Mothers Who Know

"Mothers who know" do less. They permit less of what will not bear good fruit eternally. They allow less media in their homes, less distraction, less activity that draws their children away from their home. Mothers who know are willing to live on less and consume less of the world’s goods in order to spend more time with their children—more time eating together, more time working together, more time reading together, more time talking, laughing, singing, and exemplifying. These mothers choose carefully and do not try to choose it all. Their goal is to prepare a rising generation of children who will take the gospel of Jesus Christ into the entire world. Their goal is to prepare future fathers and mothers who will be builders of the Lord’s kingdom for the next 50 years. That is influence; that is power." ~Julie Beck

Our easy camping trip!



So I posted that we were going to go to Preston and then we decided rather than spend the $$ on gas we'd go camping with Sam and Treva. We met Shannon with Darren and Kathryn in Ogden and headed back to pick a campsite in Kaysville. It was very well developed with running water and flush toilets, as well as a fire pit and hammock. Did I mention that we decide to stay in their backyard? It was awesome. They have a firepit and everything. We had a great time visiting with them and are excited for them to have their new baby in October. Thanks guys for a great couple of days! Also thanks Shannon for having Darren and Kathryn for the whole week prior they had a blast!
