Decisions and choices
So in church today there were a few testimonies shared that touched on decisions and choices that I found interesting. First one was from a guy who shared a story that his dad used to always tell him. His dad grew up on a ranch and apparently one day he and 2 other people were…

I demanded a new apostle song, and they delivered!
So, as you may remember, back in December when Joseph B. Wirthlin died, I posted a “demand” for a new apostle song. I was actually surprised that more Mormon-themed blogs did not at least mention the fact that a new apostle song was needed. But in any case, this afternoon I got a comment on…

Sunday Sacrament meeting
So as I mentioned in my last post, we’ve been dealing with some kid sickness. Because I have meetings and such that I have to go to church anyways, I went by myself last week. Church is definitely interesting with the no-kid factor in there. So while I was sitting there in sacrament meeting, actually…

Return to Virtue
In my ongoing posts about General conference talks, this week was from Elaine S. Dalton (General Young Women President), called “Return to Virtue” I liked how she talked about how you get desensitized to things, whether it be sex, violence, or whatever. She also referenced Lehonti and Amalickiah up on the mountain (which I talked…

So in my continuing series of reading GC talks, I read one from Robert D. Hales (from Idaho!) – Christian Courage: The Price of Discipleship One of the things I liked about this talk was his talking about the perils in leaving “the high ground”. A lot of his talk focused on how to react…

Service
So…. as Carolyn pointed out last week, we here in Cincinnati got slammed last Sunday by the tail of Hurricane Ike. So we didn’t have much damage at our house, and unlike some people (who are STILL without power a week later), we only lost power for a few hours (we got it back just…

Blessings
So, one of the things that I would like to do on this blog is chronicle times in my life when I feel like I have felt the hand / influence of God in my life. I seem to recall hearing someone talking about this in church – for some reason I keep thinking it…

Are you ready for some football!!!?!?
I’m not. Well, I mean I guess I am. But not quite like I have been in previous years. I’ve always enjoyed football, and the past few years have spent most Sundays watching several games while following along with my fantasy teams. But, after a recent lesson on keeping the Sabbath Day holy, and some…
