Most people didn’t revere Jesus until He was dead; during His lifetime most people hated Him. Upon studying His life is when people revered Him. Studies revealed that: Jesus was sinless; Jesus’ disciples taught His words and those words were recorded and are what we call scripture; Prophets testified of Christ’s infinite Atonement and that […]
The day will soon be when Saints will reject the world’s philosophies to embrace God’s holiness. (It will be easy because every Saint knows holiness.) Men will be leaders of righteousness, women will teach truths and children will be pure and have tremendous faith. Good people will be drawn goodness. They will have power and […]
Easter, my favorite day of the year! Today all Christians celebrate that Jesus Christ rose from the tomb! I’m thankful that Christ overcame death so that I, too, (and all of us) will live again eternally! Rejoice, The Lord is King! Rejoice, the Lord is King! Your Lord and King adore! Mortals, give thanks and […]
For some reason I feel a special kinship toward all women and girls. I consider them my sisters and want to help them in their lives. I love them. They’re fearless, loving, smart, beautiful, and have many, many good qualities. I love hearing good and encouraging thoughts. Some men inspire me but when I hear […]
Can a person be too spiritual? The task of the spiritually minded is to overcome the world to be spiritually centered, like the Savior. (Spiritual people do their best to see, feel, think, and act like God—and not just on Sunday but always.) “Always” is the key to goodness but is “always” too much? Perhaps, to worldly […]
I am truly grateful for the General Conferences of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints held twice every year on the first weekends of April and October. Each General Conference strengthens my spirituality and love for Jesus Christ as speakers share inspired messages that cause me to feel God’s Holy Spirit. My heart […]
Former President, Gordon B. Hinckley, said many things about having the Holy Ghost as our constant companion and receiving personal guidance (revelation) from on high. Here are a few things he said: ‘Listen for the whisperings of the Spirit in the middle of the night, and respond to those whisperings.’ I don’t know why revelation […]
Sometimes bad things happen that are actually blessings in disguise. A seemingly bad thing was that I got a disease (MS) that took away a lot of my skills and caused me to just sit. Before MS I used to push myself to my limit every day and never give myself a break. Relaxing was something […]
I’m glad to know there are many women who are strong defenders of Jesus Christ. They are capable women with a solid foundation who are examples to others because of their kindness, courage, and moral strength. They have conviction and vision. They know what they want and won’t stop striving for their goals. I love […]
It’s 8:00 PM, Per is on his way to work in Australia for a week and I want to do something productive rather than sit here. After changing into comfy clothes I decided to clean my closet, but while sitting at my vanity removing my makeup I knew I was done for the day. A […]
I know this is true: Never second-guess my feelings that lead me to act because my feelings will never lead me wrong. My experiences led me to it’s truth: I wondered if my decision to get Andrew in LA was wrong and that I had overstepped my bounds because it was up to him-not me-to […]
The simplest task of vacuuming my bedroom floor made me say I’m done for the day. Granted I walked to where the vacuum was stored, changed the battery (to make sure the vacuum wouldn’t die during my project), and emptied the full canister all before vacuuming my bedroom floor and that would normally seem like […]
The number one thing the trial of MS has taught me is to have patience because I’ve had to wait many times. You’d think that after ten years I’d be perfectly patient but you’d be wrong. Just yesterday I tried to organize my pantry after planning it out in my mind, but just before that […]
In my dream last night was a thought: My eyes have shifted to see the entire spectrum in my mind. (It’s like the time in the mall when looking at a picture of an optical illusion of a 2D repetitive pattern hiding a 3D image and my eyes shifted and I saw the Looney Tunes […]
For two years (2013-2015) I didn’t drive … AT ALL. In October 2015 I was talking on the phone to my friend and I said, “This is ridiculous, you’re there and I’m here and there’s a car in my driveway, so I’m coming over.” I got in the car -after not driving for two years- […]
Some people don’t believe in God or the unseen. Many people only believe in who they are naturally and they only put their trust in their intellect, knowing that their success happens because of them. I respect all people, even when we disagree, and have no doubt in our right to believe what we do. I hope for friendship and […]
God’s living Prophet on the earth today is Russell M. Nelson. After him another Prophet will be called, in the Lord’s orderly way, and in this final dispensation we will never be without God’s Prophet on the earth. As Neil L. Andersen said at the April 2018 General Conference, “The prophet is a watchman on the tower, protecting us […]
Life has a habit of getting in the way! But my reminder is this: “Have courage. Be brave. You can do it! Stand for the right and have no regret. Be Strong. Don’t doubt or fear but know it’ll all work out. Have faith and believe in the power from heaven. Don’t get knocked off course […]
Mormon or Latter-day Saint? What an odd question, aren’t they both the same? No, they’re not. “Mormons” is an inaccurate nickname for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The correct name for church members is Latter-day Saints. One doesn’t need a religion to tell them how to be because it’s personal. No one’s perfect but […]
I’m a go-getter and if there’s a way to accomplish it I’ll find and do it. In 2008 I had a lot going on: Worked out of the house at a full-time job for a company I loved. Was a full-time mom who cooked dinner every night, took care of my youngest son, wrote an email […]
The following video is for any woman who thinks she’s “Just a Mom.” Life is the most cherished thing a person can give, and being a mom is the most noble, selfless, and loving choice a woman can be. To all the moms out there…I honor you today. #happymothersday #love #sharegoodness Just a Mom video
Two thoughts crossed my mind: First, I need to be like the Savior in every way and think, say and do only good things to be free from the clutches of Satan. Second, I need to prepare myself to one day abide the Lord’s presence by being like Him. Zion is the Lord’s realm and His realm is only good. […]
Two goals of my life are to let go of my ego (pride) and have none, and to love no matter what is encountered. Any form of anger or anything that causes me to consider myself is pride. (“How dare they do that to ME.”) It’s not about me but them. “Ye have heard that it hath […]
People’s earthly faith became heavenly belief and they were each surrounded with a force field that protected them. Their faith made them righteous, holy, and able to withstand evil without fear. They happily lived their lives and knew in whom they trusted. “And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld the power of the […]
We are truly blessed to have a Prophet of God living on the earth in our day. Do we know his counsel? Do we heed what he says? Download the ‘Gospel Library’ app on your phone and go to ‘General Conference’ and always have his words. Here’s what President Monson has said in General Conference […]
