Welcome! This is post 1. To kick off this blog, here’s a bit about me and the purpose of this blog! I’m Christina and I’m a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. That being said, I am in no way an official representative of the church, so don’t take what I […]
What Fall Can Really Mean
I’m looking at fall differently this year than I have in the past. Recently, I had a conversation with my mom that changed my perspective on it. And it all started with a tree. See, I’ve always loved fall. Mostly for the typical, cliche things. The crisp air, fresh apples, colorful leaves, starting to wear […]
We Lived After the Manner of Happiness
There’s a perspective in the world that I feel like I come across more and more. A perspective that I’m not sure I understand, but that I do play into sometimes. It’s a perspective that we all want happiness but live in sadness, misery, depression, etc. And that’s how life is, so there’s nothing we […]

No One Gets a Free Pass From Judgment
I’ve talked a lot on this blog about how we aren’t perfect beings. We’re human, we mess up, that’s life, and that’s why Christ did the Atonement. We can make mistakes, learn from them, and become better than we were. But now I want to make sure that something is clear – when I say […]
How God’s Infinite Love Reaches Everyone
So last week I talked about how we are God’s children – we can choose to believe that or not, but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s a fact. But what, other than our perspective, is changed by knowing that we are God’s children? And does He really love all of His children? ALL […]
