September 29, 2020 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 1 Comment

Heed the Warnings

September 28, 2020 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 1 Comment

If this pandemic year has taught us anything, it should have taught us to heed warnings. The calamities foretold by ancient and modern prophets are beginning to unfold. Are we watching? As responsible citizens, and/or officers of government, are we finding ways to strengthen the family?

September 24, 2020 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 2 Comments

The proclamation has been scripture to me, and memorizing it has been one of the greatest helps that a mother could have in today’s world. Family has brought the most happiness into my life, and that’s the way God meant it to be!

The Bravest Mother I Know

September 23, 2020 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 1 Comment

When the Lord defined the family through this sacred document, He taught us that the family is the center of all things. The family is love. He taught us that “Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon [His teachings].”

Defend Traditional Marriage

September 22, 2020 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 3 Comments

Defend Traditional Marriage. Defend Family. Man and woman are made to complement and complete one another. God has made it so! No amount of scientific finagling has yet to find a way to create a human being without a male or a female. There must be both to create a child, and thus perpetuate the human race. Marriage between a man and a woman was created as the ideal for children to come into this world.

Man and woman are made to complement and complete one another. God has made it so! Marriage between a man and a woman was created as the ideal for children to come into this world.

Roles, Revelation, and Grace

September 24, 2019 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} Leave a Comment

"Now, I hope this helps you understand why we talk about the pattern, the ideal, of marriage and family when we know full well that not everyone now lives in that ideal circumstance." Jeffrey R. Holland

In our world today, we enjoy so many freedoms and opportunities, and we are blessed to believe that we can become whatever we want to be. This is a wonderful truth, and the Family Proclamation reinforces our divine potential and eternal destiny.

Tarzan, Vines, & Forgiveness

September 21, 2019 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} Leave a Comment

Think of your grudges, resentments, hurt feelings, pain. Can you let them go? Can you move forward? Can you find a way to forgive – for the sake of your happiness, and the happiness of your spouse and your family? It is the only way. It is the only way to progress.

Warning Labels

September 20, 2019 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} Leave a Comment

I am learning that heeding God’s warning signs to families promises His safety, His protection and His freedom. How very blessed we are as God’s children to know that He loves us enough to warn us. And not just individually, but as families, for that is how He wants us to come back to Him!

Defending the Family: You Were Chosen “For Such a Time as This!”

September 18, 2019 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 2 Comments

For nearly six thousand years, God has held you in reserve to make your appearance in the final days before the Second Coming of the Lord. … God has saved for the final inning some of his strongest children, who will help bear off the Kingdom triumphantly. And that is where you come in, for you are the generation that must be prepared to meet your God. Ezra Taft Benson

Teaching the Teacher One of my university students recently shared the following email with me (just days after the ruling regarding same-sex marriage): I actually wasn’t able to sleep for a couple of nights because I was so worried about the effect this Supreme Court ruling would have on the nation and the world. But […]
