I Need to be Nice for Me
I am discovering more and more throughout life that God does not NEED me to be nice. I NEED me to be nice. Helping other and being kind to everyone you encounter warms your own heart. Helping others gives you a fresh perspective and keeps you from focusing on your own problems. Drawing the focus… Continue reading I Need to be Nice for Me
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

These people were Old Testament people. They had not yet met the Savior, even they had firm… Continue reading Finding the LORD of Lords

I am much better at these two practices than I used to be and… Continue reading Be Still… A Few Thoughts on Meditation

It is a symbol of peace in a chaotic world. "The moment we step into the house… Continue reading Satisfied with Temple Worship
Interdependent Warrior Women
Lately I've been hearing so much banter with people adamant about their person freedom and individuality. I get it. It's important. However, I believe freedom cannot come at the expense of everyone else. No one gets their freedom because of anything they do for themselves. We enjoy freedom because of the collective efforts of people… Continue reading Interdependent Warrior Women
Refining Moments
I've been pondering an idea for a couple of days... If we will be humble, the Lord will refine us. I am not being refined in some dramatic fashion. It's on a small scale. No Saul/Paul or Alma experiences happening here. It's more like a little every day. And frankly, though it is painful in… Continue reading Refining Moments
Deeply Rooted Warrior Woman
I grew up in Central Oregon. Our property was dotted by juniper trees. One lone pine tree stood in the neighbor's field. These trees needed deep roots to survive. For several years my parents planted various trees and had the kids water them all summer long. These little trees did not have deep roots. They… Continue reading Deeply Rooted Warrior Woman
