Beyond

by 14 Comments

I was far beyond the power of prayer, I said, past any fervent plea or desperate hope. I stood within a place of solemn dread – A black, sad land no wider than one soul, my own. Yet, in that narrow way there crept, somehow a murmured sound, A throb of thought that whispered “pray”. […]

Becoming More

There has been so much swirling around in my head the past few weeks that I’m surprised I haven’t dropped over from dizziness. I’ve been on autopilot since the holidays. Or survival mode. Whatever you want to call it. We had a wonderful holiday break! So much so that I totally forgot about “the list,” […]

Joy in Service

by Leave a Comment

The time has finally come. Our church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is a lay ministry. No one is paid for their service. We believe we are called by revelation from our church leaders to serve in various capacities in our local congregations. These ‘callings’ (what we call these service opportunities) can […]

Christmas break was so much fun! It started when Marie came home from college. Then my brother, Pere, and his wife, Jeanne, came to visit. We had a blast building gingerbread houses and playing games. Lots and lots of games. Christmas Eve the three oldest and Joseph and I served at the community soup kitchen […]

We found we’d be gaining a new family member. A son-in-law it was going to be, Patrick became engaged to Eve! February brought […]

We received a fun Christmas package last week from Covenant Books with books, dvds, and even a tiny but beautiful statue of Christ. Each item has focused our attention even more on the true meaning of Christmas. First is the three inch marble Christus statue. It is the perfect size for little hands to hold […]

Christmas Almost Lost

by 4 Comments

The following is an excerpt that was printed in the December 2015 LDS Living Magazine about a special Christmas that occurred to Juliana Perkins Luke when she lived in Panaca, NV. I am posting it here because of the family legacy of kindness and thoughtfulness that is shown. It is a great addition to my […]

Christmastime this year

by 2 Comments

Christmas, Christmastime is here! We’ve been enjoying the usual traditions. We went and got a real tree today! The girls decided they wanted to decorate this one with natural ornaments. Dried orange slices, cinnamon stick bundles, and popcorn and cranberry strings make it feel old-fashioned and homey. #Christmas A photo posted by Montserrat Wadsworth (@cranialhiccups) […]
