The story of Ammon is one of my favorites in the Book of Mormon. Ammon went amongst the Lamanites who wanted to kill and murder him to teach them about Jesus Christ. I wrote about a great conversion moment I had from the story of Ammon before. Here I am 4 years later, still beingContinue reading “Sent from God – Missionaries”

What’s in it for Me?
“Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.” John F. Kennedy’s famous quote given in 1961. I think this has become a great weakness of humans today, and society as a whole. There are so few asking, “what can I do for you” and soContinue reading “What’s in it for Me?”
A Miracle that Changed the World
These are thoughts from a book I read recently called A Miracle that Changed the World. It was an awesome book that laid out just how spectacular the establishing of America was. This was a section of the book I had some thoughts on. I’m quoting sections of the book with my thoughts. p. 52:Continue reading “A Miracle that Changed the World”
The Eyes of God
I don’t think anything makes me feel closer to God than staring into the eyes of my babies. I’ve written about it before HERE. I don’t remember this specifically with Ivy, though I’m sure it happened. But with Sage I’ve stared into her eyes and it’s the most outstanding, humbling feeling. What did I doContinue reading “The Eyes of God”
The Difference Between Steph Curry and Kevin Durant
This will be slightly out of brand for my blog. I love basketball so it’s surprising this is the first true basketball commentary I’ve written. Anyways, Kevin Durant is without question one of the best players in the NBA right now (when healthy), and one of the most talented players of all time. He isContinue reading “The Difference Between Steph Curry and Kevin Durant”
A Dream About Prophets
I had a dream last night. In it I was going down a stream. I had the feeling of leaving civilization for the wilderness. I came to a cliff. I climbed to the top and on the precipice there was a small and shabby tent erected. I went inside and there was an old prophet. Continue reading “A Dream About Prophets”
Satan’s Story Continued: What I learned from the Qur’an
In Satan’s Story, I explored the origins of Satan before we came to earth. This was back when we knew Satan, in the premortal existence. This was when he was attempting to (mis)lead us. It was an interesting revelation for me to learn what led to Satan’s revolt. If you haven’t read that post, youContinue reading “Satan’s Story Continued: What I learned from the Qur’an”
Blessing Ivy
I recently had the special opportunity to bless Ivy. Leading up to the blessing, I did some research on the history of blessing children in the Church of Jesus Christ and its significance. For Ivy’s blessing, Beth put together an event and a description of what a baby blessing is. Here is that description: WhatContinue reading “Blessing Ivy”
Prodigal Son
The story of the Prodigal Son is well known. For those who have not read it before or haven’t read it recently it can be found in Luke 15:11-32. The story of the Prodigal Son has always hit close to home for me. Obviously, it’s easy for me to relate to the younger son. YouContinue reading “Prodigal Son”
Letter to a Sinner
I write this with as much humility as possible. Fully knowing and understanding my weaknesses have given me perspective. It is my faults and errors that make me feel like I can write this letter. I remember when I came back to church I was asked to not take the sacrament for three weeks. ItContinue reading “Letter to a Sinner”
