No More Glasses

I had lasik surgery on January 29. Now the only glasses I wear are sunglasses. This is a big change from the last 50 years. I hate having my picture made, you should have seem some of them, looking tipsy was the kindest description. But here I am now, trying to adjust to "mono" vision. I had one eye done near sighted and one eye done far sighted. Each eye sees 20/20 but together my brain hasn't quite figured it out. I didn't see the need of getting surgery and then having to wear glasses to see to read and look at the computer. It has been an adventure and I can't tell you how many times I have tried to take my contacts out or take my glasses off to rest my tired eyes. The age of modern technology we live in is amazing. It is wonderful to wake up in the morning and see what I'm doing and not have to worry if my earrings going to look good with my glasses. It's a whole new world!

NO UNHALLOWED HAND

Yesterday we went to the Draper Temple open house. It's amazing to me the beautiful buildings that the Church creates. The chandelier in the Celestial room literally took my breath away. This Church, which started a mere 179 years ago, has temples all over the world. It amazes me. Only something true could grow and flourish in a world where we are still the most persecuted religion. Satan is scared, he's using all the tactics he can to keep people from wanting to know the glorious "good news" of the gospel. But "No unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing. persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished and the Great Jehovah shall say the work is done."
