W08 FAML300 Beware of Pride

Beware of Pride… I don’t like the saying, but it is true.  I have never before thought of myself as being prideful.  I have (and still do) see myself as a wife that is proud of her husband and a mother who is very proud of her children.  But is that what it speaks of

Week 2: Marriage Trends; Divorce: Make marriage work

For this semester, I have an assignment to write each week about marriage. I wish that I could say that I could write more than once a week, but as you can see from the lack of recent posts, school is taking up most of my free time.  “Hey, I’m a busy lady,” is my

One Right Decision

Because no one that lives in this house actually reads what I write here, I am going to share with you my final essay for my English course this term.  I just turned it in to my instructor, so who knows what kind of grade I will get on it, but here it is.  I

This is the last chapter for study this week.  Next week, there are only three chapters.  If you have been following along with me since the beginning of last term…. pat yourself on the back you only have four more chapters and you have read the entire Book of Mormon! As this chapter begins, Moroni

Moroni 6

Here in Moroni 6, Moroni is still writing to us telling us of the beginnings of the church on the American continent after Jesus Christ was resurrected.  We read previously that He set apart disciples and these disciples set apart elders,priests, and teachers.  Picking up from there, we learn that the elders, priests, and teachers

Moroni 5

Moroni 5 is another short and sweet chapter, but I am certain that it is important anyway.  There is not a single passage that is written in the Book of Mormon that wasn’t written for the benefit of man.  Let’s take a gander and see what we should be learning. We read in my previous

Have you ever been to a sacrament meeting at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?  If not, really you should. Here is what I love most about sacrament meeting…. it is a time for quiet prayer.  It is a time to renew my covenants with my Heavenly Father and to rejuvenate and prepare
