Travel Boredom Busters
Are you headed out of town for Thanksgiving? We are! And our car DVD player is jammed with two DVDs (thank you Locke…grrr…) so watching a movie is not an option on our 6 hour drive to Boise. I am going to have to oil my rusty travel brain and bring out some travel boredom busters (that don’t involve a DVD):

11.11.11
This Friday is 11.11.11!!!! Nerds like me love this kind of stuff. (I always wanted a kid born on a perfect date, but the closest I got was 05.15.05. That is probably why he is my favorite.)

Dads and Daughters
Chad came home last March and had the great idea to get Elle Taylor Swift concert tickets for her birthday in April so that they could go together. He got 2 tickets and he couldn’t wait for her birthday. Well the big day finally came. Elle got all ready and Chad and Elle were off to the Taylor Swift concert together.
![I spoke in church today and said the Atonement of Jesus Christ is the greatest act of Charity. I read Moroni 7:45-47 to make my point. But wherever there was the word ‘Charity’ I substituted it out for ‘the Atonement of Jesus Christ.’ See if these scripture verses now have new meaning for you:
“And the Atonement of Jesus Christ suffererth long, and is kind, and envieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth in the truth,
[The Atonement of Jesus Christ] beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, if ye have not the Atonement of Jesus Christ, ye are nothing, for the Atonement of Jesus Christ never faileth. Wherefore, cleave unto the Atonement of Jesus Christ, which is the greatest of all, for all things must fail-
But the Atonement of Jesus Christ is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him.”
So Easter really reminds us of love. The first and greatest commandment.](https://www.raisinglemons.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed-pro/img/placeholder.png)
