and so some things change...

Today I did my chapter in Wellsville a place I lived from age twelve to age seventeen. The tabernacle is a beautiful building and I have some happy memories there singing in choirs. I took the kids with me but they played in the park. Leaves were falling from the trees and the sun was shining brightly. A little girl ran for the leaves with her grandpa. It was a very special event to behold. I wish I had started this some years ago when the purple church was still around, for it was in that church were I had my first real witness of the truthfulness of the Gospel. It's clear as day to me now. I was walking in late to a meeting and I heard the young woman singing "If we hold on together" from the Land Before Time movie. A fire burned within my hole being and I knew at that moment I belonged to the true church of Jesus Christ.
