What kind of wisdom and intelligence would be required to set in motion a system whereby regeneration and renewal happen as splendidly and dependably as the sunrise? I cannot fathom such perfect foresight. Almost everywhere we look in nature, there is some provision for renewal. Surely the cycles and sequences of nature were ordained by God; the natural world is a study in the absolute necessity of constant renewal. As marvelous as this power of renewal is in the world around us, it is even more compelling when we realize that it extends to us as well—individual human beings, sons and daughters of the same God who set the seasons in motion. He has endowed us with a promise and capacity for both physical and, more important, spiritual renewal. Darin Cozzens, “The Power of Renewal,” Ensign, Apr 1993, 7

I like this post. That quote at the bottom was great. Change can definitely be a good thing for us to learn and grow from.
Good luck with that Bishop thing--we have been wondering who had received that calling. You guys are both great-that is one lucky ward!
Time never just stops does it?! Sounds like you are set to be busy. Jeff will make a great Bishop!
Wow, beautiful quote, Marie. I really enjoyed that thought.
