While looking for tonight’s inspiration, I found a talk be Elder Nelson that was all about prayer. While I recommend it, I realized it didn’t have the feeling I was looking for tonight. It’s becoming more challenging to find verses that speak to me. You may have noticed that I’ve Read more…
I have missed doing my personal scripture study lately. This prayer blog takes enough time that I don’t generally double up. No excuse, I know…. As I started the year another goal of mine was to write my thoughts after reading the scriptures, take my study more meaningful. Yeah, I Read more…
