Living with Purpose -- Randall L. Ridd

In January of 2015, Brother Randall L. Ridd (2nd Counselor in the Young Men General Presidency) gave this talk at BYU-Idaho in Rexburg, Idaho.

I have only listened to a little bit of the first part of his talk, but it sounds like some good advice so far.

Also -- I saw that the organist used two levels with his right hand as he played!  I play the organ.  I have never played like that before.  Interesting.  I liked the way it sounded when he did that.

Here's the link:

Living with Purpose

Alison Bents Photography

I love photography.

I love really GOOD photography.

I thought at one point that perhaps I would like to become a photographer, but I think I have discovered that although I love looking at really good pictures, and I like being able to take really good pictures, that I do not think I would be able to spend all of my time doing everything necessary to do all that a photographer does.

So -- for now, I will just enjoy looking at what other people take pictures of.

Enjoy!

I like this USA Canon Commercial

It has an old lady (91) who is trying to put together a camera and operate a printer.

Northern Images

I went to this site and just kept the home page up for a while because it had such pretty pictures that it showed, slowly, one after another, giving me enough time to enjoy each picture.

I loved it.

Enjoy!

Northern Images

I found the above site because I saw some pretty pictures on my cousin's wall in his house, and he told me that his daughter had taken the pictures.  They were of a bridge in Duluth and of the Split Rock Lighthouse.

I looked for Google Images of the light house and found a picture that I really liked, taken by the guy who has the Northern Images web site, so I went to his site, and Vwala!  More beautiful pictures!

Here's the picture I found that lead me to go to his site:

Coding!  (Made with Code .com)

Here is a Google website that I saw today on Google.

I played a "dancing" game where I had to "write code" for my dancing elf.

On the right, the first elf would dance, and there would be up, down, right & left arrows, etc... when the elf would dance right or left, up or down.

I then had to do the same moves for my elf.

There were repeat signs, and how many times to repeat....

It was fun!

If this is what coding is, it's interesting.  I'm not sure I'd want to do it every day for a job, but it's fun to learn about.

It's kind of like writing music.  I like to write music too, but it does take a lot of time and thought.

You have to be exact.

I like being exact..........

JET.com  (a site perhaps similar to Amazon where you can Buy Diapers Cheaply!)

I went to a baby shower this morning.

One of the ladies there suggested that the "mother-to-be" check out JET.com to be able to buy diapers at a reasonably cheap price.   : )

I've never bought anything at this site, so I don't know if that is the case, but it probably is.

Yogurt Reviews!

Obani or whatever it is -- their Pumpkin Greek Yogurt was not good.........  To me, it tasted like plain Greek yogurt with some Pumpkin SPICEs in it.  It was gritty too.

However.............

DANNON's Greek Pumpkin Yogurt was VERY yummy!  After stirring it, it was creamy and delicious.

And....

"Open Nature"'s 2% milkfat Pineapple Greek Yogurt was also very yummy.

The more milk fat in there, the better, in my opinion.  I have no idea what percent the other Greek yogurts had.

That's it for now.

I love yogurt.  I actually love the way yogurt USED to taste, way back in the 70s.......  To me, THAT is true yogurt.

It had some sort of flavor that just made it yummy.

One time, in Germany, I found a yogurt that reminded me of the yogurt of days gone by, but since then, I haven't found any yogurt that tastes like "REAL" yogurt, like it was in the 70s.

Sign Language Chat

I know a little bit of American Sign Language.  I want to learn more and I would love to be fluent in signing.

Elder Renlund and His Wife

I like learning about the lives of the Apostles.

If you scroll down on the website page that I'll put a link to below, you'll see a picture of Elder and Sister Renlund walking down the steps of the Administration Building.

It makes me smile.

It made me think of two people looking at each other and saying, "We've made it!  Let's go!  We just got access to everything we will need for the rest of our lives!  Nothing else will ever go wrong!  We're done!  We're FREE!".

I think that when we trust in Jesus, Heavenly Father and the Holy Ghost, and when we obey God's commandments, that we CAN feel that way.

There is nothing to worry about.  There is no need to fear.  We can go forth with confidence, knowing that whatever happens, God will help us through it.

2 Hours of Piano Music on YouTube

I like this guy's music.  His name is Dennis Kuo.  His last name is pronounced like "Quote", without the T sound on the end.

I do NOT like how the drawings start twisting every now and then.

Maybe he did it in order to give the "still" pictures some movement, and/or maybe he is trying to add an artistic touch to the video...

However, it is NOT calming to me.  I can't look at it.  Ick.

I still really like the music though.........

I was able to skim through the whole 2 hours and it looks like he does the twisty thing throughout the video, but only occasionally, which.... is still annoying.

When I have time to listen to the full 2 hours (or even 30 minutes or an hour at a time), I will evaluate the "annoying-ness" of the twisty drawings, and if it's more than I can stand, then I might consider deleting my post.

But I REALLY like the music.  The MUSIC is calming to me.  I could just have the music playing in the background while I'm doing housework or working on my juggling....   : )

I know that often, things aren't going to be 100% great, or the way we would like it to be, but if they are more than 10% BAD, they need to go in the trash can (and if 1% of the "BAD" is 100% obscene, disgusting or evil, then it needs to go in the trash can for sure).

