Posted in Christianity, Jesus, Spirituality, tagged , , , on April 26, 2008 | 8 Comments »

In college, I skimmed through the book by Victor Frankl entitled “Man’s Search for Meaning.”  Recently I decided to read it again and spend a little more time digesting the concepts.  For those unfamiliar with this book, it is a book written by Victor Frankl about his experiences in a concentration camp.  What is so [...]

For those of you reading this who may not be familiar with LDS meetings, today was what we call “Fast and Testimony Meeting.”  On the first Sunday of each month (called “Fast Sunday”) members of the faith abstain from food and water (a.k.a fast) for 24 hrs. and give the money they would have used in those [...]

Making our Hearts a Manger

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 the movie “End of the Spear,” christian missionaries are led by the Holy Spirit to a indiginous people in South America.  The people have a distorted concept of God and the sanctity of life.  Ultimately many of the missionaries end up sacrificing their lives in order to bring the message to this indiginous people.  The scriptures [...]

Perfecting our Relationship with Jesus through Progression…not Perfection

Posted in Christianity, Faith, Jesus, Mormon Christians, Spirituality, tagged , , , on January 14, 2008 | 3 Comments »

One of my friends recently posted this comment about God: I also lived in fear of somehow distressing him (God) so much that I wouldn’t make my way into the highest of kingdoms and that I’d be a disappointment to him and all those around me. Every time I committed even the “slightest sin”, it made [...]

Receiving and Recognizing Answers to our Prayers

Posted in Christianity, God, Jesus, Prayer, Spirituality, tagged , , , , , on January 13, 2008 | 9 Comments »

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 [...]
