Companion Study

One of the most effective ways to study the scriptures is to do it with your spouse.  You can do this with the recommended LDS study guides, and weekly lesson schedules. Together read key scriptural verses, and share with each other personal insights of them.  It is really effective learning.  Many added insights are encountered. Multiple concepts can be discussed. Your hearts become knitted together.

Spiritual Pictogram

It is a great feeling when you have memorized a quote or scripture, and someone mentions it in a talk at church. It becomes a spiritual pictogram filed in your heart, like:

"I want to help you ‘fly right’ in the gathering storms of the last days. You are the pilot. Your responsibility is to think about the consequences of every choice you make." Elder Robert Hales

Now picture a tiny plane icon, filed on your spiritual area of apps.

Home

..."This may have not been your dream, but you believed in me"...

This a line from Michael Buble's hit "Home", a favorite of mine shedding forth sentiment of my life's love, my wife.  She has stood with me through our journey. Especially as my physical circumstance is, I'd say- ...slow.

Christmas Thoughts

Christmas thoughts from the baby grand-girls;

"Santa says Ho-No"

"Merry Christmas ever"

"What Will Ye"

“Therefore what will ye that I should prepare for you that ye may have light when ye are swallowed up in the depths of the sea?”

Excerpt From: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. “Book of Mormon.” The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Ether.

When in moments like this question, we feel sunk.  Yet, God opens his voice and heart to invite his willingness to give us, as we humbly seek his available loving aid.
