The Year My Son and I Were Born

About two years ago, I started trolling around various LDS blogs.  Some were interesting, some were funny, and some were heavily doctrinal.  There was one author I came across a number of times, and I was impressed with a number of things about her:  she used her full name (a rarity in the world of [...]

Tolerating the Intolerable

There is a woman who walks into my house every morning at 7:00 am.  Sometimes she goes into my kitchen and makes herself a cup of coffee.  She uses my bathroom, helps herself to dishes in my kitchen, puts dirty laundry in my hamper, and pulls linens out of my linen closet.  She reads the [...]

The Segullah Christmas Gift Guide

Christmas is fast approaching.  You have made your list, checked it twice, and are now comfortably settling in for a sugar-induced haze with a cup of hot cocoa and some Christmas goodies.  But wait!  You are startled out of your reverie when you realize that you have missed someone…that friend that gave you a gift [...]

Flex Your Writing Muscle!

Are you a literary diamond in the rough?  Do you have deep, meaningful thoughts, but nowhere to share them?  Were you an English major, creative writing enthusiast, closet poetess, or wannabe novelist in your past life (i.e. before children)?  Do you want to connect with other LDS women in a framework of shared beliefs and [...]

“…All These Things Give Thee Experience and Shall Be for Thy Good.” — Doctrine and Covenants 122:7

This scripture has always bothered me.  It brings to my mind the image of a parent disciplining his child and saying, “This is for your own good!  Someday you’ll thank me for this!”  I thought of Joseph, alone, cold, starving in jail, missing his wife and his children, pleading to the Lord for the welfare [...]

Read a Book, Don’t Eat Horse Poop

Emily lives in the South with her husband and two children. She writes under a pseudonym because she loves to vent but is deathly afraid of offending people. Someday she will write the great American novel and hopefully have the guts to use her own name. I’ve got book club drama and no clue how [...]

Obsession…I Mean, Intense Focus

Like millions of others around the globe, I was entranced with the Olympics this year. Each night, I sat down to several hours of TiVo’d events, marveling at the athletic spectacle. Almost as much as I enjoyed seeing athletes compete, I enjoyed watching the athletes themselves – their toned, muscular bodies competing at the highest [...]

My Life is a Reality Show

The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that in attempting to measure the position of a particle the position of the particle becomes uncertain – that making a measurement alters the particle being measured. A corollary to this is the Observer’s Paradox, which states that the observation of an event or experiment is influenced by the presence [...]

Living with Dying, Part II

My 6 year old son, E, suffered a brain injury at birth. Due to this injury, he has cerebral palsy with epilepsy, blindness, serious developmental delays and a host of other medical problems. He’s very susceptible to respiratory infections. I wrote about him in “Living with Dying” for Segullah several months ago. For the past [...]

And Mary Kept All Things

Every year at Christmas, I ponder about the birth of Savior, but I also think about His mother, Mary.
