I Walked Today Where Jesus Walked
I walked today where Jesus walked. Though my weary feet do not walk the desert Judean paths He traversed, they do walk a path of service. I am reminded of this as I pass by The Living Christ hanging in our hallway. Some of the words echo in my ears, “He walked the roads of […]

Dining With the Prophets Cookbook {Giveaway}
Food. So many traditions are tied to it. The smell of certain dishes cooking can conjure up memories of bygone days. Recipes passed down through generations ties families together. Many times food defines a culture. For Mormons, especially those with pioneer ancestors, just mention the Lion House and you are more than likely to hear, […]

Courage. . .Brings the Smile of God’s Approval
Back in April during General Conference there seemed to be a theme of having faith and courage to live as a disciple of Jesus Christ. Just look at the titles of the first three talks: The Cost—and Blessings—of Discipleship, The Joyful Burden of Discipleship, and Christ the Redeemer. In studying the conference talks again I came upon this […]
Cherish That Role That is so Uniquely Yours – Motherhood
The most service I ever do is my day in and day out work as a mother. Tending to the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of children can be physically, emotionally, and spiritually exhausting. Just this morning after helping the children with school, talking to a high school counselor, and doing some laundry, I held […]

The Book of Mormon Translation Challenge
Most of the time my scripture study takes the slow and steady route. I might read a whole chapter in one sitting or I might decided to read only a verse or two and study just those verses, pondering and cross-referencing to other scriptures. Starting on Monday I’ll be reading the Book of Mormon in […]
Sunday Classics
About a month or so ago my friend, Stephanie, shared this talk, Even As I Am, by Mark E. Petersen given at General Conference back in 1982. Elder Petersen was addressing the women of the church and showing through many examples how Christ honors womanhood. The talk is also a call to action! “We worship […]
One Little Match {Book Review}
If you were to ask my kids, “What is one story you remember from General Conference?” Almost all of them would answer, “When Pres. Monson talked about lighting a fire when he was a boy.” The book One Little Match expounds on the story adding more details about the boy Thomas S. Monson and his […]
I stand firm in my support of traditional marriage
(Frederick Morgan, Off for the Honeymoon) Over the Christmas break there were some major happenings in Utah about same-sex marriage. One judge – one – overturned the voters in Utah to legalize same-sex marriage. That judge refused a stay on the order as did a circuit court. The Supreme Court did issue a stay. Now […]
Reclaimed
Last week while Mr. Ferrero Rocher and I traveled to and from Utah I brought along Pres. Boyd K. Packer’s new book, In Wisdom and Order, to read aloud. It’s a collection of speeches and addresses he’s made in the past half century. Anyway, I’d just open the book to a random chapter and start […]
Have I Done Any Good?
There are so many days when I feel as if I have failed. Nothing seems to go right. By the end of the day the to-do list has increased exponentially and somehow nothing even got crossed off. All day long I hear, “Mom! He’s poking me!” or “Mom! Do you know where I put my […]
