What am I going to do today to prepare for General Conference as an addict? I’m not sure the preparation is much different than for a “normal” person, but where I’m trying to live a new normal, maybe there are things I should try differently. When I went to LDS.org, this caption seemed to be an […]
Studying “If Ye Love Me, Keep My Commandments”
Today has started off pretty well. I went to play basketball this morning and invited Adam with me. We had a great time and I felt good about how I played overall. I definitely am not in the shape I was once in. My whole body seems to ache after playing. But, I’m glad I […]
How Can I Best Deal with the Stresses of Life Effectively?
I’m really stressed today about all the things I have to do and the fact that we’re leaving tomorrow for the rest of the week on a trip with the kids. I have the following things on my mind: NW fixes Vision fixes Absolute fixes Red Zone work DEP doc A La Mode work Evans […]
How I Can Help Eliminate Contention in the Home
Contention – this is something that was prevalent when I was fully engaged in addictive actions. What is contention? What causes it? Why does Satan want us to have contention in our home? Why did the Savior warn about contention when he visited the people of Nephi? What are things I can do to help […]
General Conference October 2013 Morning Session
I’m excited to watch conference with the kids. (I just saw Randy Jensen singing in the choir!) We’ve all made questions that we’ll be listening for during conference. Here they are: Caleb’s Questions: Why do people wander away from the path? Why is Satan so evil? Madi’s Questions: How can I improve my talents? How […]
The Words We Speak by Rosemary M. Wixom
One of the greatest influences a person can have in this world is to influence a child. Children’s beliefs and self-worth are shaped early in their lives. Everyone within the sound of my voice has the power to increase a child’s confidence in himself or herself and to increase a child’s faith in Heavenly Father […]
Is Faith in the Atonement of Jesus Christ Written in our Hearts by Sister Linda K Burton
Unfortunately I didn’t do as well as I would have liked to with my six month challenge to read a General Conference talk. However, the time hasn’t completely passed yet so I thought I’d study a talk today titled “Is Faith in the Atonement of Jesus Christ Written in Our Hearts?” Before looking at the […]
Of Regrets and Resolutions by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Well, another four years starts today. President Barrack Obama was re-elected and Mitt Romney was defeated last night. Yes, I feel disappointed but I don’t feel the world is going to end. That’s about all I’m going to say about the presidential stuff… My days lately haven’t been as great as I’d like: I have […]
“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 […]
An Unspeakable Gift from God by Elder Craig C. Christensen
My topic of study today will be about the talk from Elder Craig C. Christensen titled An Unspeakable Gift from God. I can’t remember for sure, but it seems like this was the talk where my little C (7) started crying. I feel this section is the most touching of the entire talk (at least […]
