One Sunday I was in my car with a friend, CJ Matthews. We were driving after church to go do something. I can’t remember what it was. Visit someone or give a blessing or something that like. A few minutes into the drive I realized I was out of gas. I remembered I’d been outContinue reading “The Chance of Faith”

Faith and Signs
3 Nephi chapter 2 is a fascinating and important part of the Book of Mormon. It’s especially important to our day. There’s a chance our moment in history could be parallel to this time in the Book of Mormon record. The start of chapter 2 tells us that despite many signs, wonders, and prophesied eventsContinue reading “Faith and Signs”
The Glory of the Sun
I recently finished a book that was so packed with wisdom I couldn’t come close to taking it all in. Every page provided a new insight. Every thought was provoking. It is amazing to walk through the minds of men and women so in touch with the spirit or some form of knowledge I don’tContinue reading “The Glory of the Sun”
How did I get here?
What is my goal in writing this blog? Hopefully to uplift someone, anyone. Believer, nonbeliever. Member of the Church of Jesus Christ, member of any church, member of no church. I’d like to teach people who know nothing about this faith some of what I believe. I’d like to share with members of my faithContinue reading “How did I get here?”

Have you ever walked into work on Monday and been asked what you did over the weekend… and not be able to think of anything? Sometimes it takes me 5-10 minutesContinue reading “My Coincidences”

I was once asked a question I surprisingly had never truly dived into. What was different about the first time I met with the bishop when coming back to church? Why did I come back? I’ve written about some of the coincidences leading to me getting to the Bishop’s office and ultimately coming back toContinue reading “Love is Powerful”
Policy
I want to write about what I learned when I struggled with something at church. I apologize for not going into specifics because I don’t want that to be the point. I want to write about what I learned from my struggle. To be clear, it was not a faith crisis. It was a policy/decisionContinue reading “Policy”
Worldwide Fast
Prophet and President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Russell M. Nelson, asked the world to fast on Good Friday, April 10, 2020. His invitation: “I invite all, including those not of our faith, to fast and pray on Good Friday, April 10, that the present pandemic may be controlled, caregivers protected, the economyContinue reading “Worldwide Fast”
Faith
It’s a topic I will spend my life studying and trying to understand. This will likely not be the only time I write about faith. It is something so dear to me, my faith. I keep coming back to this topic even though I’ve struggled to put together a stimulating thought on the subject. GreatContinue reading “Faith”
