Portraits of Faith

Unfailing Kindness

I know that the Lord is accomplishing His work with us in ways we can’t possibly appreciate. I know that the Lord continually orchestrates the intersection of our lives with others to achieve His work.

A Slowly Focusing Vision of the Atonement

Ten years from now, will I come back to this and realize how much I only knew in part? Perhaps. But a lifetime of seeing through a glass, darkly, a journey of slowly focusing vision, has brought me a deep love for the Savior and His Atonement, and for that, I kind of like it.

May We Love Everybody

May it make a difference in our lives. May we become a Zion people. May we love everybody. May we mourn with everybody.

Looking Up at the Temple Brings Peace

Time in the Temple will help you to think celestial and to catch a vision of who you really are, who you can become, and the kind of life you can have forever. Regular temple worship will enhance the way you see yourself and how you fit into God’s magnificent plan.

Hold Fast to the Word of God

Brothers and sisters, I leave you my bishop’s blessing. I pray for you. The Lord wants you to have a new relationship with the scriptures. He wants to teach you.

The Grace of Christ

I love my Savior. And I love that Christ’s grace gives us the power and potential to become like Him!

Building a Reservoir of Faith

In retrospect, we can see that the time we spent longing, questioning, and wishing, was exactly what we needed to build a reservoir of faith we could tap into when we faced the difficulties of parenting precocious young children.

I Will Rise

Alex Boye and Angela Lijenquist share their testimony through music that because He is risen from the dead we can also rise with Him and through Him.

Finding Joy Through Trials

My wife in fact did beat this nasty disease and was called home in January of 2022. Although this has been a tough couple of years, we find great joy in knowing that she does not suffer any more and that the promise of that priesthood blessing was fulfilled.

Letting Go of Our Own Will

My prayers have shifted from asking for what I want to ask to be open to what He wants for me. I have a lot to give, and I have some ideas on how I can share my gifts.
