We have had fun during our track out.  Here are some pictures of us at the library and the park.

The Infinite Atonement (Illustrated Edition) by Tad R. Callistar

Pg. 187-
Elder Spencer W. Kimball told of Holman Hunt, the artist, who one day showed a friend his painting of Christ knocking at the door.  Suddenly the friend exclaimed, "'There is one thing wrong about your picture.'"
"' What is it?' inquired the artist.
"' The door on which Jesus knocks has no handle,' replied his friend.
"' Ah,' responses Mr. Hunt, 'that is not a mistake.  You see, this is the door to the human heart.  It can be opened only from the inside.''  Elder Kimball then continued: "And thus is is.  Jesus may stand and knock, but each of us decides whether to open."  Priesthood leaders may warn, counsel, discipline, and lovingly encourage, but all this will be in vain unless there is sometime, somewhere an inward change of heart.



My husband in the bishop of our ward.  He continually tires to remind himself that he cannot change the people that come to him.  That if he offends them it is because they are not willing to listen to the council of the Lord.  That only they can make the choice to change their heart.  I think the Savior offended a lot of people because He spoke the truth and they were not willing to listen.  I know there are times in my life that I did not want to listen, I am grateful that I have changed my attitude and do continually pray for help to change my heart to one that will allow my Savior in every door of my heart.
