I have enjoyed my study of Enoch this week. In addition to the recommended reading, I have started reading the Book of Enoch and continue to read the book The Gem of Genesis. These books have given me so much to think about and ponder. I think the principles that stand out the most is… Continue reading Lessons from Enoch: Turning from Darkness to Light

Our First Parents

Thoughts on Adam and Eve: I have so many I’m not sure I can put them into one blog This is not just a creation story, it is a story of what it means to be human and how God interacts with His children. It speaks to the universal experiences of loss, alienation, struggle, and… Continue reading Our First Parents

Focus on the Light in the Plan

I have really enjoyed studying the beginning of Genesis. I’ve listened to The Key to the Keystone, read the beginning of his next book, The Lost Gems of Genesis, The Book of Adam and Eve (From Egypt), The Ethiopian Bible, and several apocryphal writings. Also, these things have given me great insight into the first… Continue reading Focus on the Light in the Plan

“Go Away for I Am a Child of God”

I am grateful for my body. For the past 737 days I have completed a goal to exercise 30-40 minutes intentionally. On January 1st, I completed two years of that goal and needed to switch it up a bit. I needed to switch it up because, although I did SOMETHING, it wasn't always an intentional,… Continue reading “Go Away for I Am a Child of God”

Resigning from Doubt to Walk in the River of His Love

This past Sunday, the women's group at church will be studying a talk entitled "Sir, We Would Like to See Jesus" by Elder Robert M. Daines, given in the October, 2023 General Conference.

Resigning to Waiting on the Lord’s Timing… Lessons in Healing

“Kicking against the pricks” has taken on a new meaning for me.  A quick snap and we are broken, yet it can take weeks, months and years to heal.  A harsh word spoken in haste can do damage that takes years to overcome, to restore trust, and to return to full fellowship. We are called… Continue reading Resigning to Waiting on the Lord’s Timing… Lessons in Healing

Running out of Steam

This heating is sucking the life out of me... or maybe it's the fact that I worked harder than usual at getting my exercise game on... or maybe it's the fact that I still have not worked out my sleep patterns. I am a champion at getting "light sleep." It is Deep sleep and REM… Continue reading Running out of Steam

Resigning from Contention

In President Russell M. Nelson’s talk, “Peacemakers Needed" in April 2023, he taught,  “Civility and decency seem to have disappeared during this era of polarization and passionate disagreements.” “Vulgarity, fault finding, and evil speaking of others are all too common.” “I am greatly concerned that so many people seem to believe that it is completely… Continue reading Resigning from Contention

resigning to the heat

I don't really do well when it comes to hot weather. Seriously. I melt. This past week it's been in the upper 80s and this coming week it will be in the upper 90s. I wilt. My plants wilt. I need some ideas to beat the summer heat - for myself and for my plants.… Continue reading resigning to the heat
