Mother, I love you, Mother I do




Watch the video above. I came across it while perusing the internet this morning and I do believe it is something worth watching because we don't see enough of it in our everyday lives. 

I just wanted to take the post today and tell you all about my wonderful mother. She is the most kind-hearted person you will ever meet (Believe me, you will meet her sometime, whether you intend to or not). She has several great gifts, my favorite of which is her memory. Sometimes she can't remember what she did the day before, but she always remembers people. I dare you to have a 5-minute conversation with my mother. This is what will happen:

20 years from now, she will see you as she is driving/walking/meandering down the street. Not only will she recognize you by your face, but she will remember your name, everything you talked about in those 5 minutes from 20 years ago and the shirt you were wearing that day. Not to mention, she will probably have made connections with your family and ask you about how they are doing, too. After all of this, (Probably when she first sees you, too) she will give you a big hug. No matter who you are, where you're from or what kind of person you have become, she will love you and call you by name. 

That is just one of the many talents my mother has. Thus today I would like to highlight her and her amazing love for everyone. I love you, Mom!

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...
