Published almost...

Well, two years ago this July I was so excited to received notification that my article I submitted to our church magazine was going to be published AND they paid me $100 for it. I waited and waited and waited to see it in print BUT nothing happened. Then this past month my Bishop congratulated me on my article to be printed in the Ensign. The staff had called him to make sure I was a member of the Church. Well, this month I am in the ENSIGN magazine. But only my name is in an article written by someone else on the uses of the Internet. How disappointing and how FUNNY because they also refer to me as a HE not a SHE. LOL!

Here's the exact quote...from p. 14-One member, Lin Floyd of Utah, USA, created a family history Web site with ancestors’ photos and histories. His Web site and others like it have helped people learn more about the Church and its doctrine. That's it for my 5 seconds of glory, but I did cash the check for $100! Check out my family history website-it only took me 10+ years to complete it with my ancestor's photos and histories.
