What Happens When "Bishop" Berry Isn't The One Driving!

Jess Berry Quote of The Day!

I do not wish to treat friendships daintily, but with roughest courage. When they are real, they are not glass threads or frostwork, but the solidest thing we know.

Jess Berry Quote of The Day!

We are strangers here. Of course we feel lonely. Not even the closest of friends can erase that feeling, for it is natural. I have been told by those that would know that even the closest marriage relationship does not completely erase the feeling of loneliness. It is a necessary part of our experience on earth – for it leads us to the plea found in the final verse of Eliza R. Snow’s lyrics to “O My Father”:

When I leave this frail existence

When I lay this mortal by

Father, Mother, may I meet you

In your royal courts on high?

That is our desire. Until that time, our job is to do the best we can. If you feel lonely, know that those around you do as well. The best thing we can do about it is to close the gap that is causing our greatest loneliness – our separation from God. We do that not only by keeping the commandments, but by acting as He and His Son, Jesus Christ, would act – by serving others. Reach out to all around you, who need your help and love at least as much as you need theirs. If they don’t respond, reach out again.

In so doing, we express the final thought of “O My Father”: “Let me come and dwell with you.”

The April Luau!

Happy Luau AR! Getting together to celebrate ARRRRR is no small affair. The limbo, the Tiki glasses, the steak, the grilled pineapple, the Hula shirts and Hula dancing (sort of), and of course a cameo appearance by CP.
The Birthday cake! Delicious frosting!
Mikey gave AR a grill, which we ALL are excited about! AR showing off his grilling abilities.
The Hula dancers themselves. Aren't they pretty!?!
Customized Tiki glasses for all!
SJ and CP (yes he really did make that appearance).
The Luau setting...Mikey planted those flowers six months ago just for the event.......(kidding)
The Woman "manning" the grill for the evening. When I say we ALL are excited about AR's new gift the ALL really means me. ;) We Berrys know our grilling. I am willing to hire out and make your grilling dreams come true. References available upon request.
