I’d have to say that this is my theme song for my kids. I don’t know how you’d describe the love for your children, but for me I’d have to say that I love them so much that it hurts. Sometimes I can sit and look at my 5 yr old sleeping away and just cry because the love I have for him (and his siblings is so intense that it overcomes me). I don’t cry about much in my life, if you ask anyone who knows me they’ll tell you that I’m a very strong person. I handle pain better than most men. I just have that ability. But, this is the one area in my life where I’m about as weepy as they come. It’s good though, because with all the stress that goes on in my life I need an outlet somewhere.
To My Biggest Heroes Ever, My Children:
I hope this Sunday finds you well. Unfortunately, well does not become me today. I’ve been fighting sinus problems for over a week now, and the stuff decided to make it’s journey down into my lungs. So, it’s made sleep anything but restful. This is the first Sunday in a month where I will not go to church. After a period of a long inactivity, I went back four weeks ago so I’m a little sad that I won’t be there. But, I just have to keep the faith, and realize that I will get better.
Since it is Sunday though, I figured I’d share a few lyrics/songs with you.
Here’s a video compilation of the song “Joseph Smith’s First Prayer”.
Words:
LDS Hymns #26
Oh, how lovely was the morning!
Radiant beamed the sun above.
Bees were humming, sweet birds singing.
Music ringing thru the grove.
When within the shady woodland.
Joseph sought the God of love.
When within the shady woodland.
Joseph sought the God of love.
Humbly kneeling, sweet appealing.
Twas the boy’s first uttered prayer.
When the pow’rs of sin assailing.
Filled his soul with deep despair.
But undaunted still he trusted.
In his Heav’nly Father’s care.
But undaunted still he trusted.
In his Heav’nly Father’s care.
Suddenly a light descended.
Brighter far than noon-day sun.
And a shining glorious piller
O’er him fell around him shone.
While appeared two heav’nly beings
God the Father and the Son,
While appeared two heav’nly beings
God the Father and the Son
Joseph this is my Beloved
Hear him! Oh, how sweet the word.
Joseph’s humble prayer was answered,
And he listened to the Lord.
Oh, what rapture filled his bosom,
For he saw the living God;
Oh, what rapture filled his bosom,
For he saw the living God
This is probably my favorite hymn of all time, click it below to hear it from the embedded player:
I received this scam email today purported to be from the IRS, and what a scam it is.
Here’s a copy of the email:

Here is a copy of the website for which the link takes you to:
This things a real doozy, it asks for your Social Security Number, Your Credit Card Number (because it supposedly will be depositing your “refund” onto your credit card), your expiration date, the card code, an electronic signature (which they want you to give them your credit card PIN number for), and your issuing bank name.
Please don’t fall for this, and be on the lookout for it. Also, alert all of your friends to this scam. I can just imagine how many people fall for this, and how many people have their financial lives ruined over it.
The old one was just too blah for me, so I changed to this one. Give me your thoughts.
I haven’t blogged personally in a long time, and I’m so glad that I’m finally getting the opportunity to. Now I can write about all kinds of topics besides the former Governor of Massachusetts. 
I’ll be talking about a variety of subjects from life in general to architecture. Anyway, feel free to comment on my musings.
