FamilySearch Indexing

I have this very heightened sense of self-importance, and I believe that many of you are wondering where I am and what have I been doing. The fact is that many of you are probably glad that you have had one less thing to read on the Internet. And most of you forgot that I [...]

The Spirit of Christmas

I have been trying to find something that sends a Christmas message that I am feeling this year.  I was notified of this video several weeks back. I don’t know how I missed.  But I am glad that I got to watch it on Christmas Eve.  I hope you enjoy. On the 5 year anniversary [...]

Noah, Nephi, and Today

I really wasn’t sure what to write about today.  I have had a few ideas but couldn’t decide.  Then as I read from the Book of Mormon during our family devotional time this evening, I knew what I had to write about.  But before I offer my insights from the Book of Mormon, please take [...]

President Eyring in the General Session

I don’t think that my kids have ever been that well behaved in a session of Stake Conference.  Don’t get me wrong.  Things weren’t perfect, and we had a rough spot near the beginning, but overall (especially near the end), I was amazed at how well they behaved. The talks again were wonderful.  Even those [...]

It is an extremely rare opportunity for a member of the First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to visit a Stake Conference. In fact, President Henry B. Eyring told us in this meeting that as a general rule the First Presidency doesn’t visit Stake Conferences. However, he felt inspired to [...]

Virtual Tours of LDS Temples

Wow!  So yesturday I was just clicking around Google, and I found this program of called SketchUp, which is used to make 3D images.  Google offers it for free (and they have pay version) in the hopes that people will make images of their favorite places.  I think that Google hopes to offer a 3D [...]

My Christmas Card(s) to You

Rather than giving you one Christmas card this year, I will share 14.  I read about these wonderful cards in the Deseret News. And while watching it, I was touched, and reminded of the reason we celebrate Christmas.  So, I am now sharing them with you. Some of my favorites are the ones by: Boston [...]

A Christmas Missionary Memory

Our local ward is putting together a collection of Christmas stories to send to the missionaries who are presently serving missions from our ward.  They specifically asked for Christmas stories from our missions.  And when I heard that I knew that I had to share the following story: In 1991, I spent my first Christmas [...]

Pew Research Interviews Elder Nelson

Whether you are voting for Romney or not (I am not), you have to agree that he has brought the light on the LDS church. And it sure leads to some great reading material for those who are interested in the church, member or not. The Pew Forum, which is an arm of the Pew [...]
