Nauvoo

Randy and I were in Nauvoo last week with a CES workshop. (No, it didn't snow - this is a postcard.) We also spent some time in Missouri and Iowa on the Mormon trail. I came away from the experience with a greater sense of how tied we are with those who have gone before us. Their decisions impacted out lives. We are where and who we are in large part because of the things they did and the places they went. Even insiginifcant daily events can make changes for those around us generations removed. (Eg. Thomas Marsh and a pint of cream).

It makes you wonder about all the ripples in the pond and how far reaching they are. It's made me think about the impact my daily decisions might have on those yet unborn.
