Often Don't Deserve It

Good evening friends! It's interesting how sometimes a quote pops into my mind as I think about what to create for the day. I am grateful for a God who loves me in spite of my weaknesses and shortcomings. It is a knowledge that brings a smile to my face and keeps me going. I hope this touches the person out that needed to be reminded of a God with infinite, boundless, and unconditional love! "Surely the thing God enjoys most about being God is the thrill of being merciful, especially to those who don’t expect it and often feel they don’t deserve it." -Jeffrey R. Holland, The Laborers in the Vineyard, April 2012

This was my first time witnessing a sunset over the ocean--something I had always wanted to do. The experience was even better as I was able to enjoy it with my beautiful wife and precious son. My wife snapped this amazing shot of me and him looking out over Harris Beach in Oregon as the sun set. I love amazing moments and memories such as these! -Ryan

The Hope of Israel

And to all who suffer—to all who feel discouraged, worried, or lonely—I say with love and deep concern for you, never give in.

Never surrender.

Never allow despair to overcome your spirit.

Embrace and rely upon the Hope of Israel, for the love of the Son of God pierces all darkness, softens all sorrow, and gladdens every heart.

-Dieter F. Uchtdorf

God Loves Broken Me

If you are lonely, please know you can find comfort. If you are discouraged, please know you can find hope. If you are poor in spirit, please know you can be strengthened. If you feel you are broken, please know you can be mended.

If Our Eyes Could Be Opened

In the gospel of Jesus Christ you have help from both sides of the veil, and you must never forget that. When disappointment and discouragement strike—and they will—you remember and never forget that if our eyes could be opened we would see horses and chariots of fire as far as the eye can see riding at reckless speed to come to our protection. -Jeffrey R. Holland, For Times of Trouble, March 1980
