1. If you could speak with Christ, what would you ask Him? A: If I'm on the right track (in every aspect of my life). 2. Do you have any glimpses of the spiritual world? A: Every time I spend some time watching my kids. But no awesome stories like yours! That was very special.

1. What do you do to get out of a rut when you find yourself feeling "stuck"? A: Pray. Read scriptures. When I'm in a rut it's usually because I'm not growing spiritually. 2. What is your greatest accomplishment? A: Ditto! My kids!!! My kids are beautiful, smart, curious about spiritual things and well mannered (most of the time). I think that's an awesome accomplishment and I can't think of anything I'm prouder of! 3. What is the one thing in your life you regret the most? A: Something that I did when I was young that I had to do some serious repenting of. I don't talk about it though, as it's in the past and I've definetally learned from it.

Hi Tracey What an awesome experience with your Father. While on my mission I was able to have my Fathers work done and during my mission I was given a blessing by my Mission Pres. and during that blessing he let me know my Dad had accepted the work done for him...my Mission Pres. didn't have a clue my Dad had passed away and I had his Temple work done for him..Heavenly Father is very kind. Tuesdays question 1. If you could speak with Christ, what would you ask Him? How can there be no beginning and no end?? That question puts me in a tailspin..haha I also am very much looking forward to understanding more of what the attonement means and how it works. 2. Do you have any glimpses of the spiritual world? Not really glimpses but certainly hopes...I don't understand all that it means to be able to be with my hubby for all eternity but I know its true if we live worthy of it. Kind of goes back to the no beginning no end thing...how can things not end..but hey I am so greatful they don't. Great questions Tracey Have a wonderful day everyone Alfie

1. If you could speak with Christ, what would you ask Him? 2. Do you have any glimpses of the spiritual world? Okay, my answer would be that I would ask Christ how my relationship with my children will continue into the eternities....will we be neighbors, family, friends.....I would like a clear picture of what our being sealed means. I am not a visionary, nor do I have memories of the preexistance....but after my father died he appeared to me in my sleep (I was VERY inactive) and told me he loved me and he was dressed in white clothes. I woke up (3am) and my 2 year old was sleeping next to me, and he chirps up and said, "Mommy, Papa just came and told me I'm a good boy! He said to be good for you." So that was my vision of my father, but in a dream. I don't make it more than what it was, but I don't make light of it either. Right after that I repented and have been active since. ( 15 years)

1. What do you do to get out of a rut when you find yourself feeling "stuck"? I usually think about how blessed I am, and compare my life to most of the world.....that 90% of the world would love my old run down home, that I have plenty of food, material possesions, etc.....I think having served my mission in Taiwan I saw alot of poverty and it changed my view of life. Reflecting on my children's good health (something NO money can buy) and my good marriage always gets me reved up to be happy and bright. 2. What is your greatest accomplishment? I think my greatest is having my three children, and I'm a good mother. I make mistakes of course, but I'm fairly even keeled and I stay firm on our values and my kids are very well behaved and good kids. 3. What is the one thing in your life you regret the most? I guess that would be allowing my wild side to rule my life for so many years. My Patriarichal blessing even mentions my wild spirit....and my need to test good and bad laws, even in the prexistance....(imagine!)....and even there I learned right from wrong by testing..... After my mission I totally left the church and just went wild.....I had a child out of wedlock (my eldest), made many mistakes, and really damaged my body and spirit. Now I'm fully active and keep a firm rule over my spirit, but deep down I still want a tatoo, drink some wine, go dancing on tables......but instead I stay home and read with my babies and be a good wife. My husband has made it very clear he will not put up with any nonsense in our marriage....and I respect that....and I have no intention of being a poor example to my kids. I have been through alot of church discipline, and I don't ever want to go through it again. It was very humbling. Now I'm temple worthy and plan to be good. but my spirit always wants to see how close to the edge I can go. she's a bad girl....

Topic: RE: Question of the Day- 9/11
Okay, I'm a bit late on answering this, but I'll go ahead anyway.... 1. Where were you when you learned about the 9/11 attacks? I was at work, just ending my night shift as a nurse. I went into my patients' room and she said "Look, a plane hit the twin tower..." and I sat with her and right then the second plane hit. We were just in shock. I ran to the phone and woke my husband Kevin up, and his first words were, "It's Osama" and I had no idea who he was talking about, but he was right. On the way home the news over the car radio just got worse, and worse and I finally had to pull over and was just sobbing in my car. I watched it all day, and I watched it all day this week too. Cried alot, and my son said, "Why do you watch this?" and I just couldn't explain it. It's so sad. 2. What did you do in response? (donated money, supplies, lit candles, etc.) I didn't do much but I prayed alot for the families left to mourn. I also became more politically educated, and I support our President's efforts. Our son served in Iraq, and he came home with the most beautiful stories of the people thanking him, and wanting to gift him with what little they had. He also had scarey stories of teens throwing bricks at him all the time....but most of the people were so grateful of our efforts, even if our media don't show it to us on this end. 3. Did/do you know anyone involved? I know of no one involved, but I have learned of many, many heros since that day. Tracey

Mondays question of the day 1. What do you do to get out of a rut when you find yourself feeling "stuck"? I don't really know. I am in a great rut now! I guess I probably find a new craft or art to get involved in. 2. What is your greatest accomplishment? My children! They are wonderful people in spite of me! lol. Seriously, they have all been married in the temple, are rightious and good parents. Wonderful productive citizens. I am very proud of them. Besides, I really like them. Not just love them but actually like them. 3. What is the one thing in your life you regret the most? That I was not active in the church and was not as rightious as I could have been. Therefore, by extension, was not as good a mother as I could have been. I made some seriously wrong choices when my children were younger. Good questions. Thanks for doing them. Grins, Kaye

1. What do you do to get out of a rut when you find yourself feeling "stuck"? 2. What is your greatest accomplishment? 3. What is the one thing in your life you regret the most? OK Here are my answers: 1. Usually spend money - too much money - to get out of the rut. If the rut is spending too much, boy am I in trouble. OOOOPS!!! 2. I think my 3 kids being as wonderful as they are is my greatest accomplishment 3. My biggest regret is never learning how to cook - I try as an adult but lets just say sometimes our dog wont even eat my attempts at cooking!

I know, I know. . . sorry. I missed Gordon, too. I was looking at most of the postings while my kids were climbing on me so I missed some more people I'm sure. Thanks for calling me on it though!
