Well this is what I have been doing. Studying for my Certification! Every two years I have to renew it, keep me up to date. Even though I am not doing anything with it right now, I hope that soon I will be able to do more. I just don't want to lose it and start all over again. I have about four test to take and I have about two done. One I had to send in, so I won't know if I passed that for another two weeks. It was on Nutrition. Complicated, I will tell you. Some of it over my head.

I have also been working at the store quite a lot. I hope to be able to stop that when Buck takes it over for his dad.

Also, I just wanted to say something about the outcome of the election. I haven't said anything of recent because I am very opinionated and have very strong views. I had to hold back my emotions because I knew that I may hurt some friends because of it. I may not agree or understand why. But I do know that I need to be respectful of others, even though I may not agree or like what they have to say. And it goes for everyone. We are all not going to agree on everything. But one thing I do know is that we agree on the gospel of Jesus Christ and that is the most important. We need to remember who is really in control of the destiny of this beautiful country. Our heavenly father has a plan and it is set in motion. What all these candidates say or do will not matter in the long run. We need to stop the judgements and put hurt feelings aside and be here for one another.

I am glad that you got your testing over with. It is great that you are keeping up your certification because someday you will use it again. I hope you will be able to work less soon, I have been thinking of you. And I hope you know how much I love and respect you.

I wish I could be as generous as you, dear daughter. I had a very difficult time sitting in church yesterday - I actually cried because I could not believe that members of our church would actually vote for people who are so opposite of those values & morals we fight to uphold. I just don't understand how people can choose candidates who support abortion, etc. Not to mention how frustrating it is that we're struggling to put your sister through college and yet we're paying for "poor" people to go. I'm just stunned. I tried to feel as you do - that it all doesn't matter in the end, but if we don't stand for the right, we're just being rolled over by the wicked.
