 3  3. The past is a closed door, the present is an open one, and the future is an approaching one.

  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.

Walt's Mission Farewell was 
Friday, August 6, 1954. You had to be 20 years old to serve a mission. This photo is at Temple Square in Salt Lake City, August  , 1954, the day he received his Endowment 
in the Salt Lake Temple.
Dedicated to our seven children--Janie, Gary, Steve, David, Julie, Brian, Jen...

  ...their spouses-- Julie, John, Jennifer, Jerry--our 39 grandchildren--8 spouses of G-C, and 8 great-grandchildren, including Ingrid Ray born December 4, 2024--for a posterity of 71.

Family is Everything…
Woke with this song in my head ..
Well, I came down there with my hat caved in
Oh I'll go back home with my pocket full of tin
        oh doo-dah dayGoin' to run all night, goin' to run all dayI'll bet my money on the bobtail nag, 
somebody bet on the bay.
Well, the Camptown ladies sing this song 
                 doodah doodahAh the Camptown race track's five miles long 
         oh doo-dah dayGoin' to run all night, goin' to run all dayI'll bet my money on the bobtail nag, 
    somebody bet on the bay.

I just saw this article:

The 7 times the Tabernacle Choir went to Washington for a presidential inauguration

The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square has participated in 7 U.S. presidential inaugurations for 6 presidents…

It was in 1981 at President Ronald Reagan’s inauguration when the choir sang “Battle Hymn of the Republic” that he dubbed the group “America’s Choir,” according to the choir’s website and ChurchofJesusChrist.org.

The events the choir has participated in include:

  • The 1965 swearing-in ceremony for President Lyndon B. Johnson.
The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square sings under the attentive gaze of the nation’s political leaders, at the inauguration of Richard Nixon on Jan. 20, 1969, in Washington, D.C. | Deseret News archives

  • Events at both inaugurations for President Richard M. Nixon in 1969 and 1973; in 1969, the choir performed in the swearing-in ceremony and inaugural concert; in 1973, 30 choir members sang in the inaugural devotional in the White House East Room.
  • The parade and swearing-in ceremony for Reagan in 1981.
  • In 1989, the choir performed in parades and concerts for President George H.W. Bush’s inauguration.
  • In 2001 for President George W. Bush, the choir sang before the swearing-in ceremony and in the parade.
  • In 2017, 215 members of the Tabernacle Choir sang “America the Beautiful” during the inauguration of President Donald Trump.

The choir has also performed for several other U.S. presidents, both in Utah and in Washington. These include performances in the Salt Lake Tabernacle for Presidents Jimmy Carter in 1978 and John F. Kennedy in 1963.

The choir performed at the Kennedy Center in Washington in 1974, where President Gerald Ford heard them. It performed at the White House in 1958 for President Dwight D. Eisenhower and for William Howard Taft in 1911.

The Tabernacle Choir includes up to 360 volunteer singers and a roster of up to 200 orchestra members. A smaller group generally goes on travel assignments. These “musical missionaries” are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and choir members have a monthslong audition process. The choir’s origins date back to 1847, when pioneer members of the Church formed a choir to sing at a conference of the Church weeks after arriving in Utah’s Salt Lake Valley.

The Church maintains a position of political neutrality and doesn’t endorse candidates or parties. Church leaders do encourage members “to be active citizens by registering, exercising their right to vote and engaging in civic affairs, always demonstrating Christlike love and civility in political discourse.”

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."
Daily Scripture: And blessed are all they who do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled with the Holy Ghost. - 3 Nephi 12:6
Daily Quote: We have been promised the constant companionship of the third member of the Godhead and hence the privilege of receiving revelation for our own lives. - Sheri L. Dew

Matshona T Dhliwayo

 35. If there was no such thing as change, we would suffer from monotony; and if there was no such thing as monotony, we would yearn for constancy.

  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.Walt called himself "The last of the old-time country doctors."He delivered about 4,000 babies, among fixing broken hips, other surgeries, and even made house calls.As Janie said in his obituary:"He healed many hearts, heads, hands, and everything in-between."

 In the 1950s you had to be 20 to serve a mission. This is Walt in August 1954, on the day he was set apart in Salt Lake City 
to be a missionary.

Dedicated to our seven children--Janie, Gary, Steve, David, Julie, Brian, Jen...
