It is finally here, hot, steamy, hair frizzing, weather. I really love the summer season until about the end of August when it hits the century mark everyday. We ate our first watermelon last week, Yum!!! We have been to the pool several times and I am a lovely golden color, Yeah. My brother and sis-n-law bought a boat last month and so we will be cruisin' to the lake a few times this summer, too. The kids start swim lessons in a couple of weeks. It just feels like summer is headed in the right direction!!
I have recently been reading the conference talks from the Ensign and they are just so wonderful. I did not get to listen to all of conference so reading it gives me a chance to bond it to memory.

What kind of experience are you having?
Life, well, has been crazy. I am running around and getting lots done. I am happy to see that I have accomplished so much. But as I look to the way side I see the lost moments of bonding with my husband, playing with my children, just keeping the house in an organized manner or tending to my spiritual needs.
I was watching a religious program on TV. It was put on by a local church but not the LDS church. I spent time listening while I folded laundry. It was great. I really enjoyed hearing the women share their testimonies of Christ. They were firm in their beliefs of Our Savior. It really was a blessing to my spirit. They spent some of the time sharing that we need to be still and listen to the spirit. This was just an echo of what our prophet has stated in recent years. They ladies then discussed life and how we perceive it. As they continued my mind was drawn back to a quote "We are not earthly beings having a spiritual experience. We are SPIRITUAL beings having an earthly experience." Yes,I know that is not exactly right but you have heard something similar. I realized that lately I have been living the earthly experience seeking for that spiritual experience. It really has been an awakening for me. I am not sure exactly what I am going to do to make the change but I am sure enlightenment is the first step. So I ask, what kind of experience are you having?
