Many years ago a candy maker wanted to make a candy that would symbolize the true meaning of Christmas – Jesus.
The hard candy was shaped like a ‘J’ to represent that Jesus is our rock of all ages. The candy was made of white to stand for the pureness of Jesus. The red represents the blood that Jesus shed to save us from our sins.
So the next time you see a candy cane take a minute to remember the real meaning of Christmas.

The Tender Mercies of the Lord
This is a talk a dear friend brought to my attention recently. It helped me realize some things and I wanted to share it with you. I know not everyone will understand it or get anything from it that read it. Just know, it has helped me.
The Tender Mercies of the Lord
Elder David A. Bednar
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
I testify that the tender mercies of the Lord are available to all of us and that the Redeemer of Israel is eager to bestow such gifts upon us.
Six months ago, I stood at this pulpit for the first time as the newest member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Both then and even more so now, I have felt and feel the weight of the call to serve and of the responsibility to teach with clarity and to testify with authority. I pray for and invite the assistance of the Holy Ghost as I now speak with you.
This afternoon I want to describe and discuss a spiritual impression I received a few moments before I stepped to this pulpit during the Sunday morning session of general conference last October. Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf had just finished speaking and had declared his powerful witness of the Savior. Then we all stood together to sing the intermediate hymn that previously had been announced by President Gordon B. Hinckley. The intermediate hymn that morning was "Redeemer of Israel" (Hymns, no. 6).
Now, the music for the various conference sessions had been determined many weeks before—and obviously long before my new call to serve. If, however, I had been invited to suggest an intermediate hymn for that particular session of the conference—a hymn that would have been both edifying and spiritually soothing for me and for the congregation before my first address in this Conference Center—I would have selected my favorite hymn, "Redeemer of Israel." Tears filled my eyes as I stood with you to sing that stirring hymn of the Restoration.
Near the conclusion of the singing, to my mind came this verse from the Book of Mormon: "But behold, I, Nephi, will show unto you that the tender mercies of the Lord are over all those whom he hath chosen, because of their faith, to make them mighty even unto the power of deliverance" (1 Nephi 1:20).
My mind was drawn immediately to Nephi's phrase "the tender mercies of the Lord," and I knew in that very moment I was experiencing just such a tender mercy. A loving Savior was sending me a most personal and timely message of comfort and reassurance through a hymn selected weeks previously. Some may count this experience as simply a nice coincidence, but I testify that the tender mercies of the Lord are real and that they do not occur randomly or merely by coincidence. Often, the Lord's timing of His tender mercies helps us to both discern and acknowledge them.
What Are the Tender Mercies of the Lord?
Since last October I have reflected repeatedly upon the phrase "the tender mercies of the Lord." Through personal study, observation, pondering, and prayer, I believe I have come to better understand that the Lord's tender mercies are the very personal and individualized blessings, strength, protection, assurances, guidance, loving-kindnesses, consolation, support, and spiritual gifts which we receive from and because of and through the Lord Jesus Christ. Truly, the Lord suits "his mercies according to the conditions of the children of men" (D&C 46:15).
Recall how the Savior instructed His Apostles that He would not leave them comfortless. Not only would He send "another Comforter" (John 14:16), even the Holy Ghost, but the Savior said that He would come to them (see John 14:18). Let me suggest that one of the ways whereby the Savior comes to each of us is through His abundant and tender mercies. For instance, as you and I face challenges and tests in our lives, the gift of faith and an appropriate sense of personal confidence that reaches beyond our own capacity are two examples of the tender mercies of the Lord. Repentance and forgiveness of sins and peace of conscience are examples of the tender mercies of the Lord. And the persistence and the fortitude that enable us to press forward with cheerfulness through physical limitations and spiritual difficulties are examples of the tender mercies of the Lord.
In a recent stake conference, the tender mercies of the Lord were evident in the touching testimony of a young wife and mother of four whose husband was slain in Iraq in December of 2003. This stalwart sister recounted how, after being notified of her husband's death, she received his Christmas card and message. In the midst of the abrupt reality of a dramatically altered life came to this good sister a timely and tender reminder that indeed families can be together forever. With permission I quote from that Christmas card:
"To the best family in the world! Have a great time together and remember the true meaning of Christmas! The Lord has made it possible for us to be together forever. So even when we are apart, we will still be together as a family.
"God bless and keep y'all safe and grant this Christmas to be our gift of love from us to Him above!!!
"All my love, Daddy and your loving husband!"
Clearly, the husband's reference to being apart in his Christmas greeting referred to the separation caused by his military assignment. But to this sister, as a voice from the dust from a departed eternal companion and father, came a most needed spiritual reassurance and witness. As I indicated earlier, the Lord's tender mercies do not occur randomly or merely by coincidence. Faithfulness, obedience, and humility invite tender mercies into our lives, and it is often the Lord's timing that enables us to recognize and treasure these important blessings.
Some time ago I spoke with a priesthood leader who was prompted to memorize the names of all of the youth ages 13 to 21 in his stake. Using snapshots of the young men and women, he created flash cards that he reviewed while traveling on business and at other times. This priesthood leader quickly learned all of the names of the youth.
One night the priesthood leader had a dream about one of the young men whom he knew only from a picture. In the dream he saw the young man dressed in a white shirt and wearing a missionary name tag. With a companion seated at his side, the young man was teaching a family. The young man held the Book of Mormon in his hand, and he looked as if he were testifying of the truthfulness of the book. The priesthood leader then awoke from his dream.
