Two years ago Diane presented us with her painting of The Tree of Life. It tends to grow on me, and I have actually become quite enamored with it. 
It really made a wonderful Christmas gift. I have shown a picture of it with this blog because the lesson I teach next Sunday in Gospel Doctrine class is titled The Vision of the Tree of Life. Right now it is my plan to take the picture with me to class as a visual aid as I talk about the symbolic meanings of the tree, the great and spacious building, the rod of iron, the filthy river and other things that may come to mind. The concepts for the lesson are wonderful. I hope I can present them in a worthy way.

I can tell the amount of daylight is increasing. You can tell that I am ready for spring. Tomorrow we are talking of going to the swimming pool in Tooele for exercise and general well being.
Friday morning we had nearly two inches of snow. Before I was hardly up and about, my good neighbor had come by and pushed the snow from the driveway with his ATV and blade. Clarine makes for him whole wheat bread which he says that he enjoys immensely. The exercise of pushing the snow myself would likely be good for me, but, ALAS! he gets there before I do. gwh
