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.

Dedicated to our seven children--Janie, Gary, Steve, David, Julie, Brian, Jen, their spouses, our 39 grandchildren, 6 great-grandchildren, and posterity to come.

 Happy June 1^st…

{1} ♪♫June is bustin’ out all over♫♪♫♪

All over the meadow and the hill!
Buds're bustin' outa bushes
And the rompin' river pushes

Ev'ry little wheel that wheels beside the mill!

{2} ♪♫June is bustin’ out all over!♫♪♫♪

The feelin' is gettin' so intense
That the young Virginia creepers
Hev been huggin' the bejeepers
Outa all the mornin'-glories on the fence.

Because it's June!
June, June, June          
 Just because it’s June, June, June!♪♫”

{3} ♪♫June is bustin’ out all over!♫♪♫♪

The ocean is full of Jacks and Jills,
With her little tail a-swishin'
Ev'ry lady fish is wishin'
That a male would come
And grab her by the gills!

Because it's June! June, June, June           

Just because it’s June, June, June!♪♫”

  Fresh and alive and gay and young
 June is a love song, sweetly sung

  

{4} ♪♫June is bustin’ out all over!♫♪♫♪
   The saplin's are bustin' out with sap!
   Love he's found my brother, "Junior,"
   And my sister's even lunier,
   And my ma is gettin' kittenish with Pap.

   

“♪♫June is bustin’ out all over♫♪♫♪

(…believe it or not, there are even more verses…)
Rodgers and Hammerstein

Carousel—opening on Broadway April 19,1945-- is the second musical by the team of Richard Rodgers (music) and Oscar Hammerstein II (book and lyrics)…. The show includes the well-known songs "If I Loved You", "June Is Bustin' Out All Over" and "You'll Never Walk Alone". Richard Rodgers later wrote that Carousel was his favorite of all his musicals.

In 1999,Time magazine named Carousel 

the best musical of the Century.

And that's more than you 

ever wanted to know...

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.

*** *** ***

Jesus Christ came to earth as The Only Begotten of the Father and fulfilled the Atonement. He is the Redeemer of all. 

“An omnicompetent God leaves all mortals free to choose, but how grateful we should be that God chose long, long ago to rescue and to resurrect all His children through the Atonement of His Son. Nevertheless, some reject and many are indifferent to these and other divine beckonings, mostly because they are too caught up in the cares of the world. They are strangers to the Savior, who is far from the thoughts and intents of their hearts.”

Neal A Maxwell

How Choice a Seer!

                                                                     Revelation 19:16: -- "And he hath on his vesture and on

 his thigh a name written, 

KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS".

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 Dallin H. Oaks 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 Priesthood Temple Ordinances families can be sealed for eternity.

Melchizedek

Of these truths I testify in the 

Name of Jesus Christ, amen.
