Corianton


I always wondered what happened to Corianton. Did he humble himself, listen to his father and repent? Or did he just continue to rebel and ruin his life? I knew that I had read something once that made me think that he had given away all his sins and turned to do right, but I couldn't find it. This week I found it. It is in Alma 48:17-18 where it talks about Moroni, and if all men were like him the powers of hell would be shaken. Then if verse 18 it talks about Ammon and ALL of Alma's sons being as good as Moroni. I love it that we have the ability to repent, that God doesn't want us to live unhappily stuck in our sins. He wants us to have the freedom that obedience brings, freedom from the painful sword of sin. I am so grateful for that.

Fun with the grandkids













The grandkids were over on Friday, just before a Winward reunion. Jason put the kids on the trampoline and we spent a great time jumping. Then Jason put the sprinkler underneath the trampoline. We got wet and had a great time. We had thought about going to the lake, but actually, with two 3 year olds and two 22 month olds - this was probably better and a lot more fun.
