Monday Morning Boost: Creating A Vision Board of Greatness!

Comments 0 Comment

Why does creating a story of greatness make a difference? Because the story we most consistently create for ourselves will be the story to most consistently comes true in our lives. Jack Canfield supports this assumption: “Your brain will work tirelessly to achieve the statements you give your subconscious mind. And when those statements are the affirmations and images of your goals, you are destined to achieve them!” Creating a better story will help you: discover more opportunities and fewer…

How do you see Jesus Christ? What do you feel when you think of Him? While Jesus has many titles and roles, we invite you today to consider His role as the Savior. Precious Savior, dear Redeemer, Thy sweet message now impart. May thy Spirit, pure and fervid, Enter ev’ry timid heart; Carry there the swift conviction, Turning back the sinful tide. Precious Savior, dear Redeemer, May each soul in thee abide. For many years I saw Jesus as the…

Monday Morning Boost: Perfectly Imperfect Moms & Dads

Monday Morning Boost: Perfectly Imperfect Moms & Dads

Comments 0 Comment

The best moms and dads are perfectly imperfect. They stumble and they get back up. They screw up and they get back up. They try one technique, then another, give up, then try again. They love completely even though they sometimes wonder if their actions truly echo their heart. They stay up late, helping a child, or worrying about a child. They drop to their knees in prayer and stand strong in support. They wonder how they can ever do…

Sunday Reflections – Shall We Gather At The River

Rivers have often been a place of quiet stillness for Elisa and me. One of our favorite places to go camping is Logan Canyon, right here in our backyard, where we can spend time right next to the Logan River. Shall we gather at the river? Where bright angel feet have trod With its crystal tide forever Flowing by the throne of God “Shall We Gather At The River” is a traditional Christian hymn originally written in 1864 by Robert…

Sunday Reflections – Our Heavenly Father Loves Me (Valentine’s Day Special)

Happy Valentine’s Day! Or, maybe not… Whenever I hear the song of a bird Or look at the blue, blue sky, Whenever I feel the rain on my face Or the wind as it rushes by, While Valentine’s Day for many is a day of love and romance, for many it is not. Maybe it’s because they don’t have a dedicated love interest in their life. Or maybe it’s because they simply don’t feel love. Maybe this person is you….

Hey my friends, I missed sharing a Monday Morning Boost with you last week. It was the first time in ten years (as of Feb 21st) I have not shared my weekly thoughts.

“Love that view!” That’s the first thing our oldest son Cody said when we came into Cache Valley Sunday afternoon on our return trip from the Salt Lake Airport. Granted, the view of this beautiful valley we call home is always stunning when you first enter driving north out of Sardine Canyon. That spectacular view, even with a bit of inversive haze today, meant a whole lot more for Cody on his first trip back home in two and half…

Monday Morning Boost: I Was Once Not a Natural

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…

Sunday Reflections: Consider The Lilies

Sunday Reflections: Consider The Lilies

Comments 0 Comment

When Roger Hoffman composed in 1980 the melody for the beloved hymn “Consider The Lilies,” the words that became lyrics immediately flowed into his mind. Consider the lilies of the field, How they grow, how they grow. Consider the birds in the sky, How they fly, how they fly. The words kept flowing till he felt he was done. But as he rose from the piano bench, he felt impressed there was more. “I was about to rise from the…
