Derek Lontine (Faith): Never Prayed Before?
http://lontinederek-faith.blogspot.com/2013/09/never-prayed-before.html
Monday, September 16, 2013. I wanted to give a little advice if you have never prayed before. Praying is really quite simple. You just talk with God. Yes, you can't see him or hear him. But you can feel his response in your heart. You don't have to kneel on the ground, although I like doing that. I also fold my arms, but you can clasp your hands, or whatever. Here's a basic format:. Address God- something like "Dear Heavenly Father.". Express Gratitude- "Thank you for and .". View my complete profile.

Derek Lontine: July 2013
http://lontinederek.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 28, 2013. If you haven't noticed, our little girl, Anna, has a bit of a problem:. So there's really a couple of things that could be going on here. One it could be a lazy eye. This is less likely because the doctor says that both eyes are turning in toward her nose. The other thing that it could be is her eye muscles with a condition known as medial rectus recession. This is much more likely. The doctor says he is 80% sure it is this condition. Basically here's what it is:. The patch will he...

Derek Lontine: Anna's Eyeballs: The Update
http://lontinederek.blogspot.com/2013/08/annas-eyeballs-update.html
Monday, August 26, 2013. Anna's Eyeballs: The Update. Well, if you've been paying attention to my Facebook posts, previous blog post. Or have actually seen me in person over the last month, you've probably heard me talk about my daughter's eyeballs. She's really stinking cute, which makes the issue that much more difficult. So I'm pretty much going to pick up where I left off on my last post. I recommend reading that if you have no idea what I'm talking about here. It can be found here. I think the thing...

Derek Lontine: "In the name of Jesus Christ"
http://lontinederek.blogspot.com/2013/08/in-name-of-jesus-christ.html
Sunday, August 4, 2013. In the name of Jesus Christ". Sitting in my main worship service of my church (Sacrament Meeting) I came up with this interesting thought. The meeting was a "Fast and Testimony Meeting" so not your typical service with one or two main sermons. Instead, this meeting typically consists of 20-35 people randomly getting up out of the congregation to bear witness of the things they know to be true. In the Mormon faith a testimony typically goes something like this:. And Adam said unto ...

Derek Lontine: September 2013
http://lontinederek.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 16, 2013. For those of you that remember, my daughter Anna will be having eye muscle surgery (Strabismus Surgery) on Thursday of next week (September 26th, 2013). This is a very frightening thing for my family and I, however, we have faith that our savior Jesus Christ will be watching over her. This is why I am asking my friends and family members to hold a 24-hour fast for Anna. What exactly is a 24-hour fast, and what does that have to do with my daughter? Close your fast with a praye...

Derek Lontine (Faith): The Parable of The Garden Hose
http://lontinederek-faith.blogspot.com/2014/07/the-parable-of-garden-hose.html
Sunday, July 13, 2014. The Parable of The Garden Hose. All too often, we might feel like the commandments of God are "restricting." Commandments might seem to be more of thou shalt not's in your life and may seem to prohibit your choices. It might also seem that the more and more you do to follow God's commandments, the more prohibitive they seem. Some of you may have seen a diagram something like this in the past. There's one major flaw that I can't get around though. If we're keeping God's commandm...
