This is a very difficult thought that I am attempting to put down on paper and hopefully it will never be taken in the wrong way and cause hurt and/or resentment by those who may read it. Rather, as is my intention, it will create a better understanding of the eternal nature of life and…

On Heavenly Mother
This is a topic that I have always felt was too sacred to discuss for the same and various reasons discussed in the article below. However, after reading the talk given in a sacrament meeting during 2016, I feel free to share her thoughts. An In Depth Look Into Our Heavenly Mother, June 10, 2016,…
On Angels Around Us
Alma, the great Book of Mormon Prophet, describes how angels have a place in our lives: “And now as I said concerning faith—faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true. And now, behold, I say unto you,…
On Risk Taking
Can a person living on this earth avoid taking risks? I think not! The following poem written by an unknown author says it very well: To laugh—is to risk appearing the fool;To weep—is to risk appearing sentimental;To reach out for another—is to risk involvement;To expose feelings—is to risk exposing your true self;To place your ideas,…
On Enough
Enough is a slippery word because it means something different to every individual. It is defined as: something occurring in such quantity, quality, or scope as to fully meet demands, needs, or expectations. The only problem with that definition is that enough is determined on an individual basis because your enough is not the same as my…
On The Power of Touch
Ahhh! Who can truly comprehend the importance of the human touch, not only to other human, but to all living creatures? I have written before about my first dog, that I gave the strange name of Jeep. Why Jeep? Because the second World War was going on at the time we met, and I fell…
On The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
“Where we came from, if one did not want to die of poverty, one became a priest or a bandit!” That quote came from the spaghetti western, The Good the Bad and the Ugly. Thank goodness that isn’t where most of us came from today. However, with H.D. (High Definition) technology, we can all be fully exposed…
On Being Responsible
Youth are encouraged to become responsible people. When we are adults, the expectation is that we will act responsibly at all times. Responsible adults abide by and uphold family, social, community and national rules, laws, regulations and expectations. Aside from those more general applications, if you see yourself as the oldest, or the most capable…
On The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me
I was listening to the radio on the way home from the FamilySearch Library the other evening, and Gladys Knight happened to be singing “Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me.” I have always enjoyed that song, especially the way she sang it. What a thought provoker: I have had so many best things happen…
On Being Content
Paul, the Apostle, in writing to the Hebrews suggested, “Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. (Hebrews 13:5) I interpret that to mean the Lord values us, not what worldly things we have accumulated. It…
