I don’t connect with every talk and this is one that I had a difficult time finding personal application with. Since I don’t have a family of my own to teach this seemed like N/A counsel. Don’t get me wrong, it is good counsel for those it applies to but for those of us who can’t practice its message at this time it wasn’t the easiest to focus on. Continue reading

There is always that question of why. Why am I doing this? At least for me that question needs to be answered on a fairly regular basis. A couple of months ago when spring finally started making its way with warm weather I asked that very same question as I headed into church. Why am I going to church today? It is so nice out! Elder Wakolo answers that question. Here’s the why. Continue reading

My first thought when the Young Women General Presidency was released was, “is it already that time again?” I was a newly called ward Young Women president when Sister Dalton took the helm. That was two presidencies ago now. Time is flying. But this isn’t about me, is it? Continue reading

Due to space and time, I am combining two talks in this post.
When I watched conference last April I thought one of the major themes was forgiveness. I was surprised when I received my Ensign and looked at the topic guide in the front of the issue and discovered it wasn’t as big of theme as I thought it was. In fact, only three talks were linked to the topic. Obviously, it was a personal message I needed to hear. Continue reading

In the Disney cartoon Sleeping Beauty, three fairies bestow gifts upon a newborn child to help and benefit her during her life. I have thought about the three gifts that the fairies chose to give the child deeming them as blessings. In the end, I have to disagree with the three gifts the fairies share. The only useful one is the last one to counteract the spell the child was placed under. If I were to have a child, what gifts or talents would I want that child to possess? Continue reading
