The unseen grandpa,
gone many years before,
stands next to the crib
and smiles at the babe
sleeping with a purring snore. Continue reading

God loves you
A quote I liked from October 2019’s General Conference. As usual, the meme makers went crazy during Elder Uchtdorf’s talk. There is probably already a meme with this quote but I wanted to make my own. Photo taken at Togwotee Pass in Wyoming. Continue reading
General Conference thoughts: The Savior’s Touch
Years ago, in an institute class, the teacher made a comparison I still remember to this day. In the 1982 movie, The Man From Snowy River, there is a dramatic scene of a cowboy riding his horse down the side of a mountain. Even for someone unfamiliar with horse back riding I can tell it is quite the feat. The teacher pointed out the reason the cowboy could do this ludicrous act is because the horse had been broken. The horse trusted the rider even when the rider spurred him to do something impossible. Continue reading
Take heart

With this adversity you have been given an opportunity to experience the Atonement of Jesus Christ in a new light. Continue reading

General Conference thoughts: Your Great Adventure
The meme makers went crazy over this talk. Don’t let the lighthearted analogy deter you from the profound truths in this talk. Elder Uchtdorf offered some hefty soul-meat at his table. Continue reading
Stupid radish story
I have this theory that I developed in high school. It is all thanks to a science project I did but I already wrote about the details here. To sum up, I truly believe words matter. Tone matters. Uplifting and edifying words promote growth while negative and insults damn growth. At the end of 2019, I was to share a Sunday School lesson about James. Part of James’ epistle centers on our language. At least, that was my take away from it. Now, I’ve used the example of my science project many times and many people poo-poo it. They don’t trust the results. So, I thought I would recreate it. I set out to prove the results of my high school science project. Continue reading
The radish experiment that went awry
Beware 8 legged freaks!
The only species of spider I like is the kind with “man” as a suffix. All others beware. I’m pulling out all the stops. Continue reading
