How To:

Dry your scriptures (or any book for that matter) after they go swimming with the kids in the bath tub.

Ya. My nice set of scriptures just went swimming. Oh dear. I actually got really lucky. It's almost like they floated for about a second before I could pull them out. You see, Big T was about to go under. Pulled him out, pulled the scriptures out. The edges got wet in a few places, and then the pages I was opened to got soaked.

Have you ever seen "The Incredibles"?

Well, there is a part in the movie where the house sprinklers come on and soak everything. Then it shows Mr. Incredible drying out the books with a hair dryer. It looks so flawlessly easy. He just points and shoots and the pages turn themselves without bending or getting crinkled.

It's. Not. That. Simple.
The hair dryer did make the drying process very fast. But the pages will crinkle. Just so ya know.
I think that that will be the last time I read while the kids are in the tub!!!
Lesson learned.

Last year I read "The Help" by Katheryn Stockett. Loved the book! Last night I went to the movie with a few girlfriends. It was so great! A movie is at it's best when it makes you laugh, cry, and hurt in two hours! This hit the spot. I loved it! You have to go see it. To make the evening even better was how it all started!
We were in line deciding what treats to get. I made a joke about how if i got the BIG drink that I would have to pee half way through the movie. Well, the poor kid behind the counter said, "This might sound awkward, but did you know that there is an app that lets you know when there is a slow spot in the movie so you can...RUN P!" I started laughing so hard! I don't have a smart phone, so this may be late news to some of you, but it's not to me! Hahahaha!

And now back to packing. YIKES!

A New Way

Usually when I read a book I:

read the last sentance (I know, I'm terrible.)

Start at the very beginning and read every page until the end

That is what I have done every time I read my favorite book

The Book of Mormon

Another Testament of Jesus Christ

Not this time!

This time I'm doing things a bit differently.

This time I:

picked a topic in the Topical Guide (Bible)

read every verse listed (and possible surrounding verses to fully understand concept)

I LOVE IT!

Maybe you should try it :)

I started with "Jesus Christ"

It's long, but what a better place to start!
