The Journey
We’re all on a journey. Boiled down, that journey is one of making sense out of our lives. We’re all just feeling along for the path that leads to happiness
NOTICE: This is a stream-of-consciousness post, or a “brain dump” as I’ve loving come to call them. I find sometimes that when I’m feeling blocked and that when putting together enough energy to organize what I’m thinking and writing into something coherent is too hard, that I can just write and put [...]
Almost six months ago now I packed up my guitar, my $20 mini TV, a handful of clothes and my favorite books and movies into my hubcapless silver Toyota Corolla and headed out west. It wasn’t my first adventure into the unknown, but it was perhaps one of the biggest of such life [...]

Bednar "The purpose of our mortal journey is not merely to see the sights on earth or to expend our allotment of time on self-centered pursuits; rather, we are to 'walk in newness of life', to become sanctified by yielding our hearts unto God, and to…
- Preserving a Mighty Change of Heart I wrote not long ago about my journey to find out the truth of the Book of Mormon for myself. It was intensely powerful and I used to think that because I felt the passion and drive the Book brings that I would always feel it. I've since learned that's not exactly how life works.…

Monson “Ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.” ~ 1 Peter 2:9 Such an appropriate talk for "a would be king" that…

Again, I've gotten out of the habit of sitting down at the end of the day and writing how I've seen the Lord's hand in my life that day. However, I know that when…
- Out of Small Things Elder Michael J. Teh Of the Seventy Talk Audio "We need to enlarge the circle of our influence" - This reminds me to break free from any cliques that we can quite easily establish and seek to include all. "To some degree we all depend on each other to be able to make it back…
