Some believe that dancing around like the Indians, in wish for rain will bring rain…
These boys:
Saw this guy dance:
Heard my story of how when I was their age, I once danced around on my trampoline and pretended I was doing a rain dance like an Indian. An hour later it rained for me. So they gave it a try:
And wouldn’t you know it. An hour later it rained for them too! ( no joke ) 
What do you believe? Any strange / cool things happen to you like that?

This video and the quotes below I came across today and just had to share. They moved me to a greater degree than anytime I have ever read them before or heard the same message before. Most likely because I feel like an entirely new person these days. Happier, more full of life and just excited about life. I feel like I’m beaming, and I know this is the Spirit. God has healed me and healed my life, and I feel closer to Heaven each day. I LOVE it!
Remember who you are, and where you come from and where you’re going. Remember that God loved you first and you’re His child. That makes you special.
“I come to you tonight with a plea that we stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight. I am suggesting that as we go through life we try to ‘accentuate the positive.’ I am asking that we look a little deeper for the good, that we still our voices of insult and sarcasm, that we more generously compliment virtue and effort. Now I am not asking that all criticism be silenced. Growth comes of correction. Strength comes of repentance. Wise is the man or woman who can acknowledge mistakes pointed out by others and change his or her course.”What I am suggesting is that you turn from the negativism that so permeates our modern society and look for the remarkable good among those with whom you associate, that we speak of one another’s virtues more than we speak of one another’s faults, that optimism replace pessimism, that our faith exceed our fears. When I was a young man and was prone to speak critically, my wise father would say: ‘Cynics do not contribute. Skeptics do not create. Doubters do not achieve.’”
["Be Not Afraid, Only Believe," CES Fireside for Young Adults, Sept. 9, 2001]
”I do not believe in any kind of tyranny. I believe in long-suffering, in mercy, in kindness, in gentleness, and in the love and fear of God. I do not believe that the Priesthood was given to man to exercise dominion and authority over the souls of other men. Everything ought to be done with kindness and long-suffering, yet with fidelity to God.” [Teachings of Presidents of the Church: John Taylor (2001), 136]
“Our motives and thoughts ultimately influence our actions. Jesus repeatedly emphasized the power of good thoughts and proper motives: ‘Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not’ (D&C 6:36). “In Proverbs we read, ‘For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he’ (Proverbs 23:7).”
“Should there be anyone who feels he is too weak to do better because of that greatest of fears, the fear of failure, there is no more comforting assurance to be had than the words of the Lord: ‘My grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them’ (Ether 12:27).”

Hero does this every time he sees Clark come into the room to talk to me. He just wants to be part of the conversation I suppose. We think it’s pretty cute because he’ll meow and meow until we look at him. He’s a good boy and stays at the very edge of the door. He knows he’s not allowed to waltz in – unlike Tiny who comes as far as the edge of my desk. She likes to push her limits.
