General Conference thoughts: Great Love for Our Father’s Children
Here’s the thing. Love has never been my strong suit. I have always been more of a loner and a bit isolated. If there is a group of people I will tend to shy away. It’s just how I roll. Continue reading

General Conference thoughts: Lord, Wilt Thou Cause That My Eyes May Be Opened
by Elder W. Craig Zwick
Another reason to draw nearer to Christ by study and applying His teachings. This goes against everything the modern philosophers will teach. According to today’s teachings followers of Jesus Christ are narrow minded and naïve. Modern day disciples are attacked for their limited view. But that is a false stereotype. Continue reading

A small act of kindness
It was a simple act. I wonder how many people even noticed? Surely if I saw it others must have too.
Brother So-and-so was saying the Sacrament prayer for the bread. Apparently, it was that kind of day for him. The words just couldn’t make their way out of his mouth correctly. He started several times. This is one of those instances that have the potential to embarrass someone. For some people, it could even drive them to obscurity. Slip away, slip away into safe, comfortable surroundings. Why bother trying?
