Quid est veritas?

"The Holy Ghost is the Testifier of Truth, who can teach men things they cannot teach one another. "
Gordon B. Hinckley - Ensign Jul. 2006

This past week was Easter; and truly, what a lovely time of year. I can not help but still be amazed at the amount of love it must have taken for Jesus Christ to endure all that he did, for me. When I began investigating the LDS church more than 5 years ago, the idea of the Atonement took me by surprise. At the time it was hard for me to believe that I was a worthwhile person, and to be taught that not only did someone else believe that I was worthwhile, but that He believed I was worth enough to suffer immeasurably and die for was a humbling and uplifting experience. Today, I do not find the thought so surprising, but it remains just as beautiful and touching as the first time I heard about. I will forever be eternally grateful to my Savior.

Dyeing eggs was a lot of fun.

She's pleased that it's Easter!

This is what summer looks like. Even though it's NOT summer yet, but it IS in the high 80's.

Painting I've been working on for Dan. And it has been taking me FOREVER. I started it over the Thanksgiving break and it is still not done. Sigh.

I was playing with some ink that I have. I'm just doing some preliminary sketches. I'm thinking about making several big pictures like unto this one to hang in my living room. But I'm not sure yet, so instead I'm just doing small paintings first.
