| I left San Antonio this morning to spend a week at an anesthesia conference in Jackson Hole, WY. This has got to be one of my most favorite places on the planet. I had to leave this morning at 4 and did not arrive in Jackson until after 1 so there was no opportunity to attend any Sunday meetings. I got in my rental car and drove to Grand Teton National Park about 15 minutes up the road. There is a fire in a neighboring town and so the air has been filled with smoke so I was unable to see the mountains well until I was pretty close. |

| You can see the smoke in the air in this photo. |
 |
| The leaves were changing and the colors where vibrant. |
 |
| I took a walk down one of the many trails to enjoy nature and the scenery. |
 |
| The landscapes are absolutely awe inspiring. |
 |
| I came across a family of deer out for a leisurely Sunday afternoon stroll. |
 |
| Perfect! |
 |
| I sat down on a rock at the side of the trail and just started to ponder upon life and God and His long-suffering patience with His imperfect children. My attention was drawn to this little tree. Beautiful and full and green it is the picture of life and vitality. As you look at it you cannot help but look up as its shape moves your eyes upward to the heavens. All of God's creations are a reflection of Him including us as imperfect as we are. We are created after the image of God and it is He that made the mountains. It is important to remember that we are spirit beings having a mortal experience. Love life enjoy this time and remember to look up to Heaven. |

Beautiful and true thoughts, Brett. Thanks for sharing! We miss you all!
Neat thoughts brother Rush. Reminds me of a talk in General Conference about President Monson's counsel to one of the General Authorities in the elevator to "look up". Thanks for the inspiring thoughts.
