A Product of my Generation
Like many in Generation X I was a solitary child. I have younger sisters but I was mostly expected to leave them alone while I was entertaining myself. I had a few friends here and there on the weekends and summer camp, but by and large I was allowed to take care of myself from…

I Bought A Mug
I have a decent collection of coffee mugs and this is my newest addition. The verse I am choosing to take out of context today is the one in Doctrine & Covenants 89 about hot drinks. I brewed that last of my cocoa instead of coffee to break it in. I’m not supposed to have…

Choices We Can Make
