Children of Divorce
I recently read a divorce support book that I completely identify with, "Reflections From a Broken Mirror--Spiritual Values I Learned As an LDS Child of Divorce" by Deborah Eldrege Milne. Because my parents were divorced when I was a teenager, in addition to having been divorced myself, I am also a product of a divorced family. Reading Deborah's book helped to put some of the pieces back together. Writes Deborah, "What I realize is that in the ten years since my parents' divorce, I have grow... read more
The Blessings of Divorce
Although the word divorce seldom brings more than thoughts of sadness, heartbreak, and painful separation, it can also represent, for some people, a new start and a fresh beginning. Elder Oaks in his April 2007 conference talk entitled, "Divorce" made an interesting observation: "(Divorce) is a sensitive subject because it evokes such strong emotions from persons it has touched in different ways.

Elder Baxter's Great Talk
I truly appreciated Elder Baxter's talk to single women at the Saturday afternoon session of general conference. Raised by a single mother, himself, I found it very encouraging to know that a struggling woman, alone in the gospel, can raise a child that can be called as a general authority. Pretty wonderful! Here are a few lines from his talk that I found insightful: "Bless you for avoiding the type of companionship that would come at the expense of virtue and discipleship." Doesn't it feel goo... read more

General Conference is Coming!
In preparation for this week's general conference sessions, Ken and I have been reviewing our November Ensign from last October's conference talks. Elder Robert D. Hales' address, "Waiting Upon the Lord" has touched my heart again. Here are a few thoughts I would like to share with you, my single brothers and sisters of the church: We are reminded that even our Savior, Jesus Christ, suffered temptation and exercised His agency to resist and bear up under trial. When we are tempted to cry out in frustration... read more
