What If Prayer Works Even When Nobody Is Listening?
Here is a thought experiment I can't stop turning over. Two people are chasing the same hard goal — save money for six months straight, stick with a punishing training block, get through a brutal job search without quitting. Both are given the exact same instructions: do X, then Y, then Z, consistently, and don't stop when it gets hard.

At the April 2025 Latter-day Saint General Conference, Sister Tamara W. Runia raised two hands and kept one hand high, representing our worth. The other hand represented our obedience. The hand representing our worth never came down.

God Is Not Jealous
“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” We hear that ancient command and imagine a petty deity demanding attention: a jealous God, insecure and threatened by rival gods. So the modern ego smirks. I’ll choose an elephant, a guru, a crystal, a philosophy. I’ll take seventy-five percent of Christ and decorate the rest myself.

Isabel: Sings in the Dark
I asked my mom, “Why do you sing so much?” Her answer came quickly: “Because she likes singing.” She answered in the third person. Leti, our friend and caregiver, and I were surprised. We were pleasantly surprised. The noise she had been making for nearly ten hours consistently was not out of agitation but out of enjoyment.

Age 60 vs Age 40 - What's The Difference?
I’ve been asked this question so many times, especially by people who dread ageing, and worry constantly about it. My answer tends to be that there are key differences between the two stages, but not the fearful ones that they might imagine.

A Condensed Version to a Belief in God
In 1953, our Native American people were given the ability to purchase and drink liquor, after it being illegal for many years. I was born in 1954, so I saw many family members drinking alcohol. Many of them would be drunk, as that is how they drank.
