What part of Thanksgiving are you?




You Are Mashed Potatoes



Ordinary, comforting, and more than a little predictable

You're the glue that holds everyone together.

Day 23

Kendall is thankful for a pretty sunday dress

Charly is thankful for her scriptures

Marshal is thankful for Hot Rolls

Chuck is thankful for Christmas decorations

I am thankful for good primary songs that teach kids principles of the gospel I love the song If the Savior stood beside me. I thought I would share the words for those of you who may not know it.

If the Savior stood beside me, would I do the things I do? Would I think of His commandments and try harder to be true? Would I follow his example? Would I live more righteously if I could see the Savior standing nigh, watching over me?

If the Savior stood beside me, would I say the things I say? Would my words be true and kind if He were never far away? Would I try to share the gospel? Would I speak more revrently if I could see the Savior standing nigh, watching over me?

He is always near me though I do not see Him there, And because He loves me dearly, I am in His watchful care. So I'll be the kind of person that I know I'd like to be if I could see the Savior standing nigh, watching over me.

What kind of music are you?




You Are Country Music



You are friendly, down to earth, and fairly conservative.

You are true to your friends and your upbringing. Change is hard for you.

But beneath your old fashioned attitude, you are expressive and artistic in your own way.

Very few people can express pain and pleasure as eloquently as you can.
