  • Soon and Very Soon…

    “I must have the Savior indeed, for he is my All.  All that others have in the world and in religion and in themselves I have in thee — pleasures, riches, safety, honor, life, righteousness, holiness, wisdom, bliss, joy, gaiety… Continue reading

  • Pick-A-Chore Bucket

    I  r-e-a-l-l-y  like this idea!  My niece, Melissande, just posted this on Facebook; I think it was found on Pinterest.  I like this a lot because it makes the child responsible for the consequences of his actions and the child… Continue reading

  • The Loo

    As I cleaned my tubs today, I thought it might be time to humble myself and share my three-day process for cleaning my bathrooms (yes, three days).  I’ll leave it to my sisters to decide who I am talking about… Continue reading

  • Before the Throne of God Above

  • A Line in the Sand

    Today at church we had four baptisms.  Two of the boys have been reared in the church, but the other two, a man and a woman not related to each other, are from China.  Both spoke and were addressed through… Continue reading
