Closed-eyed & breathing deeply its majesty fills my soul,
Confidently, I feel that I am one

- 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...
- Good, Better, Best
Good, Better, Best Elder Dallin H. Oaks Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles I found Elder Oaks talk directly applicable to me this week. I've been in a what may be termed a "spiritual tailspin." And it's just so easy, much easier that I ever thought ...
