About Us

It's no surprise to those that know us...That we Love God, Family and German Shepherds. And of course we treasure the outdoors (especially miss Northern Ontario), music and good food. We value the work ethic and always trying to be better each moment. Everything that life has to offer with it's interwoven tapestry. Motto: FAMILY FIRST and Good Works are the Best Medicine.

Today's Scripture Study: D&C 44

This is the piece that spoke to me most:
"5 That your aenemies may not have power over you; that you may be preserved in all things; that you may be enabled to keep my laws; that every bond may be broken wherewith the enemy seeketh to destroy my people.
6 Behold, I say unto you, that ye must avisit the poor and the needy and administer to their relief, that they may be kept until all things may be done according to my law which ye have received. Amen."
D&C 44: 5-6

In this passage, enemies refer to those things in life that can bring us down. In other words - people, places and things in which I have no control over. The cure or protection is touched upon in the next verse where it talks about visiting the poor and needy. Again, getting out of ourselves and helping others not necessarily takes away the trial but can bring some peace in our life so we are not consumed in our own sorrows. And also it helps us to develop charity, which is the Pure Love of Christ.

Today, I am grateful for the blessings that God continues to pour out in our lives.
