Come Follow Me: Living and Learning of Jesus Christ’s Gospel

Scripture study for me this year has been an amazing adventure! The president of the church I am a member of (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, known most commonly as the “Mormon” church) issued a new curriculum for Sunday School and also for personal and family study. It is a Christ-centered study of the New Testament called Come Follow Me.

Come Follow Me is truly inspired of…

No, I will not expound upon the nostalgia of beach balls bouncing along the burning sands of sunny SoCal beaches; I won’t say how much I love going out on hot nights to the local frozen yogurt shop, and I don’t dare mention something so prosaic as loving my three-month liberation from college classes. Those things are all the fundamentals of Summer and the easiest to rattle off. Summer is subtler…

Easter is one of my favorite holidays. I love the feeling of new life and change that accompanies the Easter season. Most of all, I love how Easter helps me refocus on what really matters, the Savior. “This Holy Week, change is possible #BECAUSEofHIM. ”                                                              Happer Easter!      

During the summer twilight, I fix myself to a bench in the park. Lamplight glows among the swaying trees; Lovers, Children, Beings full of Life stroll before me. They do not stop or care to talk to a spectator. I am left alone with the stars and the fireflies, yet they do not stay with me for long. I stare across a flaxen meadow; small brown birds swoop above its grasses and earth-bound creatures…

A summer sky. A moonrise during a windy night. My brother’s drone footage of Chrystal Cove. A summer morning. My sister’s birthday balloons Sycamore seeds. A torrent of rain about to drop on my house. Me. Parched grasses and sycamore trees swaying in a hot summer breeze. A butterfly caught in a sunburst. Kili Rowdy Cagney Intersecting jet streams.

There are some days when creativity storms my mind. I am inspired to do about hundred things at once. On these sorts of days I feel constricted by my only having two hands. I want to do so many things at once, to create so many things, to discover so many things. The call to create is strong. I must make something with my hands; translate what I am feeling into something physical; the momentary…

What could be more complex than figuring out our purpose in life? And what can be more comforting than finally understanding it? I believe we can find the purpose of our life through God’s word. That is why I am extending an invitation to you to watch a worldwide devotional for young adults that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is broadcasting on Sunday, January 14, 2018, at 6:00…

Oh, if I could solve the enigma, If I could meet your mind’s hunger And fill that need you cling to.   That need that gnaws at your strength And isolates you from joy, And makes me sorrow to see you so bereft of hope.   I’ve felt the desire for commemoration I know the need for anonymity. There seems no space between.   The struggle is there. That need I have felt. The moment when the future…

All these waves that foam and crash All these dreams that never last There they are, foundering in the past They once ascended to lofty heights They once glistened in the setting sun Their time is gone, their glory done But ideas push forward, they won’t be fettered And the waves regain their raging speed Dreams; ideas; they rise, the water’s strength is freed Where does it end? There’s a sea of…

    Some things I love about nature: When the spring sky is a soft blue and the clouds amble carelessly above the fresh green grasses. Tiny buds line the branches of the trees, some allowing their captive blossoms to burst forth in snowy petals. The world feels fresh and young, and dons its most innocent colors. Swimming in the ocean on a day when the sun shines gold and silver through the water…

    The imagination is a powerful tool. It enhances the past, present, and future. An ordinary day can be transformed by the whir of an intangible adventure. Wonder can fill the vapid spaces of the mind. Expectations can be sweetened to the point of obsession. Surroundings can shift their shapes and fill the senses with either dread or delight. Avenues of possibilities and connections can shoot…

Lately, I’ve realized that I need to revitalize this blog. Give it a chance to blossom without being bound by one topic (Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator, or MBTI). The blog is a bit like me, it can’t focus on one thing for too long. I like to write and I enjoy sharing my ideas, so this blog will become an outlet for my mental ramblings. MBTI will always fascinates me, so it will still pop up in my…

I have been kindly nominated by TimeTravelingHobbit for a Liebster Award! Liebster is a German word for “kindest”, “sweetest”, or “pleasant”.  Blogs that have under 200 followers are nominated, then each nominated blogger follows a set of instructions I will present down below. I think this is a lovely thing to award somebody with and am excited to pick some of my own nominees. But before I do I…

First of all, I don’t know why I didn’t share this video before. Watch it! Special feelings will arise in your heart.  For about a month now, I’ve taken up a challenge put forth by a leader in my church. I have been reading and marking every verse in scriptures in connection with Jesus Christ. I have noticed a change in my faith. I feel I know more about Jesus Christ. I feel I am not so caught in…

My memory: I don’t remember anything distinctly; apparitions of certain situations coupled with their vague impressions are all that I can truly recall. This subject matter came to mind while I was watching To Kill A Mockingbird. The movie set me thinking of how my memory works. It set me wondering about my childhood, and as a result I have a bit of a stream of thought for a post.  When I think…

Image Credit I hop onto my bike. I feel a strange vigor in my legs as I set my feet against the peddles. The road passes smoothly beneath me. The wind rushes in my ears. I am speeding, speeding away….the road winds before me in an alluring manner. It’s exhilarating! Haha! I feel I own the road! I am alive and can move and breath………and then the road stops! Ah, where has it gone? A blank space, no…
