Sunrise, Sunset

Image
Which is it?  It's looks like a sunset picture, but its not.  Alicia, Kimmy, Dad and I went to Fort DeSoto last Friday and these are some of the pictures I took of the sunrise with the Skyway Bridge.  These pictures were made possible in part by the following: Alicia's determination to go (I wouldn't have gotten up that early by myself), Dad for coming (because I might have left Alicia and Kimmy to go by themselves, again because of the early hour), Dad's camera (because I left mine in Utah), the sun (for coming up every day), and to the one who created it. And here's a fun picture of Alicia in the photography zone.  Thanks for going Alicia.  

Manhattan Declaration

http://www.manhattandeclaration.org/home.aspx Hi folks, Trevor shared this link with me a few weeks ago and I thought I'd pass it along.  It's a declaration written by  prominent Christian clergy, ministry leaders, and scholars in defense of the sanctity of life, traditional marriage, and religious liberty.  It's kind of like the family proclamation, except it's longer, and it's not a revelation...  But it has similar ideas to the FP as well as Elder Oaks' devotional address at BYU-I this past year about religious freedom and Elder Nelson's address to young adults in Massachusetts last month about the connection between church and state .  Read through it and see what you think.  Could be a good conversation topic with your friends who belong do different churches. PS- Elder Wickman addressed the J. Reuben Clark Law School Society back in February about religion in the public square as well.  Just came across it.
