Great expectations

Best wishes for an amazing new year!

Merry Christmas!

Light the World!

Romancing the snow

Siblings are all about bringing you back to reality.

Faith in every footstep

We had sleet, snow and freezing rain all within the space of a few hours a couple of days ago. It left things slick!

Know your audience

We always make double the amount that we need — be it cookies or funeral potatoes — because half of them will be gone before we're ready to deliver the goods to wherever they need to go.

It's that time of year again!

The easiness of the way

I can say it here, but that better be the only place I say it!

Remembering

Thank you to all who have served!

Taking inventory

Quick stop home teaching

Perhaps this is what Elder Holland was talking about...

Taking care of business

It doesn't work at our house either.

Wake up, sunshine

He who hath ears to hear and eyes to see...

Ever had that type of conversation?

Power of the priesthood

It's good to be supportive like that.

Signs shall follow them

You know it's true.

Scripture mustery

If you have teenage boys, you know exactly what this means!

We are as the Army of Helaman

OK, so the scriptures never say that Helaman's sons fought like dragons (that metaphor was used for the Lamanites), but they were pretty fierce in the heat of the battle. Just like Primary. 

The green badge of courage

True that.

Eternity's here

It's certainly true here!

Celestial reasoning

There always seems to be something that gets in the way — but it's sure worth it to go!

Gospel by the numbers

Finding yourself

A look back

Sometimes the best thing about camp is the memories — after you've been able to get home, cleaned up and fed!

A journey of a thousand miles

Understanding

That's one small step for a man...

Both sides of the table

One year my wife was in charge of Girls' Camp and I was in charge of Scout Camp. It went pretty much like this.

Happy Independence Day!

Reading between the lines

I don't think I'd want to see a Boy Scout fashion show!

Answering service

Laman and Lemuel really went the extra mile in harassing Nephi!

Dad's stories...

Take some time to listen to dad's old stories. Again.

Happy Father's Day!

Into every garden

It'd be a lot easier if gardening was just plug 'n' play — plant 'em and then eat 'em. 

Be careful what you pray for

It beginneth to grow

Mosiah 12:7

A little special something

Was it really an advancement in farming when we moved from fish guts to steer manure as fertilizer?

Mosiah 8:16 Figuring out the hierarchy

A handful of history

I need to get some neas and sheum to add to my garden.

Proverbs 3:5

Remembering Mom

Do something nice for your mom this Mother's Day weekend!

Taking aeration to a whole new level

Next we talk about what "restoration of all things" means!

2 Nephi 9:29

Literal translation

If you wrest with the scriptures, it will be to your own condemnation.

Alma 32:21

Hold on

Maybe I've been watching the news too much lately.

Isaiah 54:13

Where two or three are gathered

General Conference was — once again — amazing. It amazes me how so many people can hear the same talk and from it get different messages, each meant specifically for them.

If you haven't yet, please read, watch or listen to the talks from each of the sessions. It was awesome!

Alma 34:41

Face the right way

Yes, it's General Conference today — turn your tent toward the temple. Heck, turn all your electronics that way. See you there!

1 Nephi 2:17

Happy Easter!
