"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.

I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.

I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children.

I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.

I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.

I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Primary

Maddie loves to go to Sunbeams at my moms ward. She tells us that she LOVES her teacher because she is "so nice and kind." Well hopefully her teacher feels the same. I guess (heard through the grape vine) that a few weeks ago the teacher was giving her lesson. She held up the number 7 on her hands but used the thumb and pointer for the 2. Maddie piped up and said, "if you take those away (the 5 fingers) it makes LOSER," and she put the L on her forehead. I'm so proud of what she is teaching her class. On the same Sunday she made sure to inform everyone that "Justin Beaver is a star and he is really hot."

Well, yesterday, in sharing time they asked the question, "does anyone know who the 70 are?" Maddie raised her hand, was called on and said, "it's all the really old guys." I'm teaching her so well ha ha.
