A Father’s Day Message
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has teamed up with several denominational groups to produce a beautiful video message for Father’s Day this year.
For me being a father is a great blessing that I wouldn’t trade for anything. I love all of my children and am so blessed to have them in my family.
Time for More General Conference! April 2023
It’s time for General Conference! The Church of Jesus Christ of a Latter-day Saints’ semiannual conference where members of the Church around the world come together to hear messages from living prophets and apostles. During this special weekend, Church leaders share inspired counsel about Jesus Christ, His gospel, and how we can follow Him more faithfully in today’s world.
This is a time that members of Christ’s restored church eagerly anticipate every six months. Imagine sitting down with ancient prophets like Isaiah or Moses, hearing firsthand the Lord’s revelations for their time. General Conference offer that same experience, prophets and apostles speaking the mind and will of the Lord for our day. That’s why members look forward to it with such excitement and reverence.
I’ve written more about General Conference before, and you can read that post here.
There are five two-hour sessions across the weekend held at the Conference Center, located next to the Salt Lake Temple in Salt Lake City, Utah. On Saturday, April 1, 2023, there will be three meetings at 10:00 a.m., 2:00 p.m., and 6:00 p.m. (Mountain Standard Time). On Sunday, April 2, two additional sessions will be held at 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. MST.
To read, listen to, or watch the messages from General Conference, visit the Church’s official website at churchofjesuschrist.org.

How Bonnie H. Cordon Can #HearHim
In this video Sister Bonnie H. Cordon describes the loss of a dear child and how she was able to find peace through the words of God. I fervently pray that I never have to go through the loss of one of my children, but I hope that I will be in the correct place where the Lord needs me so I might be able to receive the message that I need to hear for my own life to make me a more faithful disciple of Jesus Christ.

Update For My Website on Jesus Christ: I’m Busy!
You may have noticed that I haven’t been posting to the website as frequently as I once did, and I want to acknowledge that. I noticed it too… Sunday mornings, once my designated time to get up early and write content, have shifted. I didn’t want to leave you wondering or worrying about whether you would ever hear from me again and learning more about Jesus Christ.
In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, leadership roles are mostly filled volunteers from within each local congregation. In 2020, I was called to a position in my local congregation that requires a significant commitment of time and responsibility. As a result, my Sunday mornings are now filled with meetings and other duties. While I have every intention of adding to the website, I ask for your patient as I adjust and find a new rhythm in my life for sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with you.
Please also visit the official website for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for more.
Thank you so much for continuing to visit and support this space—I truly appreciate it!
If you haven’t yet begun reading about the Prophet Joseph Smith, I encourage you to start here. I’ve written several posts on the topic. These writings should hold you over until I’m able to post again.
