Not long ago I stumbled across a 2010 address given to a university entitled “Education, A Religious Responsibility” by Russell M. Nelson, MD. In his talk, he points out that when we die we leave all material wealth behind. The only thing we will take with us is the knowledge we’ve acquired. Thus, our continuingContinue reading “WISDOM”

An Informed Mind 2
How does the Holy Ghost speak to me? After baptism, a person is confirmed and told in that blessing to “receive the Holy Ghost”. This – receiving the Holy Ghost is a choice we make each day as we strive to live worthy of His companionship and then choose to listen to His soft impressions.(2) Elder David A.Continue reading “An Informed Mind 2”
An Informed Mind
As a parent and grandparent I want to teach my family what matters most. Understanding that each person is a Child of God who has divine potential is an important concept.

Day of Thanksgiving!
Sincerely giving thanks not only helps us recognize our blessings, but it also unlocks the doors of heaven and helps us feel God’s love. (Thomas S. Monson) At times I reflect on how difficult it is to bring a newborn into this world. They are without a doubt a lot of work, demanding sleepless nightsContinue reading “Day of Thanksgiving!”
Temples!
Temples have always been a part of Heavenly Father’s church on the earth. In fact, the Garden of Eden is considered to be a type of temple, and was the first dwelling place of Adam and Eve – Heavenly Father’s first children. As Adam and Eve walked with God in the garden, He taught themContinue reading “Temples!”
