Good morning brothers and sisters, what a beautiful day this is. I feel blessed and humbled to have the opportunity to speak with you today. I can only imagine the thoughts that crossed Brother Richards’ mind last week when he called me and I didn’t answer the phone. To be fair, I didn’t recognize the […]
My Journey to Be One With Christ
Good morning, brothers & sisters. I have opted to forgo the usual introduction new ward members offer and dive right into my talk. I pray that as I do so, the Holy Ghost will be with us all, opening our hearts to hear the words that our Father in Heaven would have us hear. I […]
Finding Me…Again
It seems it has been years since I last really wrote anything here. Though it hasn’t been years it has been a very long time. You see, I have felt I needed to post something for a while and I haven’t. As I sat here to begin, I wasn’t sure what to title this post. […]
How Can Jesus Christ Help Me Change Individually
Good morning brothers & sisters, my dear friends. I pray that as I speak the spirit may be with each of you, I pray also that the spirit may be with me, that I may convey the words to you our Father in Heaven would have me share with you today. I was excited to […]
Rebuilding-Old Things Made New in Christ

Change-September 12,2019

I have gone from this person who wanted nothing to do with religion and have been reborn, almost completely. I see the Atonement taking hold of me, my heart, and my life and transforming it all into […]
Dream of My Dad- August 8, 2017
It was while fixing my hair this morning that I recalled that I had a dream last night. I remember only one thing about this dream and nothing more. I don’t recall what was going on, who was involved or why; this is all I remember, my dad is ready to have his work done. […]
The Reason for Pain-June 21, 2017
Our pain is a reason for us to believe. It gives us hope for something better, something more. My pain has made me a believer. It was in losing it all that I gained the most. It is where I found my faith. (Matthew 28:18-20 FHE studying-Faith to Reap) In reading about the 2nd principle […]
Gratitude in Everything-The Lincoln logs of Life
This was a lesson I prepared for the Young Women back in November. As I was preparing for this lesson, reading various scriptures & the lesson material there was something that seemed to stick out to me. That was the phrase “gratitude in all things”. That caused me to really think. We all know what […]
