Love
Sometimes it is so difficult to know what to do in certain situations. I know that as I continue to give the spirit time to be with me, by praying, scripture study and reading conference talks it becomes easier to make those decisions. It even makes life less stressful and […]
Goliath
There have been many Goliaths in my life. I have not always become the David in the story either. Sometimes because of been so intimidated and just out right scared I have backed down. Really this is about fear. I don’t know about David, I think he is kind of […]
