Merry Christmas

Desire change, and let it be your guiding star.

When a Child is Born

A ray of hope flickers in the sky
A tiny star lights up way up high

All across the land dawns a brand new morn',
This comes to pass when a child is born.

A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds of change whisper in the trees

And the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn,
This comes to pass when a child is born.

It's all a dream, an illusion now.
It must come true some time soon somehow
All across the land dawns a brand new morn',
This comes to pass when a child is born.
When a child is born. 

Life as Prayer

Submission, after all, is the ultimate adoration.

- Quote from "Not My Will, But Thine" by Neal Maxwell

Salvation

Let the affections of thine heart be placed upon God forever, 
for it shall be as a man who built his house upon rock. 

- Quote by David A. Bednar, October 2008 LDS Conference

Temporal Relations

Who can say where the road goes

Where the day flows, only time

And who can say if your love grows

As your heart chose, only time

Who can say why your heart sighs

As your love flies, only time

And who can say why your heart cries

When your love lies, only time

Who can say when the roads meet

That love might be in your heart

And who can say when the day sleeps

If the night keeps all your heart

Night keeps all your heart

Who can say if your love grows

As your heart chose

- Only time

And who can say where the road goes

Where the day flows, only time

Who knows? Only time

Our Father which art in heaven

In search...

of light.

Essence

The only thing more important than being good is being real. Authenticity is kinder than resignation without conviction. Truth leads to good faster than good leads to truth. Ultimately, truth is good, but you have to live it from the inside out.

We care for our inner lives

because we care about our evolution as a humankind. And because we recognize how the thoughts, feelings, and actions of each and every human being contributes to this evolution.
