I woke up hungry this morning. It is fast Sunday and I have chosen to fast. I decided to make my fast more meaningful, to go to church with an attitude of worship and gratitude. I have been studying the law of the fast... both physically and spiritually... ways fasting helps my body heal and… Continue reading Fasting to Feed My Soul

Words of Wisdom
I think Conference weekend is my favorite weekend. Too bad there are only two in a year. I felt so peaceful and so energized in one. Here are some of the Memes I collected from this Conference. I stick them in an electronic picture frame and put it on random. They scroll through and I… Continue reading Words of Wisdom
Celebrating the Great Life Giver
Many years ago I learned of the heroic efforts of Oscar Schindler, a compassionate man who attempted to rescue a doomed race of people. Schindler made large amounts of money in his factory in Krakow Poland providing enamel-ware for the Germans. He used that money to buy the lives of hundreds of defenseless Jews. To… Continue reading Celebrating the Great Life Giver
“I Will Go and Do…”
Today I have been thinking about an old scripture mastery... I think it may still be a scripture mastery, but I'm not sure because I am no longer teaching seminary. This scripture may be the first scripture I ever memorized... way back when I was in seminary. "And it came to pass that I, Nephi,… Continue reading “I Will Go and Do…”
Look Beyond What You See
I have been living and breathing the story of Lion King over the past few months. I had the honor of directing Lion King Jr at a local school. I cherished the opportunity to bring to life one of my favorite stories... a story full of symbolism and meaning... a story that strengthens my faith.… Continue reading Look Beyond What You See

"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it… Continue reading Savoring the Sabbath

Blessing or Burden
I've been thinking all day about the burden that comes with agency. I've been thinking about the price that comes with agency. Agency is a priceless, sacred, eternal gift. Agency is the power to think, to choose, and to act for ourselves. Agency presents endless possibilities and opportunities. Attached to these possibilities and opportunities is… Continue reading Blessing or Burden
Contention – Nobody Got Time For That!
"And he commanded them that there should be no contention one with another, but that they should look forward with one eye, having one faith and one baptism, having their hearts knit together in unity and in love one towards another." Mosiah 18:21 I've been thinking about and pondering this scripture for a couple of… Continue reading Contention – Nobody Got Time For That!
The Gift of Love
One of the greatest rewards of surviving the sleepless nights of night feedings, the sleepless night of worry, the sleepless nights of “talkative” teens, and the sleepless nights of wondering how to pay for that mission, wedding or college is the joy of being a grandparent. I love making faces at little Freya and getting… Continue reading The Gift of Love
