Making music
I have always loved music. I used to play around with a double cassette recorder adding different sounds and singing to mix my own music. I was never trained in music and I don’t play any instruments, but I have been able to learn enough to sing in our ward (church) choir and have evenContinueContinue reading “Making music”
The secret about the Book of Mormon
I was raised in the faith of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. My grandmother always had the Book of Mormon on the end table next to her chair so she could read it every day. It was well marked and worn. I saw her read it often. I had my personal copyContinueContinue reading “The secret about the Book of Mormon”

Notre Dame, Easter and the hope of resurrection
We’ve all received shocking news. Yesterday seeing images of Notre Dame in Paris with flames shooting out of the roof was shocking. This morning I received a phone call notifying me that someone very dear to me had passed away.

Unexpected trip to Paris
Often my posts are serious. I might write about something that I’ve been pondering for quite some time before I put it into words. Occasionally however, they are humorous, like my post on finding a Diet Coke in France. This one is a little more on the light side and it’s just a memory that IContinueContinue reading “Unexpected trip to Paris”
