About This Blog

I am starting this blog to document the life lessons I learn each day. I want a record for myself and my children. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the posts will often reflect and share my beliefs. I have been blessed to be able to see eternal lessons in everyday events. What I struggle with is their application. I believe God gives me constant mini epiphanies to keep me on the straight and narrow path back to him. I admire those who stalwartly march forward with a firm faith that does not need to be constantly renewed by reminders. I have chosen to share my lessons in hopes that they may help others who need a nudge or pick-me-up on their journey home.

Aiming for the Millennium

I find the commandment to be perfect as God is perfect, to be completely overwhelming. When I mentally start listing all of the changes I need to make to achieve the goal, discouragement is sure to follow. Instead I now focus on baby steps. My aim is not perfection; my aim is the millennium. I figure if I can keep my proverbial oil lamp full enough to be worthy to be counted with the righteous on millennial morn, I will have one thousand temptation free years to work on ironing out more of my imperfections. That focus keeps me moving forward without despair.
