He Loves Me (Painting)
From the Artist: "This painting is about the Savior's love for a child. Children are innocent and pure. Each child in this painting has an expression which I believe shows their acknowledgement that He loves them. Of course, Jesus loves all children regardless of race or color, but these are my children in this painting and that makes it special to me."

Old Schoolhouse (Painting)
From the Artist: "My mother taught first grade for many years. She would always ask me, "When are you going to paint an old schoolhouse?" After a visit down to southern Utah to the old town of Grafton, I saw an old schoolhouse which inspired this painting. I wanted this old school to look like every old pioneer schoolhouse which ever was. The school teacher stands on the front steps as her students play. I believe when children are playing they are also learning. But soon the it will be time to come inside for some book learning. How many children are in her class? Without counting the woman on the path, can you find thirteen children?"

The Real George Washington The True Story Of America's Most Indispensable Man (Book)
From the back cover: Why, after two centuries, does George Washington remain one of the most beloved figures in our history? The Real George Washington answers that question by giving us a close look at this man who became the "father of our country" and the first American President.

Part two of the book brings together the most important and insightful passages from Washington's writings, conveniently arranged in alphabetical order by subject matter.
