I find so much meaning in the stories of Peter’s relationship with the Savior. I think it is because I feel so many Peter-like struggles in my own spiritual development. Would I have left all to follow Jesus? How would I have responded with the loaves and the fishes? Would I […]

“Wherefore, redemption cometh in and through the Holy Messiah; for he is full of grace and truth.”
I don’t believe that there is just one meaning to any of the words of God. Yet, as we study them again and again we come see His words and teachings from different angles because of where we […]

The Lord has been molding my husband and I in the past year to understand a divine principle that is changing our lives–a principle that though we grew up in gospel-centered homes was somehow missing. It is the principle of what it means to be a help-meet, what it means to be equal partners.

Sometimes I wish I had a crystal ball, or maybe one of those Magic 8 balls so I could find answers to some of those life questions that continue to elude me.  I am the kind of person that doesn’t like to wait to open Christmas presents or birthday presents.  When I am curious about […]

The second point I want to pull from this paper has to do with being a help-meet for the men in our lives. I have occasionally said, sometimes in […]

These thought are based on a paper by David C. Dollahite, Alan J. Hawkins, and Sean E. Brotherson entitled, Narative Accounts, Generative Fathering, and Family Life Education.
This paper is about “narratives,” which simply are the stories people tell about their own experiences and the meaning they attach to those experiences. The paper focuses specifically […]

This site is the fruit of a husband, brother, and sister who believe that I have something worth sharing with the world. The Lord has been hard at work in my soul in the past few years. Through the mix of challenges and blessings that life has provided, and with the invaluable companionship […]
