After we finished excersizing today I collapsed to the floor by our bookshelves in the living room and said “Whew! I’m going to sleep right here!” I turned my head to the side and was about to close my eyes when I noticed one of my old German poetry books from college. I hadn’t looked [...]

Those of us in the Northwest get the benefit of some very beautiful days, and yesterday was one of them. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky and the sun reflected off the crystals in the 10 degree weather. My wife (Becca), my friend Jeremy, and I decided we would go skiing and it was [...]

In one of my recent posts, I said it was a law that God would answer our prayers. I was wrong….he’ll answer our prayers if we are keeping the commandments. Here’s proof: John 15:10 “if ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love…” and John 15:7 “if ye abide in me and my words abide [...]

Last week my wife and I went to the symphony for her Christmas present. It was amazing! Beethoven’s 9th. The only problem was that we go to sleep listening to classical music and so when the slow pieces were playing we started to snooze. We woke up suddenly though during the last piece…you know the [...]

During my morning scripture study today I was reading John 15:1-16. This is a section where Jesus is teaching his disciples on the perfect law of love. The verses that stand out to me are verses 5, 7, and 10. They read: Verse 5: “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth [...]

What is a Mormon? Many people hear this word and different images come to their minds. Having served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) and having dealt with many members of other faiths through business and other travel experiences, I can probably guess what many think when they hear [...]
