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 →
(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...

It's been a tradition for me to do a video on the anniversary of the blog each year. 3 years ago I started RockyMountainSunshine.com! https://youtu.be/ZEAq9eXAxo0
I received another question and thought that I would share my response from someone I will call Sam. Sam said, "There is absolutely no biblical evidence for what you suggest by stating that a deceased person has any ability to accept your postmortem “proxy baptism”.

Jim continues our conversation from my previous posts. He says, "Do you believe that Jesus is God? That it is only through him that we are saved?

I was asked this question yesterday by someone who I think was sincere in his asking. Many who believe in the Bible think that it is the complete word of God. "Why do we need the Book of Mormon?" I responded, very simply, if you believe in Jesus Christ, and you love His words, why... Continue Reading →
Someone asked this question yesterday, "What does it mean to bear your testimony?" I'm guessing they are not of my faith. I'll call him Jim. Here is my reply. That is a good question Jim. As an active, practicing member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I would say that it means... 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 →
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 life... Continue Reading →
This video took way longer than it should have. Back in the October 2014 General Conference, Elder Neil L. Andersen of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, invited everyone to consider recording Joseph Smith's account of the First Vision in our own words. I tried doing an audio recording of everyone reading it during a... Continue Reading →
