“Because I Live, Ye Shall Live Also” By Elder Shayne M. Bowen
Wow, this article was really touching. This is the one C heard and started crying. It’s about losing a loved-one, in this case, a child of 8 months old. One of the things I love most about this article is what it says about the “plain and precious truths of the Gospel of Jesus Christ […]

How LDS Funerals Give Me Hope

Preparing for LDS General Conference with Kids
General Conference is coming up again. B and I have been thinking about how we can best help the kids get the most out of conference, be reverent, and not have to micro-manage them the whole time. In the past we’ve created a big board and given them each stickers to run up and put […]
How Honesty & Agency Work Together
Obviously I’ve been thinking a lot about agency and honesty lately due to the experiences we’ve been having with Mandy. I decided to start my study today by looking up Agency in the Topical Guide.
