Spreading Sunshine and Sharing Faith
There is a painting in the entry of our home. Every now and then as I am passing by, I will stop and look at it. It is a painting of my two eldest children, Julienne and Maggie. The painting is of them running down a trail in Port Angeles, on one of our many... Continue Reading →
I feel that I can do better in recording spiritual experiences. I’ve felt a bit of writer’s block since the pandemic started. I think that it might be because of the many things weighing on my mind; from the health of my mother who lives in Utah and who's had some health challenges during the... Continue Reading →
(My response to someone self-described as "blue hair, asymmetrical nose piercings, gay, and identifies as Agnostic") I like your writing style. I hope that you really don't think that all "Mormons" are bad. Just like any group of people, you'll get all kinds. I think that even though I'm a faithful church-going, (well, at least...

That there is nothing that we can do on earth, no "good deed," that will make us deserve or achieve eternal life?"Yes, Jim. I believe that. I am... Continue Reading →
With his permission, I have been sharing an ongoing conversation over the past few posts with someone whom I have been calling Jim.
