Returned with Honor
The story of my son and his mission service is a little like Paul or Alma. As a young teen he became disenchanted with the church and the gospel of Jesus Christ. He did not attend church for many years. It grieved my soul. However, when I would pray about what i could do, a… Continue reading Returned with Honor

Studying theatre can be a great starting point for careers such as teaching, law, and politics, not to mention broadcasting and performing.

A warrior forgives because… Continue reading A Warrior Continues to Forgive

Yesterday was about honoring your parents. I went through my day honoring my parents by doing the things I saw/see them do.

We can show appreciation year-round by serving them and… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 35
