ShareThis video made me cry.  Of course, that’s not very hard to do, but it’s a great reminder from this precious little girl of how we need to be centered on Christ this Christmas season.  She’s really a cute little girl, too.  Just watch it.  You’ll understand what I mean.

ShareWe are commanded to keep the Sabbath day holy, but The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints will never give an all inclusive list of what that means.   We are given a bit of direction, such as rest from your labors and don’t go to the store on Sundays.  The rest is up to us to work out by personal revelation.  We should study it out in our minds and ask whether we are on the...

ShareThis week, I was asked to give a lesson in Relief Society, which is the group of women in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints who dedicate their lives to serving with charity.  Anyhow, the lesson was on receiving spiritual guidance.  I learned so much while I was preparing for the lesson, that I thought it would be a good thing to share here as well.  The lesson was taken from...

ShareThere has been a recent surge in the amount of people interested in doing genealogy, or finding their roots.  There are so many tools available that weren’t even around a few years back. For instance, the internet is more advanced than it used to be.  Not only are more and more people posting their family trees, there is now more interactive software that can instantly alert people...

ShareWhat kind of Mormon clothing is worn in the temple? Members of The Church of Jesus Christ wear their best clothing to go to the temples, as they do when they attend church on Sunday. Once inside, they exchange their clothing for white clothing of the temple. This is such a wonderful thing to see everyone dressed in white. It takes away all the differences in class that exist outside the...

ShareMy family dynamics have recently changed dramatically. My three sons have gone to live with their father. This was a very difficult time in my life. I had anticipated that it would be very hard to see them leave, but I had no idea what depths of grief I would experience. My heart aches and longs for them, but I know that they want to live there and I don’t want to stand in their...

ShareThis past week, I have had several miraculous events in my life.  I’m sure there are some that I’ve missed and not recognized, but there are a couple that have been very obvious and I need to recognize God’s hand in my life. As an internet business owner, I have a feeling that I’m supposed to keep up an image of prosperity and happiness at all times.  It’s not...

ShareThis month has been one of the most trying times of my life.  Maybe not the most discouraging time, but it’s right up there with the worst.  There were days this month that made me so upset and discouraged.  I didn’t know how we’d get through. While I still don’t have any answers about how things will work out, I know that somehow, I’ll get through it all. Heavenly...

ShareThis LDS General Conference is one of the best I’ve watched.  This morning’s talks were all so fitting and comforting for these tough times that we’re living in.  With topics ranging from dealing with the addiction of debt to standing strong in the face of trials and adversity, this was very inspiring and uplifting.  I can’t wait for the next session at 2:00 MT. ...
