I am a little piece of driftwood.
Don’t mind me as I float by.
No one really notices.

It’s difficult to recognize the problem while it’s happening. We can be overwhelmed or underwhelmed. Either way we could be in trouble. Continue reading
General Conference thoughts: General Priesthood Session
Due to space and time, all talks from Saturday’s General Priesthood Session have been combined.
I realize the Book of Mormon war chapters are not an easy read. My personal experience with them started with excitement and then faded to “Why don’t they ever learn?” In my opinion, they are some of the most easy applicable to our day. They contain great lessons and important warnings for us. Continue reading
Three Gifts – Redux
I have spent a lot of time thinking if I had a child and could give her a gift what would I give? I even wrote a post influenced by Sleeping Beauty.

So I revisit this idea and my old post with some more thought and consideration. Continue reading

General Conference thoughts: Behold the Lamb of God
A small bit of counsel I picked up somewhere along the way in life that I have held onto helps me focus on the Sacrament. I will pass it along to you to see if it helps you.

This means if I arrive late to the meeting and the Sacrament hymn is being sung I wait out in the foyer until the ordinance is complete. Continue reading
Old-fashioned title?
I grew up using the title aunt for my parents’ and grandparents’ siblings. In fact, I remember one time my uncle called and I thought I was too old to use the title so I ditched the title and only used his name when I told my mom who was on the line. Of course, he heard me so when mom answered the phone he asked her why we were on a first name basis. She then asked me about it and it took years for me to attempt to drop the title again.
