Image
I absolutely love Meridian Magazine!  This is a very inspirational article to help us in making sound New Year's Resolutions!  I'M GOING TO TRY IT! 5 Resolutions for My Health for the New Year By Scot Facer Proctor  · December 29, 2018 It’s nearly January again—it just seems like last year we went through this same passage of time!  We all want to make New Year’s Resolutions we can keep.  At some level we all want to take care of ourselves and improve our health.  Here are 5 resolutions you can keep—at least they will give you something serious to ponder about as you chart your own goals for health and wellness.

Sometimes life just goes along – things get busy and you’re kind of caught in the thick of thin things and then, out of nowhere you are awakened from life’s tasks and you re-evaluate everything you hold dear. That’s what happened to me the morning of November 8, 2018 – the day of the Paradise Fire. My son Joseph on his LDS Mission in Paradise with his second cousin once removed, Jayne Franck and our beloved Morris Family Cookbook Cookbooks and Family Stories But let’s rewind a couple of weeks.

today is the Prophet Joseph Smith's 213rd birthday!  I posted this on December 23, 2016, and I want to post it again! FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23, 2016 766. Today is the Prophet Joseph Smith's birthday! 212 years ago today he was born! I also reaffirm my testimony this year, 2017! This year, 2016, I reconfirm my testimony which has been shared 4 times now -- 2013, 2014, 2015, and now 2016. I have loved the Prophet Joseph Smith, and learning about him as long as I can consciously remember!   I was born of goodly parents who also loved him and taught me of him.  I love to read of his life and teachings.  I know that he is a true prophet!  This same entry was posted on his birthday since I started this post in 2013 (with alterations each year).  I hope you enjoy reading it!  (in 2014) I hope whoever reads this has a few minutes to ponder these testimonies about the Prophet Joseph Smith, whose birthday is today.  Part of these words were written l
