I believe learning the language of the Spirit is the most crucial skill a person can acquire in this day and age. It is also something I lack the ability to do. That is why I appreciate step by step instructions on how to accomplish this task more so than pretty metaphors and imagery that sometimes loses practical implementation. Continue reading
I’m not suave about social media. For me, it’s definitely a love-hate relationship with it all. I declare with loud voice how much I’d like to do away with it all but then I seem to be the first to like a status or post on Facebook. Ugh. Somehow I also ended up on Twitter so now I have two accounts that I feel the need to share on. This is way too much sharing for one boring person. Continue reading
Could I have one more hour of every day? Continue reading
A self-evaluation after a task may help us improve. Be honest but not harsh. The goal is to improve for next time not defeat in the meantime. Continue reading
Due to space and time, the entire Saturday evening session is combined in one post.
I don’t watch the Saturday evening of conference because after 4 hours from the morning and afternoon, my focus is shot (I’m not sure what I’ll do in October when I should watch that evening session) but I do read every talk in the Ensign.

“By small and simple things” Alma 37:6
If you have been a reader of this little blog for awhile then you probably are aware that 2016 was a bit of a rough one for me. I suffered a crisis of faith like I have never been through before.

The daily to-dos we are admonished to remember and I can assert the doing makes the difference. Continue reading
The other day I used my phone to Google something. My previous search item popped up. Hmm. If anyone else would peek at my searches I might get mocked. I’m sure I had a good reason to search Oompa Loompas, I just can’t remember what that reason was. Continue reading

It’s all about family. In the end, it’s all about family, what else matters? Continue reading
Imagine this: you have been walking for close to an hour. Not just walking but hiking in the high mountain desert at the heat of the day in the middle of summer. You have climbed several feet in elevation. This was not a planned destination but one decided after you had already begun your walk. You have one bottle of water with you that is already getting warm. One vista has already afforded you a view of your town and a chance to rest and ponder. You follow a different path to begin your descent than the one you followed for the ascent. Along the path you encounter a fork in the road. To the left the path goes back down the hill. To the right there is another hill. What do you do? Continue reading
