When Beth and I first made contact, it was with the idea of talking about cartoons with another adult, but we spent so much time talking about religion and the gathering of Israel, that we hardly thought about cartoons. As it happened, the topics were connected in my view. Just weeks before, I had gone to see Disney's Altlantis: The Lost Empire. The idea that the Earth holds great secrets that could change the world and that it was up to the idealistic, unappreciated few to discover it filled me with excitement. In fact it overwhelemd me with enthusiasm. I sat in the theater thinking to myself that the reality is far more fantastic than the fantasy. I had adopted the motto, "There is no treasure but living treasure," and the earth is full of living treasure! The villians in the movie were those who valued nonliving treasure over living treasure. In that story, even the non-living treasure was very much alive. Some of us feel the treasure calling us. I see treasure everywhere. Living Treasure is God's treasure, and He gives it life and protects it. Look around; you'll see it's true and plentiful. I love Living Treasure!

Happy Beginnings
The anniversary of the day Michael and I met is soon at hand. It seems so appropriate that we are soon to be sealed as well. It has felt in many ways like the wait has been forever. At the same time I can't believe that it has been seven years since we met and almost seven since we married.
I have given myself the impossible task of making a dress for the sealing. I fear it may turn out like many of my other projects and it will only serve to bring out my insanity and thus Michael's.
I'm trying to be good. Right now the anticipation has me overwhelmed all by itself. I have enjoyed being married to Mic and look forward to making that bond eternal.
The sealing ordinance also seals me to the Shelton family. This thought almost fills my heart to bursting.
Michael and I are going to try and take this week to more fully prepare for the sacred experiences we hope to have by more fully shutting the world out of our lives.
For those of you who may be coming to the sealing it will be in sealing room 5 off of the Celestial room at 2:00pm. Michael and I will be doing a session earlier in the day. Please bring whites if you are coming.
We hope that we will soon be writing about this beautiful and sacred experience.
