This morning I was asked to help with singing time in Primary at church. I wasn't really sure I knew what I was going to do. I had a couple ideas, but I wasn't exactly positive what I was going to do and how I was going to teach singing time. This group of kids… Continue reading Building a Thanksgiving Map

Breaking Free of the “Self-Pity Party” – Thoughts on Forgiveness
This week I was watching the Hallmark Channel series The Good Witch and I heard this quote, "Hate traps you in the past." This quote led me to ponder forgiveness for several days. I think that forgiveness is often a misunderstood principle. This is usually the case when we are in need of forgiving an… Continue reading Breaking Free of the “Self-Pity Party” – Thoughts on Forgiveness
