Part One of "Establishing My First Home" I left for my 18 month mission in Canada knowing I would return home with plans. On February 14, 2019, I would fly to Missouri and reconnect with my long missed mom. Until August came, I would work, earn money, and return to a (hopefully) phenomenal physique andContinue reading "Rushing from My Mom’s House to Home"
The Necessity of Air
It's been a chaotic week. We still don't have a car, but we do have midterms. Oh, and essays and homework and work and school. The busy life is a relatable life. So, here is a unique post of a prose (or, poem, if you will) I wrote. Enjoy. Breathing and exhaling.Necessary.At least, supposedly. IContinue reading "The Necessity of Air"
women, remember who you are
You are a beautiful daughter of God. Remember this. Remember who you are and what you deserve. You deserve to be treated like this. You deserve to be treated like a daughter of God. And when you desire to feel this, to have this treatment-- It is not needy. It is needful. The time, theContinue reading "women, remember who you are"
the cure refusal
If the world came down with some illness. If somehow, we all had something spread globally that could and would debilitate us...How would we handle it? Panic. Fear. Perseverance? Hope? Perhaps, we could manage if this happened. Assuming it all occurred in a fairly obvious way. But, what if it did not? What if, instead,Continue reading "the cure refusal"
what you are worth
Too many people do not realize their worth. Too many people do not know their value. Too many. The more I prepare to go to Canada, the more I realize this. I thought about how this could be, when another creature with a similar circumstance of potential came to mind. A caterpillar. A caterpillar isContinue reading "what you are worth"
farewell talk
This talk was given to the O'Fallon Ward in Missouri on Sunday, July 22, 2018 as a departing message before Mandy left to report to the Provo MTC that following Wednesday. Well, as mentioned this is my farewell talk. So, for those of you that don't know what that means exactly, it's pretty much justContinue reading "farewell talk"
see the lights
One time I drove from my, at the time, current hometown back to college. Well into nighttime, I approached a hill I had driven on frequently. The speed limit went down from 45 mph to 35 mph on the way up the hill, then back to 45 mph on the way down. This provided extraContinue reading "see the lights"
object permanence
Object permanence is a term in psychology that describes the knowledge that an object exists, even when it is not in sight. As infants, humans do not have object permanence. For example, a baby plays with a pencil. I could take that pencil, hide it behind my back, and the infant would not protest. SinceContinue reading "object permanence"
in a stormy sea
Matthew 8:23-26 "And when he (Christ) was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. And heContinue reading "in a stormy sea"
talent & humility
Ask yourself this: do you really think God would create a talentless creature? With a knowledge of God's love for you, would you still think of yourself as useless? God had a purpose for each of his creations and He did not let anyone come down to this earth just for the sake of takingContinue reading "talent & humility"
