Last night we had a great family home evening by Becky that was based on what she had learned in her Relief Society class on Sunday. The topic was “The Last Week of Christ’s Life.” It was interesting to talk about the things he did and how that would relate to what I would want […]

Today could have been a really rough day for the “Carnal Nate:” I had an early meeting with Karen, then a meeting with Stan, then Becky was getting her hair done so she needed me to pick up Jayden in Lindon and take him home to take a nap. Initially, I was a bit bugged […]

Yesterday was a tougher day for me: I went camping on Friday night and had a great time with the scouts. When I cam back on Saturday, I was tired and felt vulnerable. I went to pick up Chloe at dance practice and the Festival of Colors is happening at the Hindu temple on the […]

I noted the other day some questions I had about my recovery: Am I studying the scriptures the way I feel Heavenly Father would want me to study them? Am I communicating well with God in prayer? How am I doing in submitting my will to God? What am I doing to submit my will […]

Last night, when I was studying and writing, I had these questions come to mind in assessing my recovery: Am I studying the scriptures the way I feel Heavenly Father would want me to study them? Am I communicating well with God in prayer? How am I doing in submitting my will to God? What […]

Today was a pretty good day. I communicated with my sponsee and got quite a bit done for work. I had meetings early in the morning, which threw off my schedule for studying, and then when I could have made time to study in the middle of the day, I justified working on other things. […]

It talked about how Saul changed to Paul and dedicated his life to Christ. It talked about other people who made changes in their lives that helped them see […]

I’ve done a few things this morning that I feel good about: 1. I created two forms on this site to make it easy for daily accountability: Morning & Evening 2. I read about charity in family relations. Elder Eyring said this: “We must find a way to lead people to a faith that they […]

I want to study more today about how Christ taught in parables and why. In verse 10 of Matthew 13, the disciples ask him this very question: Why speakest thou unto them in aparables? Christ answers: 11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the amysteries of the kingdom […]

Today I’m going to study Lesson 11 from the New Testament manual. It’s the upcoming lesson, and I thought it’d be fun to look it over before I actually go to the class. The title of the lesson is “He Spake Many Things Unto Them In Parables.” The first part of the lesson, Matthew 13:3-8, […]
