Making Difficult Decisions Through Prayer

Posted on by

Recently, I was faced with a difficult decision to make. Without going into too much detail, it was very personal, and involved one of my children. I needed the help of the Lord to make this decision. There were lots of emotions involved, and I kept questioning my feelings. It seemed hard to distinguish whether or not I was receiving revelation or just simple thoughts in my mind. I struggled with this issue for a few months. It wasn’t until I had a fleeting thought, and pondered on it that I realized that the Spirit was trying to whisper something … Continue reading →

Mormons and Politics

Posted on by

I have to admit that on this election day, I could hardly think of anything to write about that did not directly relate to politics. While the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints maintains political neutrality, politics are still a very hot topic among LDS members. And, I have to say that I have been ashamed by some of the comments I have seen by LDS members of the church opposing other parties. Politics and Religion are two things that do not go hand in hand very easily. However, I have felt that during this election year, I have … Continue reading →

LDS Holistic Living Conference

Posted on by

Did you know about the LDS Holisitic Living Conference? I didn’t either until last year when a friend of mine told me about it, and now, it is coming up again this weekend. I’m hoping I get the opportunity to go. If not this year, then definitely next year. What is it all about? Well, it is a one day conference dedicated to teaching members of the church about living healthier lives, both physically and spiritually. While the church does not officially endorse this conference, it is full of good information for any member of the church that wants to … Continue reading →

Who Has Inspired You?

Posted on by

I read a great little article in the Ensign last Sunday. It was a short one titled, A Friend in the Bishop. For some reason this article really touched my heart. It made me realize that we all have special people that have touched our lives for the better. And, when I think about the organization of the church, and all the leaders who put in countless hours fulfilling their callings and going the extra mile to touch the life of another, then I am grateful for the Lord’s plan. I know He organized this church this way for a … Continue reading →

Addiction Recovery Program is Now Online

Posted on by

The church has recently launched a new portion of its website for the addiction recovery program. I, myself, have never attended these meetings. I have always thought that it was just for those who suffered from addiction to pornography or substance abuse. But, in fact, this program is much more than that. If you are thinking that it might be like your typical AA meeting, think again. The meetings are run in a loving, hope filled environment. No one is expected to confess their sins to a large group of people, and in fact, you don’t even have to be … Continue reading →

Pray First, Then Act

The book of Nehemiah is not long – only 13 chapters, but it contains a great deal that is relevant to Christians today. In a way it is the other side of There’s a Need, So What? In Nehemiah 1 we see how God helps Nehemiah identify a need and then act upon that need. Jerusalem and its walls had been destroyed in the Babylonian invasion. Nehemiah hears from men from Judah about the situation facing the remnant that ‘had escaped and had survived the captivity,’ Nehemiah 1:2. When he heard the sad state of affairs, Nehemiah wept and mourned. … Continue reading →

Author Interview: “Surprise Packages”

LDS authors Nancy Anderson, Lael Littke and Carroll Morris recently released the third book in their “The Company of Good Women” series. This much-anticipated volume, “Surprise Packages,” wraps up the stories of Erin, Willadene and Juneau as we see them solve some of the problems that have been afflicting them through the series, encounter new ones, and learn how to trust the Lord for all they need. I had the opportunity to interview these three authors about their writing. In a world where it seems that success is all that matters and money is king, I wondered how these ladies … Continue reading →