Enjoy! (I hope...)  : )

SCRIPTURES!

Hey!  Since this blog is mainly for me to refer back to when I want to find something either cool, interesting or wonderful, I'm going to put some scriptures here.

This first one is D&C 137.

This is where Joseph Smith saw the Celestial Kingdom of God, the gates thereof, the blazing throne of God, with Heavenly Father and Jesus sitting there.

Click on the link below:

The Celestial Kingdom

This next scripture is from the New Testament in the Bible.  It's in Revelation 21:10.  St. John the Devine talks about seeing the holy city, New Jerusalem, descending out of heaven, and he describes what it looks like.  He says that the foundation of the walls of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones -- sapphire, emerald, etc......

I love reading about things like that.  It is breath-taking and amazing and fills me with happiness, excitement and hope.

Click on the link below:

New Jerusalem

The words they use to describe what they saw are probably not even adequate, and PALE in comparison to what they actually saw.  As "E" says in "The Incredibles" movie -- "Words are USELESS darling!  Gobble, Gobble, Gobble, Gobble, Gobble..... That is why I SHOW you.".

I know that there are MANY things that I have seen -- various sunsets, rainbows, rivers, the ocean, old buildings, etc....., and even my camera cannot capture what I saw.

BYU-I Devotionals and Speeches

Today, I listened to Jayson Kunzler speak at the Tuesday Devotional at BYU-Idaho.

PINKING SHEARS

We just got some OLD pinking shears (in good condition) from my husband's mother.  The instructions said that they can be used to "finish" fabric.

I had never known how pinking shears could be used to "finish" fabric, so I started looking for information about pinking shears.

First, I'm going to put a link to a video about how to help your sharpened pinking shears work smoothly.   : )

CAPRESE PASTA SALAD

Hi!  Today I had some Caprese Pasta Salad, but I didn't know that THAT was the name of it until now!

I went looking for a mozzarella, basil, grape tomato, pasta dish recipe, and found a ton of "Caprese" recipes!

This one that I'll post here is from Pioneer Woman, where (a few years ago), I found a really good shortening/butter pie crust recipe.  I can't find it on her site anymore, but I have it written down somewhere....

Anyway -- This recipe has a "reduced" balsamic vinegar in it.  It's a "thicker" vinegar.  It sounds good.   : )  She said that the vinegar is good on steak, too.

Anyway -- it's a START!

The dish I had today was different:

It had cold pasta, put into a pan with olive oil and minced garlic, and tossed with little mozzarella balls, salt, pepper, cut basil and sliced grape tomatoes.

It was SO good!!!!

For the pasta dish, you could add either add cold chicken, and serve it like that, OR you could make it into a hot dish and melt fresh parmesan over it...

But -- for just a plain ol' mozzarella, tomato, basil dish, here's the Pioneer Woman's recipe!

Nothing Much....

This link below is to a LIFETIME of learning, compacted into ONE, long lesson from the manual "Preach My Gospel"!

It goes from the topics of "before we lived" to "after we die".

TAKE the TIME necessary to study each topic.

You might not understand everything.  It is not all understandable, but I believe that it is all true.

I believe that God created this earth, even though I don't know HOW He did it.

I believe that I will die one day, and that my spirit "me" will go to where Heavenly Father is one day, even though I do not understand how it will happen.

I believe that my body will be resurrected one day, even though I do not know how that will happen.

I can still believe in things even though I don't know how they work.

I know how to drive a car, but I do not know how it works.

I can breathe and think and move, even though I do not exactly how it's happening.

SOME people on earth know about cars.  Some people know medical information about how our bodies work.  Some people know all about astronomy.  Some people know how to successfully DIVE deep into the ocean.  Nobody on earth knows how to do everything.  God knows about all of these things.

Listen to the promptings of the Holy Ghost, helping you FEEL that these things are true.

Have faith.

Trust God.

Know that all SIN ultimately leads to destruction.

Acknowledge that you are weak, and pray to God for strength beyond your own.  He can help you do things that you wouldn't be able to do either at all, or as well without His help.

If you want to patent something, go to the United States Patent and Trademark Office's website.

I am putting this here so I will have quick, easy access to this site.

Here's the link:

A Song!

"Nearer My God to Thee/Come Thou Font of Ev'ry Blessing"
-- by Grace Hegy

Found at LDS Arrangements website.

My friend posted this on Facebook.

When you go to the website, click on the play button and listen to the song.

You can pay $3.00 and download it and then make as many copies as you need for your performance.

Click on these words to go there!

FIRST POST!

Reasons for this new blog:

1)  I can always have the websites and various links that I like here.

2)  I can put a description with the link.

3)  I will be more selective about what kinds of articles, songs, pictures, etc. that I want to review again and again.   : )


Enjoy!

This is mainly just for me -- but if you find something you like too, then great!


Miscellaneous information not related to this blog:

I like hippopotamuses and watermelons.

I was just thinking -- I should draw a picture of a hippopotamus eating some watermelon!!!!  That would be GREAT!  Ha ha!
