Mother's Day!

Dear Readers,

Happy 129th Mother's day of this year! Yep, that's right. I've decided that mothers need to be celebrated every day and not just one day every year. So here's to all you mothers out there:

Here's to the mothers whose children have odd friends that come over and eat all their food.

Here's to the mothers who work tirelessly to make their homes run smoothly, including cooking cleaning and all other forms of home-making.

Here's to the mothers go to countless preformances for their children, whether the children want them there or not.

Here's to the mothers who are marvelously talented and share their talents with their kids.

Here's to the mothers who put up with husbands, whether they're annoying or the best husband on the planet(yes, you have to put up with them, too).

Here's to the mothers who let friends stay over late and bring them into debates over the validity of Chuck Norris as a world leader.

Here's to the mothers who support their husbands in their various activities.

Here's to the mothers who are there for children who need a shoulder to cry on.

Here's to the mothers who are there for children who need someone to wrestle them, and usually win.

Here's to the mothers who stay up late to rock their child to sleep when they can't fall asleep themselves.

Here's to the mothers that go through painful medical when their children need it.

Here's to the mothers who aren't mothers, they work hard for their adopted children.

Here's to the mothers who will be mothers. It is a high calling.

Here's to the mother of all mothers, who lives in heaven and will be waiting for us when all her children come back and stay with her.

Happy Mother's Day!

Book of Mormon Stories

Dear Reader, Today I simply want to share a story that has strengthened my testimony of the Book of Mormon over the years. Professor Felix Mynhardt was fluent in many languages, including English, Afrikaans, Hebrew and Egyptian, as well as many others. He was employed as a language professor when he had been praying that the Lord would give him some divinely important task that would justify his having this gift of language from God. In 1970 he visited with a group of Mormon leaders, who sought to commission him to translate the Book of Mormon from English into Afrikaans. He said that he knew of the Book of Mormon from his religions studies, and his initial reaction was that he did not want to be involved in translating it. However, that evening, as he prayed upon his knees, as was his habit, he said the Spirit of the Lord convinced him. The message was something on the order of, "You asked me for a great, divinely inspired task of translation, I sent it to you in the form o...

Am I Proud to Be an American?

This weekend is the 4th of July, or Independence Day in the United States of America. One of my favorite songs during this time of celebrating the country is "God Bless the USA." The words paint a detailed picture of the beauty of the United States, both in a physical and emotional aspect. Our country is often depicted in a majestic manner such as this, making it seem like the greatest in the world and we often hear those bold words, "I'm proud to be an American."  With all of the issues that have been cropping up over the past couple of years such as impeachment, systemic racism, foreign intervention, and most significantly the COVID-19 pandemic, I have reflected deeply about what we celebrate with the 4th of July. These issues are just a few of the many that have made me wonder about the country we praise so proudly.  Am I really proud to be an American?  Thomas Jefferson wrote the candid words of the Declaration of Independence, which were th...

I Don't Wanna Be Anything Other Than Me

Dear Reader,  I work online at one of my part-time jobs. Sometimes it is required of me to look up a person's credentials or accomplishments to better fill out a description of their time on the radio. This means I do Google searches quite frequently to find their websites, their social media profiles, etc. By no means am I a guru on the world wide web, but I have been around the internet a few times. Why does any of this matter to you, reader? It matters because I have found a few things that are essential to being safe online. As much as anyone hates to admit, the persona built on the web greatly affects the actual person outside of technology. It matters because we need to review the tips on how to remain safe online regularly.  Here is a quick example of how important it is to monitor what you put online. If you put "Dale Lundstrom" into a Google search, there are 743 results as of today. A good number of those have nothing to do with me, it's true. Howe...
