Amie's Team

B.Y.U. Women’s Rugby Team

Will Forfeit if It Reaches Sunday Game

Read the NY Times article by clicking HERE.

Amie said, "I'm glad people are noticing. It was a huge blow to the team.
We want people to know our standards! This is the kind of game that would be so tempting to break the standards for, but that's not what we stand for. I'm grateful for the good example all my team members set and that I could be part of such a wonderful team. I'm so proud of them!"

The Latest

Well, it's been a long time since I've updated my blog. Our family has sinced moved from Hong Kong to Draper, Utah. Here is some of the latest news:
  • I am working at a Title 1 school in Sandy, Utah as a reading tutor four days a week. I love the job and feel I am really helping the children as I use the University of Utah's proven intervention program, "Next Steps."
  • I have begun taking baby steps to become a FLY lady, taking a "no-nonsense approach to getting my house and my life in order!"
  • I have a darling doggy! Her name is Pepsi and she is a little, black dappled dachshund. She is a joy and a challenge. Pepsi is currently enrolled in a beginning obedience class at Willow Creek Pet Center. Last week I got her to successfully lie down listening only to my commands with no hand signals!
  • I am interested in Clean Eating and have begun to make some important changes in my eating habits. I love eating this way and am excited to try new recipes and dishes.
  • John is working back east and I miss him terribly. We spent a lovely Valentine's weekend together and he'll visit the family in Utah in March.
  • I really miss my friends in Hong Kong and overseas living, but I'm enjoying being near family and experiencing every day American life! Especially the easy shopping at Costco!

Do You Have Room?

Jesus is Better than Santa!

Jesus is Better than Santa
Santa lives at the North Pole.
JESUS is everywhere.
Santa rides in a sleigh
JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.
Santa comes but once a year
JESUS is an ever present help.
Santa fills your stockings with goodies
JESUS supplies all your needs.
Santa comes down your chimney uninvited
JESUS stands at your door and knocks.. and then enters your heart.
You have to stand in line to see Santa
JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.
Santa lets you sit on his lap
JESUS lets you rest in His arms.
Santa doesn't know your name,
all he can say is "Hi little boy or girl, What's your name?"
JESUS knew our name before we did.
Not only does He know our name, He knows our address too.
He knows our history and future and
He even knows how many hairs are on our heads.
Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly
JESUS has a heart full of love.
All Santa can offer is HO HO HO
JESUS offers health, help and hope.
Santa says "You better not cry"
JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me for I care for you.
Santa's little helpers make toys
JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts,
repairs broken homes and builds mansions.
Santa may make you chuckle but
JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.
While Santa puts gifts under your tree
JESUS became our gift and died on the tree.
It's obvious there is really no comparison.
We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about.
We need to put Christ back in Christmas.
Jesus is still the reason for the season.
