We all have a face, a unique face, “like” as well as “unlike” everybody else’s face. That may sound a great deal like double talk. But it’s true. Our face is unique and different from all other faces. That is a scientific fact. Every face has pretty much the same general features: eyes, nose, mouth,…

On Being Practical
“One day I am going to etc. etc. etc.” Have you ever heard that statement come out of your own mouth? I am guilty; I have probably said that many times about different things I wanted to make, places I wanted to see, mountains I wanted to climb (figuratively speaking). But, if I have followed…
On A Positive From A Negative
My daughter and son-in-law were in an accident the other night because a young man pulled out from a side street right in front of them. The impact turned his car over and totaled their van, as the front end was all caved in. It was a very traumatic experience for all involved—but no one…
On Let There Be Light
From the mouths of babes! “And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?” (Matthew 21:16) In Sacrament meeting, a young missionary (19 years old) spoke with the maturity of an angel. I’m going to elaborate on one of the things that…
On Thought
Thought is the invisible brainwave that can be translated into distinctive human behavior or action. Even though thought is invisible to the human eye, there are some people who claim they can read another’s thought before that thought becomes action.

On Nice Things People Do And Say
Many people feel that they are invisible and unimportant and that nobody notices them whether they do anything good or not. As soon as they make a mistake or do something wrong, then they are noticed. Their moment in the spotlight is based on a negative. After a few experiences like that, it becomes their…
On Optimism
Life on earth is too short to spend it with negative events, places and even negative people. Many of us work hard at maintaining an optimistic view of life; it is very much like maintaining oneself physically and spiritually. We have to nourish all three in order to maintain a healthy being. We feed optimism…
On Disappointments
They say that death is just as certain as taxes. We can add disappointments as well. Not only are we certain to be disappointed from time to time while we sojourn on this planet earth, but in some cases, the same disappointing event will repeat itself over and over again. Disappointments are usually looked upon…
On Carefully
We listen to and read words all of our lives, and at some point some of us begin looking at words beyond their simple meanings. Some words actually sound and look like what they mean, I believe “careful” or “carefully” are those kind of words. Maybe I am a little strange to see words the…
