WELCOME! ~ A LITTLE ABOUT THIS BLOG...

Seeking to Know God, Our Heavenly Father, and His Son, Jesus Christ

"Without God, life would end at the grave and our mortal experiences would have no purpose. Growth and progress would be temporary, accomplishment without value, challenges without meaning. There would be no ultimate right and wrong and no moral responsibility to care for one another as fellow children of God. Indeed, without God, there would be no mortal or eternal life."
--Robert D. Hales, "“Seeking to Know God, Our Heavenly Father, and His Son, Jesus Christ", Ensign, Nov 2009, 29–32

Reflections on a Consecrated Life

"Every day, every hour, every minute of your span of mortal years must sometime be accounted for. And it is in this life that you walk by faith and prove yourself able to choose good over evil, right over wrong, enduring happiness over mere amusement. And your eternal reward will be according to your choosing."
--D. Todd Christofferson, "Reflections on a Consecrated Life", Media Name

Opportunity for Change in Marriage

Being married creates the opportunity for change. When you're married, you find out how much you need to improve yourself. It is prideful & selfish for anyone to get married & think they don't need to change in any way. Each of us needs to change in many ways, some more than others, but God will start with the one who is willing. And the good news is, this is where His blessings will be directed first. -S Omartian
