Improving Life

It is amazing that the Fresh Prince of Belair can be so wise.  Everyday I am learning that this statement is true.  My life is better each time I attempt to lift another. Be honest.  Most people want to feel like their life meant something, like they made a positive difference in the world.  This… Continue reading Improving Life

Wrapping up September with Plant Power

People still look at me funny when I say I choose not to eat meat.; that I do eat an occasional egg and have even had a little yogurt or cheese here and there.  However, as a whole, I just stay away from animal products... and I feel better.  My skin, hair and nails look… Continue reading Wrapping up September with Plant Power

#bethelight – Day 325

I was thinking about this on my way home today.  It is an act of kindness to turn off your car if you are going to idle for more than a minute... unless you are at a stop light.  It will help save money, lessens the pollutants in the air, and improves the fuel economy… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 325

Scripture Sunday

LOVE is the Higher Law.

This past week I answered a question for my missionary daughter about the living a higher law. I gave it a ton of thought before I answered her.  I decided that living the higher law comes down to the two great commandments... Loving God and Loving your neighbor.  We are living the higher law when make… Continue reading LOVE is the Higher Law.

#bethelight – Day 320, 321, 322, and 324

The past few days I have worked at being nice.  The trouble is, nothing I've done is really notable.  I serve people at the school.  I serve people in my family.  I serve people at church.  Yet... I've gotten into a routine and have not succeeded in breaking free of my regular day stuff.  I… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 320, 321, 322, and 324

Family Friday

Wrapping Out September

It has been another busy week... starting with Saturday. I started the morning at the high school working on the set for Mamma Mia.  Ii was on my own with this work party.  The kids try hard and are learning good skills, but the work went rather slow.  I did get a couple dads helping… Continue reading Wrapping Out September

#bethelight – Day 319

Today I pulled up to the school and someone was parked in my parking space.  It wouldn't be such a big deal, except the school assigned parking spaces to everyone.  If I went ahead and parked in someone else's spot, then they would need to find somewhere to park.  So... I parked by the shop. … Continue reading #bethelight – Day 319

Warrior Wednesday

Warrior Women are Ready for the Day

Everyday I send my daughter out into the world hoping I have instilled this principle into her heart. Warriors put on their armory every day.  A Warrior protects her mind with the helmet of salvation.  A Warrior protects her virtue girt about with truth.  A Warrior protects her heart with the breastplate of righteousness.  A… Continue reading Warrior Women are Ready for the Day

#bethelight – Day 316, 317, and 318

Boy!  The days do get away from me.  I don't want you to think I have abandoned my kindness campaign.  I have not.  Each day I look for someone to help, to be a listening ear, to give a hug, to do a small and simple thing that can make someone else's life better.  That… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 316, 317, and 318
