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.

A Ticket to Hogwarts

I was rereading the Harry Potter series again (I have lost count as to how many times I have read it now). As I read, I thought wouldn't it be amazing if that world were real and if we had a way to be a part of it. Imagine what people would be willing to do if you told them they could go to Hogwarts and learn to be witches and wizards. All they had to do was complete a list of requirements. People would stop at nothing to qualify. Then it hit me that our Heavenly Father has given us a list of requirements to go to a place far more magnificent than a wizard world. We can go to the world where He dwells and where we can learn to be like Him. The reality of that world far exceeds any of our imaginations, even that of J K Rowling. This life, if you will, is the SAT test for us to earn our spot. If we truly understood what awaits us, no temptation great or small would be able to sway us from our path home to our Father.
