Science of Faith

Today I sat thinking about the invented dichotomy of Faith and science. I say invented because I think that problem solving is so decided to lead to a dicotomy.
Science and religion are two sides of the same coin that some refuse are similar. Science journals stem from Faith in principles or laws. The Faith is excersized upon by experimentation to find more principles and laws. People read and apply things that are read in published journals to find their own Faith in those principles. With all knowledge it takes exercising faith.
On the other hand many people take scientific journals or scriptures as fact without exercising faith. Just like repeating a experiment to verify a result, gospel principles can be practiced to gain a personal knowledge of that principle.

Positive Experience

I remember listening to my sister relate many of her fun and funny experiences. She was the first in our family to start a family. It gave me a sense that families can be a source of great happiness.
Today is a great day. Not necessarily because of the weather (It is nice weather though). Last night our children asked if we could set up the family tent in the basement to prepare for church conference.