At an ensuing priesthood gathering, the leader approached the young man he had seen in his dream and asked to talk with him for a few minutes. After a brief introduction, the leader called the young man by name and said: "I am not a dreamer. I have never had a dream about a single member of this stake, except for you. I am going to tell you about my dream, and then I would like you to help me understand what it means."
The priesthood leader recounted the dream and asked the young man about its meaning. Choking with emotion, the young man simply replied, "It means God knows who I am." The remainder of the conversation between this young man and his priesthood leader was most meaningful, and they agreed to meet and counsel together from time to time during the following months.
That young man received the Lord's tender mercies through an inspired priesthood leader. I repeat again, the Lord's tender mercies do not occur randomly or merely by coincidence. Faithfulness and obedience enable us to receive these important gifts and, frequently, the Lord's timing helps us to recognize them.
We should not underestimate or overlook the power of the Lord's tender mercies. The simpleness, the sweetness, and the constancy of the tender mercies of the Lord will do much to fortify and protect us in the troubled times in which we do now and will yet live. When words cannot provide the solace we need or express the joy we feel, when it is simply futile to attempt to explain that which is unexplainable, when logic and reason cannot yield adequate understanding about the injustices and inequities of life, when mortal experience and evaluation are insufficient to produce a desired outcome, and when it seems that perhaps we are so totally alone, truly we are blessed by the tender mercies of the Lord and made mighty even unto the power of deliverance (see 1 Nephi 1:20).
Who Are They Whom the Lord Has Chosen to Receive His Tender Mercies?
The word chosen in 1 Nephi 1:20 is central to understanding the concept of the Lord's tender mercies. The dictionary indicates that chosen suggests one who is selected, taken by preference, or picked out. It also can be used to refer to the elect or chosen of God (Oxford English Dictionary Online, second ed. [1989], "Chosen").
Some individuals who hear or read this message erroneously may discount or dismiss in their personal lives the availability of the tender mercies of the Lord, believing that "I certainly am not one who has been or ever will be chosen." We may falsely think that such blessings and gifts are reserved for other people who appear to be more righteous or who serve in visible Church callings. I testify that the tender mercies of the Lord are available to all of us and that the Redeemer of Israel is eager to bestow such gifts upon us.
To be or to become chosen is not an exclusive status conferred upon us. Rather, you and I ultimately determine if we are chosen. Please now note the use of the word chosen in the following verses from the Doctrine and Covenants:
"Behold, there are many called, but few are chosen. And why are they not chosen?
"Because their hearts are set so much upon the things of this world, and aspire to the honors of men" (D&C 121:34–35; emphasis added).
I believe the implication of these verses is quite straightforward. God does not have a list of favorites to which we must hope our names will someday be added. He does not limit "the chosen" to a restricted few. Rather, it is our hearts and our aspirations and our obedience which definitively determine whether we are counted as one of God's chosen.
Enoch was instructed by the Lord on this very point of doctrine. Please note the use of the word choose in these verses: "Behold these thy brethren; they are the workmanship of mine own hands, and I gave unto them their knowledge, in the day I created them; and in the Garden of Eden, gave I unto man his agency;
"And unto thy brethren have I said, and also given commandment, that they should love one another, and that they should choose me, their Father" (Moses 7:32–33; emphasis added).
As we learn in these scriptures, the fundamental purposes for the gift of agency were to love one another and to choose God. Thus we become God's chosen and invite His tender mercies as we use our agency to choose God.
One of the most well-known and frequently cited passages of scripture is found in Moses 1:39. This verse clearly and concisely describes the work of the Eternal Father: "For behold, this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man" (emphasis added).
A companion scripture found in the Doctrine and Covenants describes with equal clarity and conciseness our primary work as the sons and daughters of the Eternal Father. Interestingly, this verse does not seem to be as well known and is not quoted with great frequency. "Behold, this is your work, to keep my commandments, yea, with all your might, mind and strength" (D&C 11:20; emphasis added).
Thus, the Father's work is to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of His children. Our work is to keep His commandments with all of our might, mind, and strength—and we thereby become chosen and, through the Holy Ghost, receive and recognize the tender mercies of the Lord in our daily lives.
The very conference in which we are participating this weekend is yet another example of the Lord's tender mercies. We have been blessed to receive inspired counsel from the leaders of the Savior's Church—timely counsel for our day and for our circumstances and for our challenges. We have been instructed, lifted, edified, called to repentance, and strengthened. The spirit of this conference has fortified our faith and fueled our desire to repent, to obey, to improve, and to serve. Like you, I am eager to now act upon the reminders, counsel, and personal inspiration with which we have been blessed during this conference. And in just a few moments each of us will receive one of the Lord's tender mercies as we hear the concluding remarks and testimony of President Gordon B. Hinckley. Truly, "the Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works" (Psalm 145:9).
I am thankful for the Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ through the Prophet Joseph Smith and for the knowledge we have today about the Lord's tender mercies. Our desires, faithfulness, and obedience invite and help us to discern His mercies in our lives. As one of His servants, I declare my witness that Jesus is the Christ, our Redeemer and our Savior. I know that He lives and that His tender mercies are available to all of us. Each of us can have eyes to see clearly and ears to hear distinctly the tender mercies of the Lord as they strengthen and assist us in these latter days. May our hearts always be filled with gratitude for His abundant and tender mercies. In the sacred name of Jesus Christ, amen.

