John Derek came running in the house, "Mom, you have to come look at this . . . and you probably want a container!" I was unimpressed. Trying to get dinner on and waighted down with the stress of the day. When I didn't jump up and run he said, "It's a Turtle!" Then I jumped and ran!!
I love turtles. I think it has to do with the turtles my Grandfather would bring back from his visits to Tennessee. I think it was so sweet that my John Derek knew my feelings and wanted to share with me something he knew would make me happy.
We all had fun holding and playing with the turtle. Even Michael was mesmorized. It was a nice break to a busy day. I emailed Derek the above picture. He said that the best part was knowing how I was feeling right then and knowing how excited I was. I love that he knows me so well too.

"18 And this they did, it being in their view a testimony to God, and also to men, that they never would use weapons again for the shedding of man’s blood; and this they did, vouching and covenanting with God, that rather than shed the blood of their brethren they would give up their own lives; and rather than take away from a brother they would give unto him; and rather than spend their days in idleness they would labor abundantly with their hands."
Just
amazing. That on the brink of war they choose to bury their weapons. I
can imagine tears of worry about the future. The knowledge that some
would be lost. But oh what faith. The Faith to move mountains.
