Wednesday, June 16, 2010. I found a link to this online stress test. At first it looked a little depressing how many of the stressors I could check, but then it turned hilarious. Check out these items being a factor in the life of a new mom:. Change to a new type of work. Change in my work hours or conditions. Took a course to help my work (does a prenatal class count?

Friday, October 17, 2008. All Saints’ Day and an LDS Context. On November 1, some Christian faiths celebrate All Saints’ Day. Although we don’t officially recognize this holiday in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, there are some traditions of this day that we have inherited and can have meaning for us. 8220;For All the Saints” was written by Anglican Bishop William Walsham How and published in 1864. When we sing this hymn in our congregations, we think of “All Souls”...And when the strife...

A Perfect Brightness: December 2008
http://aperfectbrightness.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 2, 2008. Dad’s Special Gifts. 8220;Would you like to go for a drive with me? 8221; Dad asked. I smiled before I turned around and answered, “Sure.” Making this request was the most humble I ever saw my dad. We had been through this routine for three years in a row, but I knew that this time would be the last. I handed my bowl of pie dough off to my little sister, grabbed my shoes, and went out to meet Dad on the driveway. Posted by Jennifer Ricks. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Gordon B...

Thursday, December 9, 2010. What I Didn't Say. 8220;Just try to stick to Elder Oak’s conference talk on testimony,” Brother Wallace’s voice message said when he gave us our speaking assignment for the following Sunday. When I got up to speak, my talk only covered one of my bullet points. I kept all my personal experiences in and related them to that one point. I felt guided as I spoke, even in details such as where in the congregation to look and where to pause. My sacrament meeting talk was a teaching m...

Thursday, July 31, 2008. August, and the Book of Mormon. August. The month makes me think of hot sunshine, weary air conditioners, lemonade cravings, cold backyard pools, premature back to school anxiety—and an urgent desire to read the Book of Mormon. As I started packing, I went through all the memories I had stored for all my growing up years. In a box under my bed I found a packet of. I felt like I could use a great spiritual boost just before I moved away from home for the first time. August 2005 wa...

A Perfect Brightness: Shining as a Nightlight
http://aperfectbrightness.blogspot.com/2010/12/shining-as-nightlight.html
Wednesday, December 8, 2010. Shining as a Nightlight. 8220;We need a nightlight,” my husband said. 8221; I repeated blankly. We were grownups—I hadn’t had a nightlight since I was about five. “Uh, honey,” I asked, “are you afraid of the dark? 8220;No, no, no,” my husband replied. He explained that we needed something so neither of us ran into anything if we had to take a trip to the bathroom in the middle of the night. 8220;Will it be enough light? 8221; he asked. It was still early evening in the summer...
