Last night, John and I had the opportunity to worship in the temple. I love to go to the temple. I was 23 the first time I went to the temple for my own covenants.

Finding Safety Amidst Life’s Floods: Insights from Noah
My study of Noah and the ark gave me many things to ponder and to reflect on.

Understanding God’s Empathy in Moses 7 and Enoch

Experiencing Joy
Last week the missionaries came over for dinner. After dinner they shared a short message and asked these questions, "What is joy to you and in what ways have you experienced joy?"
