Joy or Pleasure

Fire has been a great tool for man since it was first harnessed.  It can do so much: cook food, bring warmth, protection, and can be beautiful.  It is a great tool.  This great tool can also be very destructive.  The same tool that can be used to bring joy and warmth into a home when contained inside of the fireplace, if allowed outside, can burn and destroy the whole house, and everything inside of it. 

Thanksgiving or Pre-Christmas?

Yesterday was Thanksgiving.  I had a ton of fun eating lots of food like I always do at Thanksgiving.  Yesterday morning before all of the food and fun, Elder Wells and I went to Walmart for a few last minute things.  It was funny to walk around Walmart on Thanksgiving with all of the Christmas things out and Christmas music playing.  Also as we drove around  town, people already have put up their Christmas lights.  It was amazing to see people already getting into Christmas before Thanksgiving was even past.
