Hope of America

I was so touched by Lauren's Hope of America performance with her elementary school.  It was held at the Marriott Center at BYU.  It could not have come at a better time in light of the tragedy in Boston.  We started the program with an opening prayer and then recited the pledge of allegiance, including the words "once nation under God".  I got teary eyed as we sang the National Anthem.   I'm so grateful for the country that we live in and this state that is not constantly trying to take God out of schools.  These kids truly are the hope of America.

I loved the look on everyone's faces while they watched the performance.

 Lauren wanted to go to Denny's after the performance.  It was a feel good night!
