Solving the Parenting Puzzle of Balance with Knowledge
This blog is the second in a series of four. In the last blog, I suggested that finding a balance between too strict or too lenient parenting can be found in the words and examples of God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. Finding the balance is not only important...
Prayer…The Doorway to Peaceful Sleep
When I was a little girl I used to have the most terrifying nightmares, every night. It got to the point where I would do anything to be able to avoid sleep. My parents, not knowing about the nightmares, thought that I was just trying to stay up late. So they made the...
Did the Ancient Mayans Believe in Christ?
Los libros de historia dicen que el cristianismo fue introducido en los mayas por los españoles invasores. No creo que esto sea necesariamente cierto. Si nos fijamos en sus obras de arte y tradiciones, se puede ver que ellos conocieron a Cristo. No siempre lo...
Playing With Fire
There is a topic that has weighed heavily upon my mind and heart for the past few weeks. I have some dear friends whom I fear are playing with fire. The worst part is that they either don't realize or won't accept that they are. What am I talking about? I am talking...
Heavenly Father Knows Me
I've been thinking lately about my relationship with Heavenly Father. Not from my view point, but from His. When we make covenants with God and become disciples of Christ we become His. It carries a weight of responsibility to act in a manner that is pleasing to God....
The Preservation of a Sacred Record
Yesterday, I talked a little bit about the ways in which the Mayans first knew, and then corrupted the gospel of Jesus Christ. Today, I'll talk about how this came about. It's a story of sacred records that starts in Jerusalem. Lehi was a prophet living in Jerusalem...
Creating a Family of Disciples
Our family is one of God's greatest gifts to us. It can be a source of joy for us, or pain. It is something that is dear to our hearts so as disciples of Jesus Christ, the first place we should carry His name is into our homes. "The Family: A Proclamation to the...
Teens: Jesus has Risen!
Early in the morning on the day after the Sabbath a mighty work was at hand. We know nothing of what occurred inside the Garden Tomb, testifying of the sacredness of the actual event, only that soon afterward the earth shook and two angels rolled away the great stone...
Cleansed Through the Blood of Christ
In today's society, blood often symbolizes death and violence. But in the scriptures, blood symbolizes life. Think about it: Together with many other miracles that take place in the human body, blood gives us life. It feeds us, bringing needed nutrients and oxygen to...
What good friends can do
1 Pedro 1:25 dice "Pero siempre la palabra del Señor permanece. Y esta es la palabra que por el evangelio es predicado a que "La historia de hoy es la conversión de Don Busenbark.: Mi familia no asistió a ninguna de servicios de la iglesia crecía. Recuerdo que fui a...
Weak Things Made Strong
We all have Weaknesses, or things that we don't like about ourselves. Throughout our lives we constantly seek to overcome these weaknesses. Yet, the more we focus on our weaknesses, the worse they seem to get in an ever downward spiral. No matter what we ourselves try...
The Better Part
This Easter Season, I have spent much time contemplating the record in the New Testament about the interactions, and teachings of our Savior Jesus Christ. This morning I have spent time pondering the story of Mary and Martha, and how it applies to us Single Adults...
Financial Stewardships
I have been blessed in knowing how to be wise in my financial stewardships. I learned how to be from my parents when I was still a small child. My parents taught me to be both imaginative and industrious in finding honest ways to earn money while growing up. Once I...
Restoration and Resurrection
Have you ever thought to yourself: My life will be so much better and therefore I’ll behave so much sweeter as soon as (fill in the blank) happens? I’m sure we all have at times. As we all eventually find out, that perfect tomorrow never arrives, and we will always...
Teens: The Burial of Jesus Christ
There are two men in particular to thank for the proper, though hurried, burial of our Savior. If it weren’t for these two men Christ’s body would have been treated the same way as any other Jewish convicted criminal: tossed into a common grave. This was not a burial...
Your New Religious Traditions
A new convert once asked if it was okay to continue some of the religious practices she had enjoyed in her previous religion. They didn’t conflict in any way with our own doctrines or practices; they were simply a comfort and a tradition, particularly those related to...
The Gifts of Eternity
My mother died today, early Easter morning. As I sit here reading over the Easter lesson I had intended to teach today, I realize more than ever how personal the Savior’s gift to us is. I’m sad and crying, naturally. But it’s tears for me, not my mother. Today,...
Chat online with a real missionary!
I recently heard about a fun feature on the Church’s web site www.mormon.org They have an area where you can chat live online with a real missionary. I thought I’d check it out, so I clicked on the link and instantly received a greeting from a guy named Josiah. He was...
Don’t pass over Passover!
You’re not Jewish? No Jewish heritage in your family or even on your neighborhood block? That’s ok; you can still enjoy the rich cultural and religious history of the Passover by creating a learning experience for your family at home! It’s a wonderful tradition, full...
Joseph Smith And Easter
This Sunday is Easter. Christians everywhere will pause and reflect upon the central point of their theology: the resurrection and the redemption of Jesus Christ. In this spirit, the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called...
