So many things to think about... it's exhausting. It is super cool that someone creative makes these little pictures that will now go in my electronic picture frame, reminding me of the many lessons learned this General Conference.

I Will Praise Thee Forever
Today my heart is overwhelmed with awe and thanks giving because of the greatness of God. I am inspired by the song, How Great Thou Art. A young Swedish minister, Reverend Carl Boberg of Monsteras, walked two miles along the southeast coast of Sweden in the rain and then was inspired to pen the words… Continue reading I Will Praise Thee Forever
Lifting the Poor Wayfaring Men of Grief
As we were leaving a Walmart parking lot yesterday, I rolled down my car window and gave a dollar to a homeless man on the corner. He grabbed my hand and genuinely thanked me for the dollar, but asked if I had anything for a headache. It was so hot outside. No wonder he had… Continue reading Lifting the Poor Wayfaring Men of Grief
Finding the LORD of Lords
As we drove along yesterday on a long drive, my husband and I were listening to passages from the book of Helaman in the Book of Mormon for his morning scripture study. a thought suddenly occurred to me... These people were Old Testament people. They had not yet met the Savior, even they had firm… Continue reading Finding the LORD of Lords
Be Still… A Few Thoughts on Meditation

Sadly, my commitment to my scripture study, and most frequently, prayer is irregular at best. Don't get me wrong. I am much better at these two practices than I used to be and… Continue reading Be Still… A Few Thoughts on Meditation

I looked up "goodly" in the dictionary. Here are a few of the definitions I found: Of good… Continue reading Journey to Be a Goodly Parent
Enlisting in the Battalion
The discussion this week at church was all about how we, as adults, can help strengthen the youth around us. As I listened, the thought came to me that we are strength all youth, not just church youth. Youth are under a massive, strategic attack. The adversary would like them to lose their identity, forget… Continue reading Enlisting in the Battalion
Ministering Hands
It seems that the subject of most meetings at church these past weeks has been "ministering." There have been many great lessons and talks on the subject of ministering. However, one of the greatest lessons of ministering I have learned to day comes from my grand-daughter, a four year old with the heart of a… Continue reading Ministering Hands
Pondering Revelation
I have been pondering the subject of increasing my ability to receive personal revelation. I have read President Nelson's recent address several times. I have read other materials on the subject. I have written my thoughts in a letter to my missionary daughter. I still have much to learn, but I have decided that I… Continue reading Pondering Revelation
