General Conference thoughts: Turn to the Lord
by Bishop W. Christopher Waddell
Another one that fit the ‘how to find peace today’ formula. There are no new answers in any of them only reminders. The only way to find peace in our world today is to seek Jesus Christ and focus on God. Continue reading
Pulling Through
A short thought on overcoming:
You find that one truth to hold onto and hold onto it tight. Even if that truth is a mere hope in your heart. You hold onto it and let it pull you through your mist.

and hits so hard you don’t understand
why you deserve this
remember focus on the task at hand. Continue reading

There have been times when I wanted or needed to stay awake and physically couldn’t. The phrase “could ye not watch with me one hour” stayed with me as I dressed for the day and if I would have been able to watch one hour with the Savior that night. Continue reading
To Whom Shall We Go?
by Elder M. Russell Ballard
Below is the link to the General Conference talk by Elder Ballard. Between the link and here I share a few of my personal thoughts on the subject.
During a particularly dark mist of temptation, I distinctly remember trying to decide if I should let go of the iron rod. I wanted to. I felt abandoned and lost. I felt I had wasted my time all these years and all I wanted to do was to let go. Continue reading