What I Don't Understand the Most
What I don't understand the most is the phrase:
'Do as I say and not as I do'
This phrase upsets me more than anything. How dare someone tell me to do something a certain way or to be a certain way but they don't do it. They are the exception to the rule. How dare they think they are better than us. This phrase will get me upset faster than almost anything else can. This is one thing on a short list of way to upset me almost instantly.
Another is kicking the bed to wake me up. Or touching / grabbing my feet to wake me up. I don't care who you are, I will wake up and start yelling at you instantly if you do either of these things to me. I will likely apologize afterwards because I feel bad about yelling like.
I understand that I need to 'get over it' but it is easier said than done. There is only so much self improvement you can work on at a time. And yes, I have a lot to work on.

Things I don't Understand . . .
There are several things I don't understand or agree with.
1. An apartment manager & maintenace team who doesn't do there job, changes staff almost monthly and say one thing but do another.
2. A person who was born a woman then wanted to be seen as a man, had her breasts removed and took male hormones but then decided to have children. I really don't understand this at all. If you want to be seen as a man, why are you having babies like a woman.
3. Terorist who attack inocent people. Like the ones in India who attacked hotels, a cafe a hopsital and other places. Why would you attack a hopsital, why would you attack innocent people who can't defend themselves in anyway shape or form. That is a horrible, horrible thing to do. I know there is a special place for all of you. As for the innocent people who were killed, I know there is a special place in heaven for you.
4. The people attacking the LDS church in California and individuals who supported the band on same sex marriage. Those people attacking the LDS church are doing the thing they have been fighting against for years. They have become the people they have been fighting against for years. They have become biggots. LDS people are not the only ones in California who support that law, if they were it wouldn't have pasted. There are not enough of them in that state to past a law like that.
There are many things in this world I don't understand and never will. These are just a few that are bothing me right now. Things that are in the news and effect many people and some that just effect me.

