A conference about coming unto Christ could not be complete without messages about service.  Service is the lifeblood of His example to us and the ministry to which we all are called.  This class was a wonderful reminder of those principles.  I am grateful for the quiet voice of the Spirit that spoke to me […]

More great stuff from Women’s Conference! Sheri Dew was the speaker for the Thursday morning general session. As usual, she did amazing and was so inspiring! It seemed like everything she said was a “golden nugget” that I felt I needed to hear. These are some of the things that stood […]

“Therefore, hold up your light that it may shine unto the world. Behold I am the light which ye shall hold up—that which ye have seen me do.”
I have been reading 3Nephi this month, studying the time that Jesus was ministering to the people in the Americas after His resurrection.  What a treasure chest […]

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 […]

The parable of the talents…as with all of the Master’s parables there are endless lessons to learn from this story. The Spirit taught me a new one as I studied last week. The servant who is given five talents does a remarkable job with the talents the Lord gave him, returning ten when […]

Jesus’ teaching about the mote and the beam is familiar to all…one of those we have heard so many times that perhaps we don’t really understand its true application in our lives.   I […]

I just finished “the war era” in the Book of Mormon.  I found something this time that I hadn’t seen before, and I think it is a major theme in Alma, as well as in our own lives.
“But behold, because of the exceedingly great length of the wars between the Nephites and the Lamanites many […]

It is a story that never ceases to inspire. A compassionate Jesus Christ stands before thousands and thousands of followers who have lingered with Him to be fed with the spirit. With only a few loaves and fishes He looks to heaven, gives thanks, breaks the food and passes it to the multitudes. […]

“Yea, I say unto you come and fear not, and lay aside every sin, which easily doth beset you, which doth bind you down to destruction, yea, come and go forth, and show unto your God that ye are willing to repent of your sins and enter into a covenant with him to keep his […]
