Distraction of Discombobulation
It started me thinking about the many times I experience other situations where I feel completely discombobulated and out of sorts. Sometimes I wish I had a place or a way to recombobulate and regroup.
Distraction of Dominoes
Do you remember playing dominoes? It is one of our “go to” family games. Typically we scatter the dominoes face-down on the table for each person to take a few. Then by matching the dots on the tile, each player proceeds to create a line or a “train” in hopes to be the first one…
A Mother’s Day Tribute

When we are struggling, it feels like we are walking in a constant darkness, unable to see or embrace the light.
Distraction of Defeat
Sometimes the most disappointing defeats have taught me the greatest lessons in flexibility, perseverance, tenacity, integrity, and dedication.

I hope that I would have the awareness of the presence of my Savior and savor the experience of standing on Holy Ground.
