I’m not doing so hot on my “Sunday ponderings” weekly post idea. I’ve realized it just doesn’t work on the weekends because there’s too much to juggle. But I’m going to keep trying (probably write it earlier in the week and schedule it to post on Sunday) and I’m not going to feel too bad…
Lately I’ve been scribbling notes after and during church because people have said so many things that have moved me and made me think. And since church is a time for rekindling my link with Heaven that may or may not have been partially severed through the week dealing with this or that, slowly blurring…
I am doing the devotional on the Come Follow Me app again today, all about what the Parable of the Leaven means to me. This week for Come Follow Me we read all about many of Jesus’ parables and the one I’m talking about is in Luke 13: 20-21. It made me immediately think about…
As I mentioned in the last post, we didn’t get as much time as I would have loved at Bear Lake this year. It’s interesting how things shift and change as kids get older. When I had younger kids we would fly from D.C. (where we lived for six years with our first three babies)…
I don’t have the answer to that question up there for anyone else, but I sure felt it for myself today as I listened to General Conference.

Ok, not just women, because there are some pretty cool men in this post too, but let’s focus on the women first because look who I got to be with for the women’s session of General Conference for our church a couple weeks ago: Oh yeah, baby. I lucked out. It was the beginning of…
Whoa it’s late…, and yes it is Tuesday, but it’s still the weekend in these parts as far as we’re concerned since the teachers are on strike. Schools across the state all closed last Thursday and we find out each afternoon whether they will be open the next day. There is something nice about the…
I’ve been pondering how life is filled up with rollercoasters lately. One minute you’ll be on the top of the world feeling like you are really getting somewhere. And then suddenly there is a sucker punch and you feel like the world just might swallow you or those you love right up. You find yourself…
Sitting in church on Sunday Lucy passed me over the notebook where she had been diligently writing some notes. She wanted me to read her thoughts. So I did. They were filled up with gratitude. One thing after another. This made me tear up, of course, because I’m her mom. And things like that just…
