I posted this on Instagram, but here it is with a little added insight at the end for the blog too… Last week this girl encircled me with this beautiful hand-made necklace of flowers in a little Peruvian village in the tippy-top of the mountains. The air was thin (13,000 feet elevation). We had been…
You guys, I am so late posting, but I HAD to get on here quick to share that I’m doing the “Come Follow Me” devotional today. I’m not sure if I’ve shared the story I share on there today here on the blog, but it’s all about a really hard day when Lucy was younger…
It is late on a Sunday and I’m trying to clear off my desk, filled up with little papers and notes. And I came across some words I scribbled down at church the last two Sundays. Words that hit me that I found scraps of paper to write them down, somehow hoping that in writing…
I’m sure I’ve talked before here about the “Transformer Principle.” It’s a principle my dad came up with as one of the “Grandfather’s Secrets” he shares each summer with the grandkids, and it’s attached to the one about sex.

Remember this app I talked ago a while back? I am loving it. Each day there is a new beautifully outlined thought from the weekly “Come Follow Me” program. There are also all kinds of links if you want to go deeper into your study. Each day there is a 2-minute devotional from someone new….
Last week in Relief Society (our class at church), I was able to listen to the best lesson. It was all about the refining fires of trials. I thought of “beauty for ashes,” one of my very favorite phrases from the poetry of Isaiah. To me it is just so encouraging to think that beauty…
I am loving the Come Follow Me lessons we study each week more than ever lately. There is so much to glean from the scriptures, and I feel like you learn even more when you write things down. So here I am, with a thought from three weeks ago. Ha! But really, I’ve been thinking…
Here we are on our second Sunday of confinement. It is strange not to have a church gathering to stake the day into place, and I am one of those people who loves going to church. But I have to say that I think last week was my favorite Sunday ever. I woke up and…
