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 theContinue reading “I can do better”

25 Years is a Long Time!
Today is my 25th wedding anniversary. So happy 25th Anniversary Jen! I made this little video from our original wedding video which was over an hour long. We’ve had an incredible 25 years which has taken us from Provo, Utah, to Springville, Utah, to Almere, The Netherlands, to St. Ives, England, to Springville, Utah, toContinue reading “25 Years is a Long Time!”
Special day of prayer and fasting
I submitted this to the Peninsula Daily News but I guess they decided not to publish, so I thought I’d share it here. I’m 49 years old. In my lifetime, the closest thing that I can relate to today’s COVID-19 pandemic, is 9-11. The world as we knew it had changed. The loss of lifeContinue reading “Special day of prayer and fasting”
The Perilous Times of COVID-19
It sure seems like we are living in the last days. A short time ago I had not heard of the coronavirus or COVID-19 as it is now called. We weren’t thinking of global pandemics. We were thinking about what to do for our 25th anniversary. A cruise? A trip whale watching? A getaway toContinue reading “The Perilous Times of COVID-19”
Crepes on Fast Sunday
The first Sunday of each month is usually a “Fast Sunday”. As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we fast for two meals, meaning we do not eat or drink for those two meals. It might be breakfast and lunch on that Sunday for example. We take the money that weContinue reading “Crepes on Fast Sunday”
Testimonies of the Book of Mormon – Joshua
My series continues today with another testimony of a family member. As I had said in the previous blog, some of my family members had written down their testimonies of the Book of Mormon while I was a missionary in France. These testimonies were given to me, I then translated them into French and hand-wroteContinue reading “Testimonies of the Book of Mormon – Joshua”
Inside the temple of the Lord
As a follow up to my post on temples, this video explains what happens inside the temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It’s a great follow up to my Mountain of the Lord post. I was able to see some of the stained glass for the Rome temple before it wasContinue reading “Inside the temple of the Lord”
BBQ blowing up in my face
A couple years ago, I was trying to light our propane BBQ and kept clicking on the ignite button. It wasn’t working, so I turned off the gas and went to find a lighter. I came back with one of those long lighters, turned back on the gas, and started clicking the lighter. BOOM! It ignited and apparently there were gas fumes all over
Anti-Mormon & losing faith
I’m 47 years old. I haven’t always been active in the Church. (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) I stopped going to church when I was about 16 and didn’t start going back until I was 19. During that time of being inactive in the Church, I never doubted the teachings. I neverContinue reading “Anti-Mormon & losing faith”
Pride, ladders, and wheelchairs
My oldest daughter was coming home from serving 18 months as missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Omaha, Nebraska mission a couple weeks ago. We had been counting this day down for a very long time. As an LDS missionary, you only get to write/email home once a weekContinue reading “Pride, ladders, and wheelchairs”
