Defend Traditional Marriage

June 29, 2015 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 17 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.

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, […]

Utah’s Stand For Marriage Rally #Standwithchildren

January 28, 2014 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 9 Comments

Remember last year I posted about The Modern French Revolution or  La Manif Pour Tous,, the pro-family movement taking place in France? With slogans like “1 Father, 1 Mother = That’s Marriage” and “Father, Mother, Children, It’s Natural!” they are spreading the message about traditional families.  Taking a page from their book there is a […]

I stand firm in my support of traditional marriage

January 13, 2014 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 13 Comments

(Frederick Morgan, Off for the Honeymoon) Over the Christmas break there were some major happenings in Utah about same-sex marriage. One judge – one – overturned the voters in Utah to legalize same-sex marriage. That judge refused a stay on the order as did a circuit court. The Supreme Court did issue a stay. Now […]

Equally Yoked

April 16, 2013 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 7 Comments

I had these guest posts loosely scheduled on my calendar several weeks ago. It’s amazing to me how things work out sometimes. Last week’s Establish a House post generated a very good question from a reader about what to do when spouses aren’t quite in agreement or on board with certain teaching aspects. There were […]

I Support Traditional Marriage

March 28, 2013 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 13 Comments

Long time readers know how much family, traditional marriage, and parenthood mean to me. I started an annual blog celebration about The Family: A Proclamation to the World, held every September, because of my strong belief in the importance of the truths taught therein. Truths such as:Marriage between a man and a woman is ordained […]

Never Check Your Religion at the Door – Defend the Family!

September 28, 2012 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 17 Comments

There is no question there is an attack on the family. Just scan the headlines of any news outlet and you’ll find startling evidence of the strategic ways the adversary is trying to destroy this most beautiful and basic of human relationships. “It used to be called illegitimacy. Now it is the new normal. After […]

The blessing of a body

September 25, 2012 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 9 Comments

In the premortal realm, spirit sons and daughters knew and worshipped God as their Eternal Father and accepted His plan by which His children could obtain a physical body and gain earthly experience to progress toward perfection and ultimately realize their divine destiny as heirs of eternal life. The Proclamation says that in the premortal […]

Living Your Love Story

September 23, 2012 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 19 Comments

“Mom, so-and-so was wondering about the first time you and dad kissed?” This question was asked amongst comments of “No, I didn’t!” and “It was your idea!” We all laughed {and there might have been a few ‘eeewwww’s} as I recounted that fateful day so long ago. It dawned on me we’d never told that […]

The Law of True Marriage

April 2, 2011 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 6 Comments

“Wherever,” says Gail Hamilton, “man pays reverence to woman – wherever any man feels the influence of woman purifying, chastening, abashing, strengthening him against temptation, shielding him from evil, ministering to his self respect, medicining his weariness, peopling his solitude, winning him from sordid prizes, enlivening his monotonous days with mirth or fancy or wit, […]

Someday

November 27, 2010 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 7 Comments

Life. It has a way of changing course, twisting and turning, up and down, and even loop-de-looping. It’s a good thing we are adaptable creatures. Oh yes, we are adaptable, even though sometimes we stubbornly wallow in the mire of self-pity not wanting to accept change. We cannot stop the inevitable from occurring. We can, […]

Wordfull Wednesday: Nurturing Love and Friendship in Marriage

March 9, 2010 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} Leave a Comment

Spring is almost here. For us, that means working the fields, fertilizing, dragging to break up manure from the cows that fed on them during the winter, spraying for weeds, and getting the pumps ready to go to irrigate as soon as it’s warm enough. We do all this work so we can have a […]

Wordfull Wednesday: Unity in Marriage

February 23, 2010 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} Leave a Comment

The first home Mr. Ferrero Rocher and I lived in (not counting the apartment we had while in college) was an old 800 sq foot, non-insulated wood clapboard house. It was actually three office buildings from an old ghost town called Wonder here in Nevada. The buildings were brought down by horse and buggy in […]
