forever in the eternities.

For time and for all eternity.
Linda gave me permission to
put their wedding picture here.
Since it was a fall wedding
they had fall colors--
mostly yellow.
Yellow doesn't show up
well, so I'm using
a gold.
(Like my wedding photos
from 1961--we only got
black and white then.)

Family is Everything...
Today

Great quote...
“How much time before the Second Coming? Since the angels, otherwise well-informed individuals, do not know the day or the hour (how about the year?), certainly none of us does.
Even so, though we are deprived of precision, we can still observe the leaves on the fig tree and the prophesied signs of the times... In recent years we have witnessed world events which nearly all experts thought would take decades to evolve.
Moreover, the Lord has promised to hasten His work in its time. Additionally there is also Jesus' promise that 'for the elect's sake' the last days would be shortened. Apparently, severe conditions will take such a toll that this hastening and shortening will be necessary and merciful.
Do take time to smell the flowers, but occasionally check the leaves on the fig tree to see if summer is nigh!"

- Neal A. Maxwell, That Ye May Believe

Thank you, John, for
another delicious Roast

*I am so thankful for The Plan of Salvation and the Atonement of Jesus Christ that makes this Great Plan operational.**

At the end of this April 14th,
I pray you have had a
restful , peaceful, and spiritual
Sabbath Day...
I share these truths as my testimony to you...

Heavenly Father lives and knows us each by name. He loves us and wants us to return to Him and Heavenly Mother when we leave this mortal existence.
He loves us just
as we are at this very moment.
He knows what our potential is.
* * *
Jesus Christ came to earth as The Only Begotten of the Father and fulfilled the Atonement. He is the Redeemer of all.
* * *
I am thankful for the guidance of the Holy Ghost as the third member of the Godhead.
Walt said to me once: "I look forward to thanking the Holy Ghost in person when I get to Heaven. I don't think we give Him enough credit for all He does."

* * * * *
Joseph Smith was foreordained to be the Prophet of the Restoration. He is the Restorer of all things.
* * *
President Russell M. Nelson is the Living Prophet today for all the world.
* * *
The Bible is "the Word of God as far as it is translated correctly" and is a Testament of the Divinity of Jesus Christ.
* * *
The Book of Mormon is the Word of God and is Another Testament of Jesus Christ. It is the most correct book of any book on earth.
* * *
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the True Church on the earth today. Because of the restored Temple Ordinances families can be sealed for eternity.

* * *
Of these truths I testify in the Name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Info from Wikipedia: We all loved him!
"Walter Leland Cronkite Jr.** (November 4, 1916 – July 17, 2009) was an American broadcast journalist who served as anchorman for the CBS Evening News^[1] for 19 years, from 1962 to 1981. During the 1960s and 1970s, he was often cited as "the most trusted man in America" after being so named in an opinion poll.^[2][3][4] Cronkite received numerous honors including two Peabody Awards, a George Polk Award, an Emmy Award and in 1981 was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Jimmy Carter.

"Cronkite reported many events from 1937 to 1981, including bombings in World War II; the Nuremberg trials; combat in the Vietnam War;^[5] the Dawson's Field hijackings; Watergate; the Iran Hostage Crisis; and the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, civil rights pioneer Martin Luther King Jr., and Beatles musician John Lennon. He was also known for his extensive coverage of the U.S. space program, from Project Mercury to the Moon landings to the Space Shuttle. He was the only non-NASA recipient of an Ambassador of Exploration award.^[6] Cronkite is known for his departing catchphrase, "And that's the way it is", followed by the date of the broadcast.^[7]

"Cronkite died at his home in 2009, at the age of 92, from cerebrovascular disease."
