Let me know if you don’t get yours…

Summer’s Here and the Reading is easy

I need some help.

Mad Pride

There are people in various places in my life with mental illnesses. There are a also couple of people I love with autistic children, some with ADHD, some others with various developmental delays. So it was with keen interest that I read the following article. Then, only a day later, I read this. A quick [...]

Happy Day

Today I’m feeling the love of the Lord. A broad smile greeted me this morning as I woke to the sound of my toddler running down the hall toward my bedroom for a morning hug. I know he Lord has promised, “He who receiveth all things with thankfulness shall be made glorious” (D&C 78:19), and [...]

My Mother is Better Than Your Mother

Some years ago, the drama of neighborhood relationships played out in a very public place – Mother’s Day Sacrament meeting.

Drawing Upon the Powers of Heaven

There have been times in my life when the Spirit spoke to me in powerful and audible tones. I actually heard a voice once tell me to “GO DOWNSTAIRS” when my two year old started a fire in our basement a few years ago. I have had strong and specific impressions about exact choices to [...]

The Entertainment Industry

I’ve attended some doozie Enrichment meetings in my time. And some pretty ‘out-there’ Homemaking meetings before that. I’ve watched magicians, painted little bunnies, watched people teach me how to cook, clean, budget, crochet, sew, can, change the oil, change a filter, change a $20. I watched a speaker once do a ‘strip-tease’ as some warped [...]

Shiny New Things

Ten years ago, we bought a white car. It was used, but not ‘beat-up’, and we’ve had it ever since. Last month, our trusty van had it’s 20th in a long series of car problems, and we delivered it up to car heaven. We were on the hunt for a new car.

Help!

Alright, I’m completely hijacking this blog to set up my own personal advice council. I’ll admit that I’m completely lazy, and in February, the Christmas wreath was still on the front door: One day, in late February, we noticed some twigs and straw stuck in the wreath. Hmmmm, strange, how’d that get there? Oh, wait…It’s [...]

Alone

Never before have I imagined in great detail the events as unfolded to me by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland last Sunday afternoon in the last session of General Conference.

Fabulous Words of Wisdom

If you’re surfing around looking for something uplifting, edifying, inspirational, and challenging, get off the computer and go watch General Conference! We can talk about it later. Oh, and we will.

See Jane Run

I am a runner. I get up to run every morning at 5:30 with my faithful friend. We pound out the steps in the inky blue blackness, watching the sky start to lighten over the eastern mountains. During the summer, the suns rays will shoot over the mountain top toward the western valley, but we [...]

House of Cards

Back in college, I’m sure there were sad and terrible things that happened around me; I was oblivious to it. I was filled with what many bitterly call the “arrogance of youth”. I saw pain and suffering from a well-buffered distance. A girl in our apartment complex was killed in a car accident, and I [...]

Critical

I often am very selfish. I want things to be my way, I want to keep control. I find that in many things, I prefer to do it alone because I have total creative control over the outcome (the hall closet is organized in the ‘correct’ way because I did it, the bed looks right [...]

Mormon Idol

How do you feel about Mormon Pop Stars? Have you ever been to a church meeting to find one ‘making the circuit’?
