Emily's Poem for the Talent Show

Emily performed recently in her school talent show at Greenfield Jr. High it is titled Fearful.

Fearful,
pitch black in the air
screams dying in the night, ghosts' chains scraping, clattering, clinging to the floor. The smoke of fire filling my lungs with gas pouring out of the trucks tanks only making the oxygen even more deadly. A graveyard, and in the very center a cottage. Bright flowers blooming and vines surround the magical place. Inside dark creatures of some kind lurk around only to lure their prey by the beautiness of the small house. Screams of horror return to the mind. Beads of sweat flowing down my face, making a puddle with each step I take. I am filled with emotions, sad and angry, but most of all scared of how my life ends. With the creatures staring me down to my fate as it creeps behind me to attack as I stray down an endless path.

GOOD JOB EM! We are so proud of you!

Time for Reflection


Yesterday Jared and I had the opportunity to go to the Mesa temple for Baptisms and some quality time for reflection. Many things in life remind me that my savior loves me, he is there for me and will be no matter what happens. Lately I have been able to help out a loved one with some personal matters. She was not aware that what she was doing was wrong and how to correct it. My family and I are still in the process of helping her to see the light. The only thing that still constantly comes to mind is to just remind her that her savior loves her and wants the best for her. She needs to respect herself and be treated with respect by others, for that is what she deserves by being a Daughter of God. While I had my reflection time at the temple it became so clear to me that all I needed to do was be an example. Be the person she can turn to when she needs anything and by living my life to the best that I can, showing her how happy she can be and will be once she changes her lifestyle.
For all of you, just remember your Father and your Brother love you, enough to sacrifice for you and are ALWAYS there for you. Take care, and take some time out of your busy days to reflect.
