Spiritual Gifts

Around 2002 or 2003 I was having some questions. I actually don't even remember what my issue was but I do remember a couple of conversations I had with a man who I had grown to love as a good friend. His name is Bob Quinn and during this time he was serving in the …

Friends

Over the last 7 years or so I've done a lot of talking about freinds and being a friend. And I always felt I was falling short in some way. As if I couldn't really say what I meant because I didn't have words that described what I actually meant. Most of this conversation was …

Grateful

We lost my dad this past weekend. That's a funny way to start writing something where the titel is "Grateful". But here's the thing, when I took a minute to think about how things went I am grateful and I can see God in a lot of parts. My dad, Malcolm Shearer had cancer. He …

The Sifting

I've been thinking about sifting and what it means. Until recently I had thought it was removing the undesirable parts (aka people) from the church. So I was looking at the people who I thought weren't choosing the correct things or weren't living the way God would want them to live. Basicly I was being …

Who Am I?

Two initial thoughts that inspired this post. Joseph smith describes himself as an obscure boy of no consequence JSH 1:22 2. “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who …

Half Measure

My Netflix watching habits may be a little unusual for a woman who just turned 56 years old. But I don't want all the swearing and sex and violence. I want quiet movies and series that I can watch while I do other things or have on for background noise while I work or watch …

Trust

These past 5 years have been a huge jump in learning for me. I've learned how better to study scriptures. I've learned how better to seek and receive revelation and inspiration from God. I've learned that God doesn't speak to all of us the same way (I knew that before but it has been impressed …

Why Do You Go To Church?

I've been thinking a lot about this question recently. I mean not why you are going but why am I going. Is it fear of God and what I think will happen after I die? Is it because I think my service and attendance will get me something or somewhere eventually? Is it because I …

Believe

I'm watching a show which is currently on YouTube but can also be watched on an app. It's called The Chosen. It's a series about the life of Jesus Christ. I would recommend it to anyone really. If you are a person who is curious about Jesus or a Christian who loves him or a …

We Can

Recently through my scripture study I have been noticing more and more the agency that is woven within every part of God's plan. It's a new thing for me. It's not that I didn't know agency existed. From the very first lesson with the missionaries when I was 17 years old I was taught that …
