When my son, Tyler, called to tell me the news about the American Fork band bus crash, and that one of the instructors was killed, I could hardly register it because this only happens to people I don’t know and that I hear about on the news. Tyler wanted to know if I was glad he wasn’t in the band any longer because he would have been on that bus, the “woodwind” bus. I was so relieved when he told me that all his neighborhood band friends were okay, and that he wasn’t on that bus.

Sunday at church, there was a heightened feeling of gratitude for Heather Christensen’s quick response to grab the wheel of the bus most likely saving many lives at the cost of her own life.

I have lived in Utah for 21 years, and I have never heard of the spiral jetty. It wasn’t a fellow Utahan that told me about it either…… it was my nephew from Idaho. Who would have thought an artist in the 70’s would have built a spiral shaped road in to the Great Salt Lake?! Weird!
