Family Time

Gathered around the computer in our office everyone is having a wonderful time especially Eric.
General Conference was wonderful. I loved all the talks! Talk about having your spiritual batteries recharged!

This is a watermelon from our garden. It was soooo good!! The birds got all the rest of them though...apparently they were a little too good.

"Two Wolves" - {Cherokee Wisdom}

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all.

One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
