Monday Memory Moment

This weekend I got into a discussion about colleges. One of my friends commented on how she doesn't want her daughter to go to the University of Idaho because it is ranked as the # 3 party school in the nation. My first reaction was to laugh. So many alumni are proud of that fact.

I don't remember what I said. What I should have mentioned was that the University of Idaho is also home to the first Institute of Religion, in the world!!!

...it is a fun unique fact to share...I graduated from the first Institute of religion.

My sister included this scrapbook page with a bunch of pictures she recently sent mee.

from the picture: This is the original podium in the Moscow Institute Building. This podium was presented to the church for the Institute's 75th anniversary in May 2001. Elder Eyring asked that it remain in Moscow until the 100th Anniversary of the Institute Program.
Created in 1926 as the first institute for The Church of Jesus Christ of LAtter-Day Saints.
Dan Schoenburg restored the podium to what could be determined as it's original state.


Along with Elder's Erying's CES address we had an Institute Reunion including half hour ceremony for the 75th Anniversary. I have the ceremony and address on VHS. I was in the choir :-). His address Education for Real Life can be found by following the link.

Monday Memory Moment

As a high school student I took the opportunity to brighten peoples day by secretly decorating doors. I usually had one or more friend with mee. We typically had a "theme". 

A couple of themes were "Heart Attacks" and "Egging". A "Heart Attack" included color paper hearts either blank or with happy words, or positive actions noticed. "Egging" was usually done around Easter. Paper eggs where often colored with words including "Your eggcellent", "Thank you for being a good eggsample."

This habit is one that followed mee through college and the mission field. It is one I might need to take up 

again.

Just before the end of my mission I received a Valentine's package from my mother. In it was...

Heart shaped sticky notes. I was so excited! "Heart Attacks" were now so much easier! I am certain at least one district and zone leader fell victim, as well as various others.

From that time sticky notes have come out in a variety of shapes and colors. I often find it hard to pass up a new style. It is to such a level that I have a drawer at work dedicated to them.

One might think with as many as I have I wouldn't get excited about getting any more. What a mistake. I am continually delighted with new ones. These were received from my Little Man for Christmas.

The Good Lord And The Man

I was listening to the Radio when this song came on. Loved it. Found it. I am sharing it with you!!!



Artist: Rich John
Album: Son Of A Preacher Man
Well he was one of the millions
who signed up to defend us
long ago in 1941
when they sucker punched us in Pearl Harbor
he fought under Macarthur seventeen with an army Thompson gun


Well he stormed a lot of beaches slept in jungles with the leaches
he saw things young man should never see
and when they shot him in the shoulder
he got back up and he marched over
left a lot of brothers dead in kawagalie


If it wasn’t for the good lord and the man
there wouldn’t be a breath of freedom in this land
and I see people on my T.V. taking shots at uncle Sam
I hope they always remember why they can
cause we’d all be speakin’ German livin’ under the flag of Japan


if it wasn’t for the good lord and the man
if it wasn’t for the good lord and the man


Well I’m the grandson of a soldier and I’d fight the whole world over
if duty called and freedoms on the line
but thanks to the greatest generation and the ones still fighting for our nation
I’ve never had to kill for my way of life


If it wasn’t for the good lord and the man
there wouldn’t be a breath of freedom in this land
and I see people on my T.V. taking shots at uncle Sam
I hope they always remember why they can
cause we’d all be speakin’ German livin’ under flag of Japan
if it wasn’t for the good lord and the man


if it wasn’t for the good lord and the man
there wouldn’t be a breath of freedom in this land
and I see people on my T.V. taking shots at uncle Sam
I hope they always remember why they can
cause we’d all be speakin’ German livin’ under flag of Japan


if it wasn’t for the good lord and the man
if it wasn’t for the good lord and the man
