Apprenticeship to Godhood

The Lord's plan of salvation requires that you pass through trials in this mortal life. Those trials seem to be greatest when you reach fatherhood, but be assured--fatherhood, in a sense, is an apprenticeship to godhood." - Father, Consider Your Ways, Ensign, June 2002

A Gleam of Sunshine

This is the place. Stand still, my steed,

Let me review the scene,

And summon from the shadowy Past

The forms that once have been.

The Past and Present here unite

Beneath Time's flowing tide,

Like footprints hidden by a brook,

But seen on either side.

Here runs the highway to the town;

There the green lane descends,

Through which I walked to church with thee,

O gentlest of my friends!

A Divine Light

A divine light comes into your eyes and countenances when you draw close to your Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. That's how we get the "shiney"!

Single Life

My great-aunt Ada never married. Perhaps she believed in the philosophy: “When fretted by this single life, which seems to be my lot, I think of all the many men whose wife I’m glad I’m not.” In any event, she was one of the first female medical doctors in the state of Utah. When I was a young boy, my brothers and I slept out in the enclosed back porch of our small home. One day I was jumping on the bed, trying to see how high I could go. I jumped too close to the wall and tore part of my face on a nail that was sticking out. I need some excuse for the way I look! Aunt Ada was called to come and sew up the wound. At other times, when we didn’t feel well, she fed us castor oil and milk of magnesia. She came with mustard plasters and burned our chests when we had colds. Today when I have aches and pains, which is becoming more frequent as I get older, I wish Aunt Ada were here to keep me healthy. Every time I look in the mirror and see the scar—a permanent record of my encounter with the nail—a great love for Aunt Ada swells in my consciousness. She filled a precious, loving role in my life. -James E. Faust, What It Means To Be a Daughter of God

Through It

If God brought you to it, He will bring you through it.

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

Love You

For some, Valentine's day can be a very lonely time. Please keep in mind the love of the One who will never leave us, break our hearts, nor forget us. That love is sweeter than any chocolate, sparkles brighter than any diamond, and won't wilt over time.

Keep Moving Forward

“Life is no straight and easy corridor along which we travel free and unhampered , but a maze of passages , through which we  must seek our way, lost and confused, now and again checked in a blind alley.
But always , if we have faith , God will open a door for us , not perhaps one that we ourselves would have thought of ,but one that  will ultimately prove good for us “
A. J . Cronin

Desgin by Ryan Hawks

Afternoon in February

The day is ending,

The night is descending;

The marsh is frozen,

The river dead.

Through clouds like ashes

The red sun flashes

On village windows

That glimmer red.

The snow recommences;

The buried fences

Mark no longer

The road o'er the plain;

While through the meadows,

Like fearful shadows,

Slowly passes

A funeral train.

The bell is pealing,

And every feeling

Within me responds

Be Happy

Be believing, be happy, don't get discouraged. Things always work out. -Gordon B. Hinckley

I must leave you by Charlotte Brontë

Oh, mention it! If I storm, you have the art of weeping.""Mr. Rochester, I must leave you.""For how long, Jane? For a few minutes, while you smooth your hair — which is somewhat dishevelled; and bathe your face — which looks feverish?""I must leave Adele and Thornfield. I must part with you for my whole life: I must begin a new existence among strange faces and strange scenes.""Of course: I told
