My Dad
Who would you like to talk to soon? I wish I could talk with my dad. He was so great to talk with. He could talk about anything! I particularly enjoyed our conversations about God, creation, where we came from, and dinosaurs. He was a bit of a deep thinker. I like deep thinkers who…

Do you have a Question?
James chapter 5 in the New Testament in the Bible reminds us that if we have questions about the Gospel (or anything else, really) we can pray and ask God for the answer. He will give us the answers are seeking, if we simply ask. James 1:5 (KJV) – If any of you lack wisdom,…

November Craziness
I love November! Halloween, probably my least favorite holiday, is over. It is a beautiful time of year with the lovely colors of the changed leaves against the background of an often bubblegum pink and blue sky as the sun sets in the west. It is a wonderful time of year to reflect on all…

Firsts, Fumbles, and Faith
This blogger’s thoughts hits home for me and gives me hope, as I, too, have a chronic illness. I look forward with great anticipation to the quality people President Trump will pull together for his cabinet while serving his second and final term. I have some observations on the election. It’s neither celebratory nor mournful,…

The Funeral
My thoughts as the funeral is taking place today: A snapshot of life….we all in this chapel share this moment in time at the funeral of my coworker’s teenage son. As we listen to the heartfelt tributes and memories, through tears and moments of laughter, together as friends, family, and even complete strangers, it is…

We have the opportunity to listen to the voice of our prophet and apostles. Every time I listen to and/or watch the semi-annual conference of the Church of Jesus Christ…

Serendipity
Last night, Joe and I took a last-minute drive east of town. We captured this beautiful sunset over the Sawtooth mountains to the west. The narrow horizontal line in the middle of the image is the Snake River meandering through town, catching the reflection of the setting sun. I love moments like this!!

He gave them authority to cast out evil spirits…

Things Could Always Be Worse
My husband and I are reading a book together. I am reading it aloud. He is listening intently. We are discussing it as we go. I remember hearing about it not long after it was published again in 1992. It was first published in 1962. The book is called “Man’s Search for Meaning” by Viktor…

Quote of the Day
“It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.” -Thomas Sowell This was a quote shared by one of my coworkers at work this past week. It seems like it could be a good response to some of the blogs I have read about the non-existence of God. 🙂 The deeper…

One Question
The speaker in church today shared a question that he was asked a few years ago while he was serving a two year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ. He, in turn, asked the congregation, “If you were to meet God, our Father in Heaven, face to face, what is the one question you…
