Raise and Relief

For our Relief Society lesson today we discussed Camille N. Johnson’s talk from this last General Conference, Jesus Christ is Relief.  These are a couple of the quotes that really stood out to me…   “Covenant keepers are blessed with the Savior’s relief.

Morning Dew Holy Time

When I woke up this morning it was misty outside and I knew that I couldn’t miss it because I love mornings like this. I came down to the living room to find Roxanne and Evelyn already awake and reading some of the Bible story books and I asked Roxanne if she wanted to go...

I love it when the physical things in my life have meaning embedded in them. Several months ago I started thinking about how I wanted the covers of my notebooking binders to have a significant meaning to me because they have become priceless treasures and I wanted the binder itself to reflect that (this probably...

Come to a Center

My most recent poem… Only One Way to Joy Slow down, hold still, The rush seeks to destroy. Come to a center, Only one way to joy. Bits of happy can be had, When mind and hands are split. But true joy you’ll never possess, Until to the Spirit you submit. The natural man is...

Gardening has been on my mind so much lately because I have been spending a lot of time envisioning, dreaming about, designing, and creating my dream garden over the past several weeks.  I find that a lot of the thoughts and impressions that I have about gardens want to be expressed, so I wrote this...

Enclosed

My most recent poem…   Enclosed   Today I feel like Nephi, Encompassed by my sins. Weaknesses, temptations strong, My heart feels Satan closing in. My spirit feels the flaxen cord, Get tighter every hour. I feel so lost and too far gone, My soul begins to cower. But then the thought comes to my...
