Teach all nations that Jesus is the Christ – the Son of the Living God…” It is the will of our Father in Heaven that this work moves forward. This is His Gospel; He stands at the head…He lived for us and He died for us because He loves us. Preparing for General Conference I’m […]

Preparing for General Conference April 2012
I wrote recently about the importance of preparing for LDS General Conference. As part of that process, I’ve decided to read some of the articles from the April 2011 General Conference. The other night I read “An Ensign to the Nations” by Elder Holland. I could summarize this article in one simple title: “Why we […]
Preparing for General Conference
General Conference for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is coming up this weekend. Becky and I had family council last night and said one of our goals for the week is to make that weekend special. So, I’ve been thinking about how I can make it the most special. One thing that […]
Is Sharing Mormon Beliefs Online Ok?
What’s becoming a recurring theme on Facebook happened again yesterday (I may sort of ask for it): I posted this: I’ve been told Mormons worship a “different Jesus”. This is the Jesus we worship as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4A73DDEE675FBC39 – Hope this helps clarify who we look to […]
The Blessing of Children
I read a great article the other day about how dad’s treat their kids and it hit home – I need to be nicer to my kids, especially Caleb. So with that thought in mind, I decided to read the article today titled “Children” by Elder Neil L. Anderson of the Twelve. “If you are […]
Missionary Work and Perfect Love
The other night I had a great study about the Restoration and the Apostasy. I’m grateful for the words of both ancient and modern day prophets to help clarify and guide me through life’s challenges. Today I’m going to study the talk from the October 2011 General Conference by L. Tom Perry titled “Perfect Love […]
Why We Need Prophets and the Restoration of the Gospel
I’m not going to say too much more about this topic, but I received ANOTHER message from my friend Luke tonight. I didn’t even read it – had Becky read it out loud to me, but the gist was him asking me what I thought a false prophet was. I’d already stated to him that […]
Studying the Words of Modern-Day Prophets
I’m doing something different today: instead of setting a TON of goals, I’ve broke them down into 2 goals at a time with a specific timeline. Then, when I get those two done, I’ll set two more. One of the things that really gets in the way of my goals is Facebook. Another close 2nd […]
My Addiction Recovery Plan This Week
This week is going to be a good one. This week I’m going to submit my will to God in everything that I do. This week I’m going to WORK THE PROGRAM. Working the Program means reading from the manual, answering at least one question per day, and studying the scriptures in conjunction with the […]
Common Misconceptions about Mormons
I have had some fun and interesting experiences in the past 6 months or so with Facebook religious encounters. Obviously the Luke conversation was one that started the whole debate off. Then Brian R. chimed in a bit (although he didn’t seem to be arguing as much as just wondering); then LeRoy, who, like Brian, […]
