Walk with Laura
At the end of a good Mother’s Day where I managed to cook a full dinner for the family paired with a cake that Bex made Laura invited me to go for a walk. I think she asked because of all the walking I have been doing in the last few weeks. Whatever the case…

Receiving guidance and insight
The Lord pointed me back to my old personal prayer roll from about 4 years ago. That will give me things to pray for consistently. I updated it to make it current. Then in elders quorum I received this insight after reading this scripture: After this, Elias appeared, and committed the dispensation of the gospel…

An effective day
I had a lot on my plate this morning and thankfully at the end of the day it feels like I got all the most important things done. In the evening I went to a training with Jan E. Newman (2nd Counselor in the Sunday School General Presidency) for church teachers. One Greek translation of…

A day of rest
After 2 days of running extra (movie, temple trip, and birthday party all in 26 hours) I finally chilled today. Now we have 2 days for the kids to acclimate to daylight savings time before they go back to school. Notes Brother Clemens said that when he forgets to read his Scriptures in the morning…

A potential way to serve
Perhaps a YSA ward bishopric would be a way to serve that would help me feel like I am able to benefit younger people. (I have long hoped to serve as a mission president for this reason but I am looking to identify other ways to possibly scratch that itch because I don’t want to…

Bits of insight
I didn’t realize before that John Davidson lost his brother the weekend after General Conference (I don’t think I heard about it until a couple of weeks afterward). I can imagine how that would change his perspective.

Who are we to define what is fair or just?
Interesting that Alma is correcting Corianton on thinking that some part of the plan of salvation was unjust. I had thoughts in Sunday School about how we are unqualified as children to define what is fair because we don’t have full knowledge of all the factors. that’s why we have to rely on parents to…
