Think about the last time you cooked an egg. Maybe you hard-boiled it and turned it into egg salad. Or you fried it so you could dip toast and bacon into the yolk. You might have scrambled the egg, or mixed the egg into brownie batter or cookie dough. When you cooked this egg, you […]

Christ’s Sacrifice and Ours
I don’t know about you, but I am really good at thinking about all the ways I need to change to be a better person. All the things I am bad at, or mess up, or quit. These things pile up in my head, and it can be pretty hard to get rid of them. […]
8 Ways to Show Your Love for Christ
Earlier this week, I came across an invitation to think of ways I could show more love for Christ. My first thoughts were, of course, to pray, read my scriptures, go to church, take the Sacrament, and go to the temple. You know, the things we talk about a lot in church. But after those […]
Christ’s Cleansing Power
Earlier today, I put my hands on the back of my desk chair and, to my surprise (and disgust), found that it was covered in dust. I use my desk chair pretty often, but I had never noticed it getting dusty because the back is almost always covered with a cardigan that I keep on […]
A Little Lift
This has been one of those weeks. You know the ones. The week when I end up tired, not just physically, but emotionally. When I’m sick of dealing with problems that I can’t control. And when things haven’t started to look up yet. I’m sure you can relate. We all hit weeks like that. What […]

As I was prepping to write this post, I looked over several articles on loneliness, and they all say similar things, like: Loneliness is common and widespread. The […]
3 Things to Remember When You Feel Like Giving Up
Mary knelt beside the empty garden tomb, tears streaming down her face with renewed grief and sorrow, when she heard Him ask, “Woman, why weepest thou?” Thinking the gardener had approached her, Mary turned to Him, asking Him to lead her to His body. If it was missing, she would recover it. His enemies had […]
Our Second Chance from Christ
In the Logan Temple, there is a painting of Jesus calling Lazarus from his tomb. It’s one of my favorite ones in the temple right now. And with today being Easter, the story of Lazarus being raised from the dead feels so relevant. There are two things in this painting that strike me every time […]
Jesus’s Last Return to Jerusalem
Two thousand years ago, Jesus Christ entered Jerusalem for the last time. Unlike His previous entrances to the city, this last approach was lauded and celebrated. Palm fronds waved around Him as He rode serenely past on a borrowed donkey, surrounded by His followers and apostles. Jesus knew, long before this impressive entrance into Jerusalem, […]
4 Simple Ways to Know Christ Personally
So you’ve read about Christ in the scriptures. And you’ve gone to church and talked about Him there. It’s something you’ve heard so many times that you can tell anyone about Jesus and what we believe about Him. You know about Jesus Christ. But do you know Him personally? I wonder that a lot. What […]
