Some may look at this old boat as run-down, broken and now useless.  I see it as just about the most charming little tugboat ever!  When you look in the mirror, don't give Satan the satisfaction of seeing only your mistakes.  You are a beloved child of God - and as such, you have divine potential.  Say that to the mirror on your next bad-hair day, or hard-life day.

General Conference just seems to get better and better.  Nothing compares to listening to the words of living prophets and apostles.  In anticipation of general conference April 4-5, 2015, I decided to post some of my favorite quotes from past conference talks.  Because praying for actual rain has been in my thoughts lately, I thought I'd start with this one.

One of my favorite places to scramble over rocks that have not been washed away is in Arches National Park.  It's beauty is breathtaking, but after putting this quote to this picture, it will always inspire me to be a bit stronger and live a bit closer to the Spirit.

I know of so many friends and loved ones that have lost someone close to them in the past few months.  This mossy cemetery in Alaska was a somber reminder of the temporary nature of this mortal life. This quote is especially poignant for all of us at one time or another.

This is one of my favorite photos - I think we took in in Alaska.  The photo however is beside the point.  The point is that life is hard and often seems unfair.  Still, we can choose to keep swimming and come out stronger, or choose to stop swimming and drown spiritually.

There are less painful ways to strengthen your faith as well - like choosing to Watch LDS General Conference in 7 days.

Countdown to LDS General Conference: 6 Days to Go

I love watching conference with my family (and knitting as I listen - let me tell you that a few rows twice a year means I might just finish the fisherman's sweater before I die).  Another place I love being with my family is the temple.  Being righteous in the temple isn't hard at all - the test is when you come home.

I love both this quote and this place.  This is a local fishing hole (where I've yet to catch a fish), but fishing is really just a footnote.  I love the peace and love that I feel here.  The same goes with this quote.  How much peace can we find when we truly internalize this truth!

Countdown to LDS General Conference: 3 Days to Go

I know, again with the moving vehicle thing - so I'm no photographer.  I loved this shot because it sort of captures the hectic pace our lives can take.  And above all the noise and traffic and deadlines and bills, we would do well to remember this:

Feel Heavenly Father's love for you personally as you Watch LDS General Conference in 3 days.

Countdown to LDS General Conference: 4 Days to Go

Ok, so taking a photo out the window of a moving vehicle never turns out well, but I just had to capture the amazing effect and atmosphere.  We were driving up the coast of northern California and a big fog-bank rolled in.  We could hardly see anything, and as we drove through this very murky and almost spooky-looking, primeval forest, the sun started to penetrate the gloom.  It was really neat and I thought it would make a great analogy for the power of prayer to work miracles in our lives.  He, the Son, can always dispel the gloom if we will but ask.

Seek for your own miracles as your prayerfully prepare to Watch LDS General Conference in 4 days.
