Joyous Tomorrows

Below is a letter I wrote to my US Senator John Cornyn. I should have re-read it better, as there are some grammatical errors. I feel I need to speak up and if there are those who have not seen or heard then maybe they will begin to see. As things are unfolding in our country , we must look at true principles taught to us by the Lord and our clerical leaders. The land should be used for the sustenance of the people using it.

It is all about helping linking families together and finding joy in our ancestors and posterity. I love family history and I am excited I have started, hence New Year, my training to assist others in their endeavors. So you can see now what I mean by "This is the great beginnings of a New Year.!

I testify to you that God's hand has been in our Destiny. I testify that freedom as we know it today is being threatened as never before in our history. I further witness that this land ...the Americas... must be protected. Its Constitution upheld. For this is a land foreordained to be the Zion of our God. He expects us as members of the Church and bearers of his Priesthood to do all we can to preserve our Liberty" Pres. Ezra Taft Benson When I started researching my family history and discovered I had an American Revolutionary Soldier in my mother's line, a Benanuel Bonfoey . He was among those who suffered through the winter at Valley Forge. How wonderful to hear his personal testimony given about the character of General George Washington. In the book ' Commemorative Biographical Record', it is recorded that Benanuel "referred with pride to the fact of Gen. Washington's concern for and care of his men, and that he was like a father to the s...
