"The Final Judgment is not just an evaluation of a sum total of good and evil acts--what we have done. It is an acknowledgement of the final effect of our acts and thoughts-- what we have become." - Elder Dallin H. Oaks

Giving Thanks (Hence the Holiday Thanksgiving)

Hey guys! In this post I'm going to name 14 things I'm thankful for, and only 14 since that's how old I am and if I named everything it would take up all the memory on this computer.
(If you guys want, you can do this on your blogs or facebook pages. Just put 1 thing that you're thankful for for every year you've been alive.)

I'm thankful for. . . .
1. A family that cares for me and loves me so much
2. God and everything He's given me
3. Friends that are always there for me when I need them, and even when I don't
4. Good times and memories that I will cherish forever
5. Music and the joy it gives me
6. Opportunities to serve even though sometimes it doesn't seem fun
7. Smiles
8. The gospel of Jesus Christ
9. Technology especially computers and cell phones
10. The ability to talk. As many of you know, I never stop
11. Everyone in the world that makes my happy life possible. (Doctors, teachers, dentists, etc. . .)
12. My mind, although I lose it at times, I enjoy being able to figure things out for myself and I love learning new things
13. A warm home that I can come home to everyday, and the love and peace that I feel there
(Last but most certainly NOT least. . .)
14. All of you who have helped me through everything in my life that has been thrown at me. You guys have never let me down.

Thanks to all of you. I love you all, and have a great Thanksgiving break! You guys help me more than you know.
Love-
Rachel

The Soundtrack of My Life

Okay guys, here's the deal to the Soundtrack of My Life. Copy and paste the bolded questions into your blog and if you have a little music player on your blog (or just a regular iPod) turn it on shuffle. Then, you hit the play button and let the songs answer what your soundtrack to your life would be. No cheating! What it lands on, you put it. :D Make sense?


Well, just watch. I promise it will. :D
