I thought about this last time I was blessing my food. We always ask for him to do things for us but I never think to thank him for everything he’s already given me. I made it my point the next time I blessed my food to thank him for giving it to me and everything else I felt blessed for that day. A simple blessing of the food turned into a five minute prayer. I never felt any better :)

giving thanks in prayer is fantastic. it’s been my goal to say thank you more times in a prayer than to ask for something. I must say it does make one feel better, and it also makes you appreciate the little things in life much more. :)

STOP IT! Its as easy as that; nothing less nothing more. Everyone should watch this.

Death is not the end. Death is really a beginning—another step forward in Heavenly Father’s plan for His children. Someday, like everyone else, your physical body will die. But your spirit does not die, it goes to the spirit world, where you will continue to learn and progress and may be with loved ones who have passed on.

Death is a necessary step in your progression, just as your birth was. Sometime after your death, your spirit and your body will be reunited—never to be separated again. This is called resurrection, and it was made possible by the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ (see 1 Corinthians 15:20-22).

Just this last Sunday my husband and I went to the recently opened visitor center at the Portland Oregon Temple. If you live in that area I encourage you to take a look (bring a nonmember friend too!). It’s small, but it’s a really great place to visit. 

I just want to take a brief moment to let all my followers know how much I love you. Thank you!

I know lately I haven’t been posting much original content. The last couple months I’ve been feeling a bit lazy. But I promise that I will get back on my feet (so to speak) and post more original content. Give me time. I’m just needing the motivation I guess…

I finished the Old Testament early last week. Finally! I read it starting from Joshua since in previous tries I’d only get through Exodus and part of Leviticus. So I saved the first books for last. And I did it! Whew! What an accomplishment!

So now I’m on to the New Testament. I am doing the same thing as before. Like the Old Testament, I only managed to get so far in the New Testament. So I’m skipping the first 4 books (since I’ve read them multiple times in the past) and have started with Acts. I’m looking forward to the adventure.

Note that in the past I have read the Bible with my family when I was a child. This accomplishment is a personal goal that until now I haven’t achieved.
