Good morning! I share the following scripture likening experience in order to rejoice in the testimony of so many prophets that we can liken the scriptures unto our own lives. Even though Alma was asking in these five verses about the experience of a whole group of people, I felt invited to think of his […]
God’s Generosity Is to All
GOD’S GENEROSITY EXTENDS TO ALL WHO SEEK HIM WITH FAITH In James 1:5, we read that God gives wisdom to all men liberally who seek in faith. That designation of “all men” includes non-Mormons (much to some Mormons’ disbelief), but it also works the other way with equal truth. In other words, despite some non-Mormon’s […]
Genuine Sanity
The following sharing was an entry in my July 2003 journal. It is even truer for me today in the face of world and national events as well as aging and watching the challenges of my 11 children who are in their 30s and 40s. I mean, truly, mortality just keeps piling up and piling […]
In Christ All is Well
The Savior’s invitation to come unto Him as we are–weary and heavy laden, is repeated over and over in the all the scriptures. Still, the Book of Mormon goes further than invite us. The life stories of prophet after prophet model what it means, what it looks like, sounds like, feels like to “come unto […]
Another Comforter
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will […]
Seeking Counsel and Guidance
This morning I captured from Helaman 11:1-2. It reveals to me, yet again, how important it is to believe in and seek personal, direct counsel from God in dealing with the issues and challenges I face each day. Gratefully and humbly I post these thoughts here. Please, take what the Spirit confirms to your heart […]
A Parable of Atonement
In response to many requests for easy access to the section of Principle/Step Eight in He Did Deliver Me from Bondage, entitled, “The Parable,” I am posting it here and linking it to my Facebook page. Please feel free to share it wherever the Spirit moves you to do so. I’d love it if you […]
My Covenant with Christ
The Father having raised me up unto you first, and sent me to bless you in turning away every one of you from his iniquities; and this because ye are children of the covenant— (3 Nephi 20:26) I have seen so many people suffering from addiction who feel like they must be the scum of […]
One of His People
The Son will take upon him the sickness of His people. (Alma 7:11) Here it is again—the TRUTH that I don’t need to worry about how to heal myself of my sickness, my dis-ease, my illness, my weakness—my addictive-compulsive-obsessive behaviors. All I have to do is seek to be one of His people. I need to think […]
