Stone Tablets

I took this picture this morning at Gilgal Garden.

Gilgal Garden is a park in Salt Lake City that features statues and stone carvings by Thomas B. Child. The one featured above is of a sphinx with the head of Joseph Smith, Jr. There are other scriptural statues and stones engraved with scripture references. It gets you thinking how different people view their religion and how they choose to express it. I haven't completely decided what I think of it all.

A sphinx with the head of Joseph Smith, Jr?

Somebody will have to explain that one to me.

Where is this garden of which you speak? I've never even heard of it. Oh, and will you email me who dies in the latest Harry Potter book? I've never read any of them but I know a little about it and am just curious who it was. Thanks, Babe.

Bliss, you're friends with Froggy and you've never heard of Gilgal?! Amazing. Way back when, we were always plotting a trip there, just never made it.
