I know this is the true Church of our Savior Jesus Christ and that we are led by a living prophet, Thomas S. Monson.
My story:
My life challenges started at a very early age. I was eight years old when I was first molested. He was a friend of the family and I had a child’s [...]
Have we not been reassured about the fall of one sparrow and that the very hairs of our heads are numbered? (see Matt. 10:29–30; D&C 84:80). God is in the details! (Neal A. Maxwell, “Encircled in the Arms of His Love,” Ensign, Nov. 2002, 16)
During a routine obstetric ultrasound I was told that I [...]
It seems to me that in the times of my greatest need or frustration I feel like the words I pray to my Heavenly Father are falling from my lips and onto the floor. I know in my heart that I am not really alone during the winter seasons in my life, but it can [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )I recall one of those days a couple of years ago when I went visiting teaching. I must confess that I was not excited to go. I was tired. I didn’t feel good. I hadn’t had much downtime with my children because we have had lots of craziness (errands, doctor’s appointments, car troubles, dad out [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )I’m not sure what I was afraid of, but I know that the fear was deep, animal, and visceral. Even my husband shared it. For all that he loves to jump out of airplanes for fun, that 28-foot ladder up against the side of the house bested him as well as it did me. The [...]

I am not a convert to the Church, but I, like everyone else, have had to become converted, and to gain my own surety about the path I am on as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. For me, that has been a gradual process, and can not be traced [...]

As Mother’s Day approaches, the concept of motherhood and mothering cannot be avoided. Greeting cards for Mothers, Grandmothers, and even Fathers who have been the “mother” at home appear on the shelves.
By Tammy Simister Robinson
I have noticed that women often confuse the trait of being meek with being weak. While we strive to follow the Savior, we must understand that in order for us to do His work, He needs women who are strong–women who know of a surety who they are.
When the Relief Society Declaration [...]
Motherhood gets a lot of attention in the Church, as well it should. Sometimes, though, that can be difficult when women ache for children and cannot have some of their own. Read two women’s stories about their struggles with infertility, and about how they came to understand how they could be mothers even when they [...]

Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )My father passed away peacefully a few months ago, just eighteen days short of his hundredth birthday. Even as his physical capacities gradually diminished during the last few years, he continued to live by himself, fixing his own meals and using his own recipe to bake his super-nutritious bread.

I have been thinking a lot about the gospel–what it is and how to live it and how to deal with the ups and downs of life and so forth. Four scriptures have struck me in a juxtaposition that I hadn’t considered before. The scriptures are these:
For behold, this is my work and my glory—to [...]

To struggle is the program.
Of course, you can imagine the kinds of conversations that brought on that teaching. Who wants to hear that the pain and struggle they are going [...]
Eliza R. Snow on the Spirit
I had a visiting teaching appointment last night. As is often the case, I was rushed to get things done for my family, get myself presentable, and prepare the lesson. But reading the message almost stopped me in my tracks. It helped me remember the tremendous blessing that the Spirit [...]
