Spreading Sunshine and Sharing Faith
With his permission, I have been sharing an ongoing conversation over the past few posts with someone whom I have been calling Jim. Jim is still having trouble accepting anything other than the Bible as the word of God. I thought that our conversation was over after my last response, but he writes, "I would... Continue Reading →
Jim writes, "Proverbs 30:6 says, 'Do not add to his words, or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar' (NIV).

There should be no disparity in the Word of God. One Word, one God." Jim, There are also many contradictions within the Bible itself. Here are some... Continue Reading →

Here is a video we put together to share why the Gospel of Jesus Christ is important to our family. https://youtu.be/VMGmP4sT-VQ We live in Port Angeles, Washington. We are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We were asked by the missionaries here in Port Angeles, Elder Kartchner and Elder Smith, to... Continue Reading →
We were asked to sing I Believe In Christ to share with our church congregation virtually on Easter Sunday since there is a stay-at-home mandate due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Xavier was not too happy about it, but for the very first take, he did great. I would have re-recorded it once I saw that... Continue Reading →
