You are Mine

I have to admit, I am complete confused by women I hear or see complaining about the messages church leadership sends to women in the church.  I LOVE what I learn in meetings and in conference!  Take yesterday at the General Women's Conference. I came away with a great reminder to  remember who I am,… Continue reading You are Mine

Oneness is not just for Buddhists

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  I am also a student of all that is good.  I love to read and see how religions from around the world reflect my own faith in the Lord, Jesus Christ. Today I read the conference talk given in the April 2017… Continue reading Oneness is not just for Buddhists

Warrior Wednesday

A Warrior Reserves Judgement

A Warrior develops kindness and reserves judgement. I can't remember how young I was when I first heard the phrase, "never judge a book by it's cover."  I do know that I have learned much truth regarding this phrase. No one likes to be judged or feel judged.  As I large person, I have felt… Continue reading A Warrior Reserves Judgement

Glory of Truth Enlightened

D&C 93:36 "The glory of God is intelligence, or, in other words, light and truth." I've heard this scripture for most of my life.  It is the motto of the university I attended and graduated from. Intelligence usually is coupled with gathering of information... learning... thinking.  God wants us to learn.  He wants us to… Continue reading Glory of Truth Enlightened

Do You Hear the Crickets Sing?

There is a time in every single one of our lives when we all realized we have learned to hear the crickets. Crickets are messengers.  Near my home, crickets are a signal that summer is ending soon, that fall is approaching.  Their cheerful little chirps add to magical late summer evenings. (I read that their… Continue reading Do You Hear the Crickets Sing?

Another Testament of Jesus Christ

Today I finished reading "The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ".  This is not the first time I have read this book.  However, this is the first time I have read it in 65 days - the time it took Joseph Smith to translate the gold plates. I usually read the Book of… Continue reading Another Testament of Jesus Christ

Thought Tuesday

Celestial Wonders

The event began yesterday morning with an ever-so-slight shift of light... a bit of darkness.  Through my solar eclipse glasses, it appeared as if someone nibbled a small bite out of the sun. Slowly - yet not slowly - the shadow crept its way across the sun's surface. As these celestial bodies began to align… Continue reading Celestial Wonders

Scripture Sunday

Life is a struggle.  At least, this is a fact that I have learned throughout my life.  Whether it is physical pain, emotional pain, struggles with insecurities, or the continuing fight to grow a testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ, life is a struggle.  Life's struggles often frustrate our abilities to increase our faith.… Continue reading

Love Trumps Them All

Under Pressure - Queen and David Bowie I must confess, I don't understand hatred. The examples of hatred that are saturating our society baffle me.  Hatred run rampant in our politics, society, and religions.  I can't escape!  I see hatred on television shows, movies, computer screens, schools, streets and communities.  I see hate's ignorance and… Continue reading Love Trumps Them All

Scripture Sunday – The Great White Out 

Today, as I sat in church, a thought struck me.  The little girl who was baring her testimony of Christ and how the Atonement of Jesus Christ allows us to have a “do over,” I thought, “Christ is my white out!  Because of Him I can rewrite my story anytime.” I know. It’s a weird… Continue reading Scripture Sunday – The Great White Out
