Blessings of Scripture Study

Based on CFM Old Testament – Nehemiah 8 For generations in captivity, the Jews had limited access to “the book of the law of Moses.” Nehemiah 8:1 When the people gathered to hear the scriptures, they were united and eager to hear God’s word. “All the people stood up” (v. 5) They showed reverence and […]

Family Work – We’re All in This together!

I was searching for a specific quote/story today on this here blog and realized how much I appreciate having these words to look back on. Not the most raw journaling record (as it’s public and all), but it’s something. Wanted to share today’s thoughts on Family Work… on contributing to home and family. It’s been […]

São Paulo – April 26-28: BYU Wind Symphony Brazil Tour

Abe has been traveling in Brazil with his BYU Band the past 2 weeks. I believe he’s enjoyed it more than he anticipated. It’s nerve-wracking to go to a new country with different sites, sounds, smells, food, language, culture. But what an adventure!!I don’t have many of the trip details as they have been busy […]

Smith Family Sacrament Meeting

Today Eliza gave a sacrament meeting talk on Love. It was so cute helping her write it. It was just her style and very sweet. She colored each time Love was mentioned. For Sunday School, Hannah, Max, and Abe each prepared 2 sections of the first Preach my Gospel lesson. They taught about God, Jesus […]

Words of the Year 2020

Eliza and I have been doing a 3×5 art-card-a-day project. Wanting to think on a solid topic that had been in my mind, I thought I’d digitally create word art. Not very artsy but it’s important to my heart so I’ll count it. FAITHFUL…. Not just faith, but one who is full of faith, one […]
