I think I found Kolob

This is the first picture so just scroll down from here. If you are having difficulty reading the little type in the pics just click on the picture and it will enlarge it for you.

I've never really thought about the relative size of the planets before so its very elightening to see them presented this way.

Earth is the size of a period here.

Jupiter is about 1 pixel size here and earth is invisible at this point. But wait....it gets even better...

Arcturus from the previous picture is the one next to Rigel in this picture. Could Antares be Kolob? I know it would seem impossible for God to exist on a giant sun, so I at first thought Rigel being all white would be a more likely assumption, but just think about when Joseph saw Him and His Son...They were brighter than the noon-day sun. And remember our talk of the speed if light and such, Jess?
Antares is the 15th brightest star in the sky for us on earth. It is more than a thousand light years away. Interesting, don't you think, that a thousand years for us is one day to God?!
Now go read the explanation for Facsimile No. 2 from the Book of Abraham in the Pearl of Great Price.

I may be way off, but I'm sure it's all set up like this somehow.

Christmas Crazies

As you may have noticed, Kim and I have not been blogging a whole lot lately. In fact, I don't think Kim even has her computer hooked up at the moment. Kim just got new wood flooring! Yay! But her house is completely torn apart still. My mom just told me last night that the shiny, new floors inspired Royce so much he tore down all the kitchen cabinets to redo those. So now Kim has twice the mess she was hoping for this Christmas.

I can sympathize. Two Christmases ago, my Christmas present from Andy was his promise to me that he would redo our cabinets in black. Well, two years later he thought he better get it done before another Christmas comes and goes. So yes, we are in the midst of a torn apart kitchen. My snowman collection in the kitchen window look like they've just been through a storm of saw dust, either that or they're covered in that questionable "yellow" snow.

Like Kim, I'm pretty sure I wasn't planning on decking the halls with drop cloths this season. I remember right before we started this project that I had just barely dressed the house up in it's Christmas best and was just settling down for a long winter's state of pure contentment. But no, now I have an episode of Home Improvement being acted out every night in my kitchen on top of the Christmas Crazies which I always promise myself I will never have again the next time Christmas rolls around. "Next year I'm going to have everything done by Dec. 1st!" Yeah, right...

p.s. I believe Jess is also painting cabinets right now too. We are truly insane.

Here it is...my official mottoIf I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world."