Happy Thanksgiving
I hope everyone is spending time with loved ones and is having a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!
Legacy of an Adopted Child
Once there were Two Women
Who never knew each other.
One you do not remember
The other you call mother.
Two different lives
Shaped to make your’s one,
One became you guiding star,
The other became your sun.
The first gave you life,
And the second taught you to live it.
And the first gave you a need for love,
And the second was there to give it.
One gave you a nationality,
The other gave you a name.
One gave you a the seeds of talent,
The other gave you aim.
One gave you emotions,
The other calmed your fears.
One saw your first sweet smile,
The other dried your tears.
One gave you up;
It was all that she could do.
The other prayed for a child.
And God led her straight to you.
And now you ask me through your tears,
The age old question through the years.
Heredity or Environment, Which are you a product of?
Neither, my darling, Neither,
Just two different kinds of love.

Manners
Whatever happened to manners?
Whatever happened to common courtesy?
Whatever happened to Gentlemen and/or Ladies?
Whatever happened to standing up when a woman leaves the table?
Whatever happened to man asking a woman out on a date?
Whatever happened to respect both of one's self and of others?
Whatever happened to being polite?
Whatever happened to calling a person back when they leave a message?
Whatever happened to writing a letter, calling people or contacting people just to say hi?
What is happening to groups like the Girl Scouts and the Boy Scouts who teach young people how to be better people?
What ever happened to going to some one's home and playing board games (just games in general with each)?
Whatever happened to people getting together to just spend time with each other (and not getting anything out of it but a good time)?
What is happening to all of the Masonic Family Fraternities?
No one wants to help others anymore. Everyone is demanding and excepting help from everyone else. No one anymore wants to give up time, money or possessions to help others anymore. There use to be a lot of charitable groups but they are all hurting for people, for support.
I understand that economy isn't doing well right now. I don't have a job and I do work here and there to try and make ends meet but ends are not meeting. I am getting deeper and deeper in debt just trying to survive. I don't have money but I do give time and anything else I can. If I own something that can help someone else out I give it to them or let them borrow it. I do whatever I can to help others. I'm not trying to toot my own horn, I just want people to know I'm not saying this to say it but I do it too (or at least I try).
Manners is really important now a days. It shows other respect, confidence and that you are educated. It shows that you are not a neanderthal but evolved. I wish more people knew manners and acted upon them. I think we all would be a happier society if we used manners.

Lately . . .
Lately I have been feeling real down on myself and real alone. I don't know why. I do know that the holidays are getting harder and harder on me every year. All I want to do is sleep and stay in bed all day and all night.
I am still trying to find a job, I am online on several sites almost all day long. I also check out job fairs and the Sunday newspaper. I am also going through everything I own and getting rid of as much as I can. Things I don't want to let go of but I really have no choice at this time. I need to cut down and save money.
I feel like an a&* and all alone. I know I have family and friends who care about me and love me but I don't know how to explain how I feel. I would really like to have someone to spend my life with. To share my dreams, traditions and life with. Someone to listen to me when I have something to say.

I Have Never . . .
I have never jumped off a cliff
I have never understood why people turn their car stereo bass so low that it sets off car alarms and wake people up.
I have never called number a from a phone bill to see who it is. I use google and anywho.com, if it's not on there, its not worth my time.
I have been unemployed for the longest time in my life for at least the last 10 years or so.
When I say unemployed, I mean a steady paying job with heath insurance and so forth. I do have an unsteady job of house sitting. I also have a unsteady job making things for people, clothes, crafts, center pieces, cakes, alterations, candles, etc.
I have never truly been in love with someone. Thought I was once but I was wrong.
I have destroyed someone else's home
I have never had a Valentine
I have never been in a relationship during the holidays
I have never been in a relationship during my birthday (there birthday yes)
I have never smoked anything
I have never had children, been a mother
I have never been married
I have never been outside of the US
I have never received flowers from anyone who wasn't family
I have never riden a train (except for around the park)
I have never gone to the movies alone
I have never had a New Year's Kiss
I have never done many things and I will never do many things in my life. We can't do everything we want, we can't have everything we want. We have to learn to be happy with what we do have, with what we make of ourselves. Nothing more, nothing less.

