My family and I entered the baptismal font, one by one, in 1994. First my father, then mother, then me and my younger brother. I was an almost 14-year-old, feeling excited and at peace with our new faith; and yet simultaneously self-conscious and vulnerable with our new testimonies. The next year, the living prophet, Gordon […]
The Proclamation Taught Me About “Family”
This month marks the twentieth anniversary since the amazing revelation of The Family: A Proclamation to the World was first given by President Gordon B. Hinckley at the Relief Society General Conference. I was only ten years old at the time. I knew nothing about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, nor […]

There is no question there is an attack on the family.

Make Your Home a Sacred Space
“His house was perfect, whether you liked food, or sleep, or work, or story-telling, or singing, or just sitting and thinking best, or a pleasant mixture of them all. Evil things did not come into that valley. “I wish I had time to tell you even a few of the tales or one or two […]

Fathers and Mothers Matter

Both are necessary ingredients not only in producing a child but in raising and rearing one. Fathers and […]
Defend Traditional Marriage
When we were engaged Joseph and I wrote many letters to each other. That’s what you did when you lived across the country from one another before cell phones. In one of the letters Joseph wrote he sent a copy of an article with this quote highlighted in blue brackets. Next to it he wrote, […]
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God
In the stillness of morning the sun peaks out behind misty mountain tops. Its rays reach out to bathe my room in golden beams of light.
