Fasting to Feed My Soul

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

A Warrior’s Personal Power

Have you ever noticed that some people seem to never be down, never get discouraged, and always seem to be in charge of their life?  I wonder why these people have such a positive, uplifting vibe and others don't.  I recognize that we all positive and negative thoughts and moods.  I am learning that there… Continue reading A Warrior’s Personal Power

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

Spring Break!

    It isn't often that I go on a road trip.  I'm not much for travel.  I like my own bed far too much, I guess.  However, this Spring Break we decided to hit the road with our one child left at home and to visit family. The drive was very uneventful... this was… Continue reading Spring Break!

A Warrior sees the Divine Design

Yesterday I read talk by Elder Ronald A. Rasband entitled By Divine Design. As I read I couldn't help but think how a Warrior understands the Divine Design, embraces it, and lives it. In this talk he talked about how there are no "coincidences with God... things happen by "divine design." Now, that is not… Continue reading A Warrior sees the Divine Design

“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

Aspects of Love

We celebrated love this week with Valentine's Day.  It's got me thinking more about all of the aspects of love.  I looked at an old blog post I posted many years ago and decided to give it a face lift... adding a little here and there from a few more years of experience. One of… Continue reading Aspects of Love

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
