Like many families, we try to get together for a few minutes each evening to read from the scriptures and hold a family prayer. This can get a little crazy some nights with all the different schedules. Tonight was one of those nights. You all know it was Curly’s birthday. By the time we finished his party, it was nearly 10:00. I had to enter my Tupperware order before midnight because some of the  Read More →

Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe that all of us are children of loving heavenly parents. We believe that God watches over us in life, and that He is there to listen to our prayers. Jesus Christ taught the example of praying to Heavenly Father earnestly and regularly. God is real. He loves us. He hears and answers prayers. We can know that He is real through feeling His Spirit in our hearts, and quiet inspiration in our minds. What experiences have helped you know God is real? Watch this video to hear several different people talk about their faith in God the Father. Read more about Mormon beliefs about God the Father.    Read More →

The Dog Walker was almost 13 the summer he learned to ride a two-wheeler. It was the same summer we tried for the umpteenth time to teach the Drama Queen to ride a bike. She tried her best, but after two or three falls and some nasty scrapes and bruises, she gave up and went in the house. Even the threat of losing her beloved Mustang wasn’t enough to get her to come back outside. That left just  Read More →

We arrived in the beautiful city of Idaho Falls on Wednesday and my bloggy friend, Patty, who actually LIVES here, sent us a list of activities. It’s kind of fun looking around at each and every face we see to try and spot someone we know from our list of followers. Sadly, we didn’t see her at any of our stops. We are now finishing up our third day of this insanity and I feel like a babbling  Read More →

Personal revelation is an important principle in the doctrine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It’s a topic Sister Julie B. Beck has talked a lot about when speaking to the women in the Church. In this Mormon Channel Relief Society program, Sister Beck responds to several women’s questions about how to receive and recognize personal revelation. What does personal revelation feel like? How do you know if answers are coming from God or they are just in your mind? How can you receive revelation when life is tiring and stressful? What if answers aren’t coming even after a lot of effort, scripture study, prayer, fasting, etc.? Is it OK to have questions? Hear what Sister Beck has to say in response to these and other questions. Hear her share things that have helped her learn to develop this ability to hear and recognize answers to prayers.  Read More →

An experiment was conducted by Wendy Watson Nelson.  For two weeks, she asked women to do a simple exercise, and the results were stunning.  Here’s what the women who participated in the experiment reported: An increased desire to de-junk their physical environments. A greatly reduced desire to watch TV. An increased desire to reach out to others and follow through on commitments. An increased desire to be kinder, gentler, and more patient. An increased desire to take care of their bodies by living the Lord’s law of health more fully. An increased ability to see how they could have handled situations better. An increased mental focus. An increased ability and desire to really study and learn. Old habits of backbiting, gossiping, and cynicalness falling away. A dramatic increase in their physical energy, because energy-draining negative emotions were gone. An unbelievable reduction in stress. Profound changes in their conversations with others. What would cause... Read the rest of this entry »

A car lurched from the Oklahoma country road into the highway. The driver didn’t stop at the stop sign. Instead, he stalled on the road a hundred yards in front of us. “Why doesn’t he get out of the way?” I asked from the middle of the front seat. Dad didn’t respond. He locked up the brakes and laid on the horn. Our late 1960’s American Rambler slid down the hill on screeching tires. Mother stopped talking mid-sentence in the back seat. She had just changed places with my sister and me a few miles back to talk with grandmother. I was in the middle of the front seat. My sister was to my right. Seatbelts? I can’t remember. Shoulder belts became law in 1968. I can tell you I wasn’t wearing one. Our California car probably crested the hill before the intersection doing 65 mph. Best guess from the photos looks like we hit the other car going 35 or 40. The impact pushed him into the ditch twenty to thirty feet past the crossing. Our car ended up on top of the stop sign. I remember... Read the rest of this entry »

~by Heather L. I LOVE the Women’s Conference concerts! I love the talks, and the service too, but my very favorite part is the concert! This year was no exception, except that this year it came as part of an amazing answer to prayers! You see, somehow getting kids out the door the morning of Women’s Conference is harder than almost any other day of the year. Seriously. I thought I had it all under control at my house, especially since one of my kids got up at 4:30am to do homework. Being up that early, I was sure I was ahead of the game. NOT! It seemed like everyone else got up in slow motion, or on the wrong side of the bed… or both. We were running behind, and patience was wearing thin. I took a deep breath of relief when the last one was finally off to school. Little did I know that one of my dear friends, Patti, was having a similar time getting her children off to school. She was so discouraged that she considered not even going to Women’s Conference. That was when the first... Read the rest of this entry »
