Job Security
PoeticIntensity
I've been pondering on how I am to write about this without seeming haughty or prideful, because quite honestly, I feel nothing more than blessed beyond words.
When I was offered this job, it just felt right. Six months previous to my being offered this job, I was offered another job in SLC which seemed right in every aspect but the fact th...

Gen. Conf. - Neighbor - Burton

Reading this talk from Bish H. David Burton really made me feel good. It brought the Spirit of God into my little work office and made me realize how much good there is to be done in the world.
I personally had no idea the church was doing so much to help so many people. I knew of some major disasters in which the church lent a huge h...

I just finished reading the first talk given during the Priesthood Session of conference.
Elder Cook talks of the need to give heed to the words of our prophets.
I think of the things in my life I'm doing wrong, and I feel the truth in his words. I need to heed the prophet's counsel more earnestly in many areas of my life.

Definitely makes me want to both learn about and obey my Heavenly Father...
