We Stand All Amazed that the Lord can do impossible math. As we recently learned when we met Dallas Jenkins, Creator of The Chosen, the Lord will multiply our efforts. As we show up with our meager loaves and fish, the Lord will do the “impossible math”, as Jenkins calls it, to feed the 5,000. We Stand All Amazed at the love Jesus offers us. We “marvel that he would descend from his throne divine / To rescue a soul so…
Dallas Jenkins isn’t worried about the multiplication. No, we’re not talking about new math that made helping with homework nearly impossible for me after my kids hit the 3rd grade. We’re talking about loaves and fishes. The creator of The Chosen, a TV series based on the Life of Jesus of Nazareth, was in Logan Wednesday evening for the USU Arrington Lecture Series at the USU Russell/Wanlass Performance Hall. Jenkins referenced several times the New Testament story of the feeding…
In the well-known poem “Footprints In The Sand”, a weary traveler realizes “at the very lowest and saddest times in his life” there was just one set of footprints. Upon sharing his concerns, the Lord gently teaches His “precious child” that “During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.” The Old Testament Prophet Jacob, as he dreamed of a ladder reaching up into heaven, also…
The robins in our front tree drive our cat absolutely nuts! Meet Mr. Troye Sivan. TROYE SIVAN Troye Sivan, named after a singer Leslie adores, has a fascination with the robins. He loves to sit in the window sill, or on the front porch swing, and watch as they dart about scurrying for food and nest building material I remember the first time Troye climbed up into the tree after the birds. He scurried up fast, nearly reaching the top…

The love I feel on Valentine’s Day starts with the love of my life. It will be 33 years this Thursday, February 17, when we officially started this journey of love. Through this journey we’ve added more Valentine’s into our life, more balloons to carry us forward with determination and upward with love. The balloons of love expanded as our family grew, with experiences and trials, and through the generous gifts of life. Sometimes balloons may deflate or pop, yet…
What are the beacons in your life??? To start with, let’s simply understand a beacon is a “light or other visible object serving as a signal, warning, or guide.” The mighty lighthouses providing guidance for ships at sea are beacons. A buoy floating in water indicating the presence of underwater hazards is a beacon. Airport lights guiding pilots to a safe landing are beacons. There are also those people we would call “Life Beacons.” Life Beacons are those people we…

When it comes to building a business, the answer is our network. When it comes to growing sales, the answer is our network. When it comes to leading a team, the answer is our network. Whether created through in-person relationship building or gained through marketing and sales efforts, our network is vital to every aspect of creating and maintaining a successful and effective business. Unfortunately, too often we make the erroneous assumption if a person is “in our network” then they…
Sharing our voice, writing, speaking, or singing, may not be a natural thing for you. It’s not for me either. At one point, walking, talking and eating weren’t natural either. But I learned just like you did. By doing. We can learn and develop anything we want to. Even the most difficult tasks or skills can be learned and developed. When we focus our efforts, clarify our message, and share our story we can create a lasting impact. I can’t…
