The power of a name and its value has long been immortalized in prose, poetry, and religious ceremony. Everyone recognizes himself or herself by name. Every fall or at the beginning of each play production, I have students introduce themselves to the rest of the group. I like to ask them to think about their… Continue reading Scripture Sunday – What’s in a Name?
Hannah is getting to go to the temple for the first time. As a result she has been discussing the temple prep lessons with me (McKay and Myles through Skype today). Today's subject is The Plan. This plan was designed to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man. This plan includes a… Continue reading Scripture Sunday – Jesus IS the Plan
In light of all that has happened in the world today, it was poetic that today I re-read the, The Merciful Obtain Mercy by President Dieter f. Uchtdorf. Truly, the Lord knows what we must face. He inspires His Prophets to teach us the way before we need it most. This "instant classic" is brilliant, and… Continue reading The Merciful Obtain Mercy
As winter draws to a close here in the Northwest, the hearty daffodils begin to poke their heads up through the leaves, grass and twigs on the surface of the ground, braving the down pour of rain and the whipping of winds. During the dark days of winter it is common to walk by the… Continue reading Dancing with Daffodils
It’s taken me a few days to process what I truly want to say. I sure hope it comes out the way I intend. This past weekend I spent some time helping a dear friend through the dark night of the soul. It is difficult to see people you love go through dark days and… Continue reading Paint the Light

The problem of simplification is a common struggle among my friends and family. “Life is really simple, but… Continue reading Keeping it Simple
Being an example radiates from our very being. It defines who we are, what we believe in, and how we act. There is good in everyone. Even though our beliefs may differ, we all radiate something......What is it that you radiate? What conviction shows forth from you that says "I AM AN EXAMPLE of…"? Yesterday… Continue reading An Example of the Believers
Lately I am obsessing over how to motive not only myself, but my children, to make good choices. It’s hard. I believe firmly that God is very concerned about the quality of my life just I am concerned for the quality of my kids lives. He wants me to do more than just believe in… Continue reading Love Changes Everything
I so enjoy the Sabbath! I can’t wait for tomorrow! It is a glorious opportunity to change the pace of the work I do. It is an opportunity to contemplate the week and make sense out of all the experiences, lessons, interactions, and successes of the week. It is a busy day. In some ways,… Continue reading Joy in the Game
I had a thought occur to me while studying Matt. 11:28-29. Why did I ever think I could learn to bridle all my passions without the Lord? OK… I’ve known this before, but I continue to forget. The Lord continues to repeat lessons for me because I continue to forgetful… sheesh… at least He is… Continue reading My Yoke is Easy…
