Portraits of Faith

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.

Whispering of the Spirit

After being shaken up so much from the experience and not understanding what happened, I reflected on the subtle thoughts I had had and how I had not acted upon them.

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.

Finding Faith

So, this confirmed to me that the Lord was not finished with me, he needed me to teach the children in our ward the power of music and the importance of his word through song.

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.

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.

Glimpse Into Eternity

In some ways, the sealing power has greater meaning as life unfolds. The Temple is many things: a house of study, a house of order, of learning, of faith and glory. Most of all a house of love.

Don’t Take the Good Things for Granted

When a hardship comes along, it may seem overwhelming, and we may feel an immense sense of loss. Most things we lose are temporary. An eternal perspective is important. The things that matter most and the things we should pursue have a more eternal impact.

This Way to Joy

“Lord, Jesus,“ I prayed, “forgive me and help me to forgive him.” I tried to smile. I struggled to raise my hand but I could not. I felt nothing, not the slightest spark of warmth or charity.

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.

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.

My Three Most Cherished Relationships

These three relationships are my foundation. They mean everything to me. I am so very grateful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints where I can continue to learn about, grow closer to, and develop my relationship with Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Ghost.

You don’t have to go through your life struggles alone. Reach out today.

We follow the counsel of our Savior to bear one another’s burdens, and to mourn with and comfort one another through life’s challenges.
