Black Bear

This “little” black bear is about 100 lbs or so and probably has about another summer before he’s out on his own. He was eating berries in a tree. After a couple of minutes or so, he climbed down to watch me curiously as I took photos. I didn’t see Mama Bear around anywhere but there was plenty of evidence on the ground that she was close by. I quietly took my photos and then I went back down the trail before his Mom came home.

Good vs Evil

Good and evil are real and constantly at war. If you take a look around it seems that dark people and ideas are pervasive in their attack against all that is good and pure. Though we must have the courage to stand against these evils we need not fear, because where there is light darkness cannot exist.

"23 And that which doth no edify is not of God, and is darkness.

24 That which is of God is light; and he that receiveth light, and continueth in God, receiveth more light; and that light groweth brighter and brighter until the perfect day.

25 And again, verily I say unto you, and I say it that you may know the truth, that you may chase darkness from among you; (D&C50:23-25)."

Stand up for what is true and right and do not be afraid of the dark. As soon as you bring light to bear on the subject the darkness is banished and the light grows. Dark can never win. God is almighty and will win in the end, will we be with him?

Spider Monkey Day Dream: The Grass is Greener on the Other Side.

Have you ever wanted something you couldn't have. At some point this occurs to the best of us.We all have our day dreams in which we are rich or famous. We all have our moments in which we think, if only. But don't let dreaming of what might be make you miss out on what could have been if you had lived today. Dreams can either focus our lives and give us drive, or they can destroy us in a foul mood of ill contentment. Let your dreams be a driving force for good. Don't covet what is not yours, rather find a way to become what you dream off and no fence can ever hold you back. Don't sit at the base of the fence like this spider monkey with a dumb look on your face, but get to work and hatch the plan that will allow you to get over the fence, because when you get there by yourself, rather than having it given to you, you will find the grass greener on the other side.
