A lengthy commentary on family, blood and otherwise, and the eternal building blocks that they are. A special thank you to Alice Beebe of Larice Music, for feeling the need to not wait until tomorrow to do a very simple favor. The chorale sang the song Loving Families, lyrics by Barbara G. Dykstra and arranged by Larry Beebe. This arrangement, and many others can be found on their website Hymns.com 

A brief summary of Joseph Smith, leading up to his murder in Carthage Jail on this date in 1844. Plus, a feeble attempt at singing

An attitude of gratitude is necessary for us to truly become more like Christ. We should call on the Lord in good times, as well as bad times. He loves us, He is the only one that can judge us. We examine the difference between the commandments given by Moses, the added burden of the higher law of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and the mercy of being judged, not by imperfect humans, but by God.

The ten year anniversary of the dedication of the Kansas City Missouri Temple by President Thomas S. Monson. Missing singing with my favorite director, and priorities in our lives, or my life, anyway, and whether I need help with them.

The Savior lives! Because he lives, we will live again! An invitation to partake of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, by having faith, repenting of our sins, and strive towards perfection.

Listening to the prophet of God, and reflecting on Moses in our Come Follow Me lessons.

Conversion to the gospel of Jesus Christ is not a one time event, but a daily one. A couple of personal stories surrounding mine.
