The Trendiest Commandment

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all they heart and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. (Mark [...]

My Mormon Adult Beverage

Tonight I will take my journey to that remote, dry desert place where no man treadeth without warning: Girl’s Camp. Should I not survive, go on without me in peace and posterity and please keep watching “So You Think You Can Dance” . . . for me. People have been so kind. E-mails, phone calls, [...]

Happy Trails to Me and Me

Oh Segullah! It’s been so long since I’ve posted my heart here. Let’s reacquaint. I am c jane. You are Blog Segullah.

And Virtually No Labor Pains

Christopher took a life assessment last night. It basically asked him about what he values and the success of his career. Late last night as we were preparing for bed he described to me the assessment and we discussed some of his answers. The first page asked about what he valued. There were eighteen statements [...]

Consider a Bundle of Birdies

The point of this post is to tell you not to worry. Don’t worry about ___________. (Fill in the blank!) Because it will all work out. I know, because it always does. I mean it always does. Even when—especially when– it doesn’t look like it’s going to. It did today.

Celebrating the Celibate

A couple years ago my husband and I invited a friend of mine from Montreal over for dinner. She had come to BYU for the summer with a ward friend, John, who was also doing an internship at BYU. I asked my friend if John wanted to come to dinner as well. “No, he doesn’t [...]

Use Wikipedia Cautiously

Well here it is, the last week of school. A hot handful of eager eighteen-year-olds in my life are graduating on Thursday. I am nothing but a spectator, watching them take the giant leap from high school to adulthood. Doesn’t it seem appropriate then to blog away some words of wisdom? And who better to [...]

Choosing Sides

Tonight was all about picking sides. First, it was what to order at El Azteca. Vegetarian burrito or Vegetarian nachos? I like the burrito for the flavor and the nachos for the gastronomical journey. Nachos. Settled. Then it was off to join my father in watching the Jazz game, the Provo city council downtown alliance [...]

Trusting My Premortal Self

This very morning while perusing my favorite web new sources, I came across a picture of my favorite actress. I only knew it was her because of the caption underneath the photo. The image itself looked more like her skeleton. I rationalized her dramatic weight-loss on an upcoming role. I thought about it all day [...]

The PBS Follow Up

I just finished watching the PBS Documentary “The Mormons.” I think that it is our duty as Mormon bloggers to post about it. I say duty and I MEAN DUTY.

An Infomercial

Christopher is my husband. I call him Chup on my own blog. Anyway, Christopher (my husband) is a quiet guy, unless he is talking about high-end sports cars, but generally he keeps things on the down low.I, on the other hand, suffer from an Unquiet Heart and I “Go Tell It On the Mountian” to [...]

The Art of Self-Centeredness in Motherhood

First question people always ask me, “How many children do you have?” Second question people always ask me,”What was your mom’s secret to raising children?” She must’ve had a secret, she had nine babies and didn’t go insane. But if you ask her she’ll reply “I was just sent wonderful spirits! But I answer, “She [...]

Stop Murmur. Learn Doctrine. Do Crafts (if you want.)

As it turns out, our church doesn’t have any doctrine about crafts. I use crafts to describe anything in our LDS culture that isn’t backed by official gospel truth. Crafts (and the craft culture) are just optional and perhaps, unnecessary.

A Minivan Full

I loved President Faust’s talk about forgiveness this past Conference Weekend. His humble delivery made everyone put down the hashbrowns for a second and really listen.

The General Conference Post

Well I will tell you what, I just love a good Conference Weekend. I love a break from our regularly scheduled meetings. Having church from my step-down lounge is a very nice perk of being a Mormon. I always wear my General Conference Best Pajamas and wash all the General Conference Blankets in the house [...]