Events this Week
This week I have a lot to do. On Saturday is 2 major events. On Saturday morning is my Eastern Star Chapter's Annual event Breakfast Bizarre. It is a breakfast and a bizarre. We sell baked goods (cookies, breads, brownies, fudge, etc), we also sell home made items. Yes we have some people who think is a garage sale but them items sold are suppose to be hand made. Not stuff you find at the bottom of the closet you are cleaning out.
This year our breakfast bizarre is Saturday November 15th, 2008. It is at the Mount Mariah Lodge off Greenway & Boulder Highway, next to the Black Mount Golf Course. It is from 9 AM - Noon. It is also $8.00 plus whatever you want to get from the bizarre.
The other event is Saturday November 15th, 2008. It is at Vegas 32 Lodge off Charleston & Las Vegas Blvd. It is the Job's Daughter's Installation. The Honored Queen is going to be Heather Stonebarger. They will have a dinner at 5 PM and the Installation I believe starts at 6:30 PM.
Heather just became a member a of my Eastern Star Chapter. She is asked all the Eastern Star people to bring a dessert. I'm thinking Chocolate Rice Krispe treats. But I still have to do some cookies for the bizarre. So far this week, I have been helping my Grandmother, Becky Stonebarger & Heather Stonebarger make 20 or so dolls. They are 2 sided. I made the patterns for the dolls and doll clothes a few weeks ago.
This week we have doing all the hand stitching this week. Attaching the dresses for both sides of the doll. The cording for the dolls. Attaching snowflakes to the dolls. Making crowns, etc and attaching them to the dolls. My fingers are sore.
Then I have a friend visiting for a little while on his way moving to Wyoming. So I had to do a lot of cleaning. Specially after my former roommate. I still have to find a new roommate and a job. I don't know how I am going to make ends meet. I am still cleaning and going through everything I own and trying to get everything I own down sized.
Stress, stress and more stress, ugg. I don't like stress. I have issues with sleeping as it is.

Changes
I died my hair yesterday strawberry blonde. Then I added highlights for red heads. I think it came out pretty good. I will take a picture soon and post it. It is more blonde looking than red head looking.
See you all real soon.
See you all real soon.
Church Today
So I went to a Singles Ward today for 18 - 30 year old. Yes, I know I am too old for it but I had a friend who has been trying to get me to go to church. I have been to the wards Family Home Evening a few times so I thought I would try to church on Sunday.
I don't know if I will go back, for the most part the people are nice. But I do often feel old there. My friend wants me to join the ward but I told him I doubt they will allow me to do so. Besides my ages there is my place of residence. I live in Henderson and the ward is in Las Vegas.
The story of the day. I was in sacrament meeting, minding my own business. This guy behind me had been sniffling the whole time he was sitting behind me. So during the middle of the talks song, I handed this guy behind me a tissue. He then said I was rude. I turned around and said excuse me did you just say I was rude. He said yes. I said you were sniffling, so I gave you a tissue. He said but it isn't running. I replied well I don't have eyes behind my head. You were sniffling so I gave you a tissue. Then the guy next to me, said, excuse him, he has no people skills. Thank you for the tissue you gave him.
I turned around. Later during the closing song, he blew his nose (in the chapel) and leaned forward and said Thank you. I told him he was welcome. Later after sacrament meeting, I was standing there in the wall waiting for a friend to come out of a office. The same rude guy came up to me with his arms open and said sister you are good and I am bad and something else I don't remember. I said told him he was welcomed and walked away as fast as I could. All I could think was what an a*&. I couldn't believe how incredibly rude he was and what an a*( he was afterwards.
But I need to talk a deep breath, remember I am a good woman, I need to be patient and that it takes all kinds of people to make the world go round.

FYI Men
To all those men who are trying to ride this ride.
You can't have this milk for free with out buying the cow first.
If you don't know what the means, then you really can't get near me.
If you are in any kind of a commitment, marriage, significant other of any form, girlfriend, whatever, you can't get near me.
I'm not into friends with benefit relationships, so keep on moving on and find someone else.
Any questions?

The Last Job Interview
So I got a letter in the mail today from the company I interview with last week. They liked my resume, etc but chose not to go with me. I had my Grandmother open it and read it to me.
So, I need everyone's help that I will find a descent paying permanent full-time job real soon, and a roommate to help with the bills. By help I mean, pray for me, keep your fingers crossed for me. Whatever you believe in, keep me in mind. Also, if you know of a job lead that I can do, let me know so I can look into it and apply.
Thank you and I love you all.

Dreams 2
I am still having lots of crazy dreams all the time. Right now many of them are like movies. I'm not really have the real life ones. They are also both good and bad dreams. I wish I was better with the English language and was a better writer. Then I could write lots of books with my dreams. I think others would find them entertaining and I would like to share them with others.
