A heavenly perspective…
“Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.” 1 Corinthians 15:58 (ESV).

    My overall goal in life is to wake up every morning and not dread going to work. I want to be able to face a new challenge, help others, and make a difference no matter how big or small. I want to take pride into what I do and not just think of my job as an action to survive. I believe it is difficult to do so in a scene where a good handful of people do not give you the full respect deserved. In the article “Congregation Gone Wild”, G. Jeffrey MacDonald claims that Congregations have shifted their way of approaching their audience in order to “sooth” churchgoers and keep them on their side.…

    Learning to entrust in God, I am beginning to live life courageously and more engaged and in tuned to the priceless things life has to offer like interpersonal relationships. My worth is not measured by my failures but only by the limitations I placed upon myself. During my spiritual journey I realize self-assessments and evaluations are essentials to overcome personal challenges with integrity, commitment and boldness. As I navigate through life, it is not in my personal powers to control my surroundings but my behavior responses and personal choices. “I am not a product of my circumstances.…

    Over 15 years ago, Robert Nash (2011) developed a new academic writing style called Scholarly Personal Narrative (SPN). For the first time in academics the unacceptable use of the ‘subjective I [me]’was acceptable in scholarly writing. Before SPN only the ‘objective they [we]’ was appropriate for research because scholars believed that only experts could support an agreeable or disagreeable topic. Nash (2011) wanted SPN to become, “a respectable research genre in higher education, particularly in the professional schools” (p. 4), so he wrote his first book, Liberating Scholarly Writing: The Power of Personal Narrative (2004).…

    About a week ago Brother Caudle asked, and I use that term loosely because there really was no asking involved, me to give my Talk today on how the song that we just sang affected my life and how I am preparing to serve a mission. To be prepared for your mission you must have the simple things down. Things such as having a testimony of the church, which is the simplest thing yet also the most powerful and important. I feel this is one of the most major connections we can have to God so that when you become a missionary and begin to teach his children we can have the spirit to be with us, because even though the missionaries are the ones out there teaching they aren't teaching alone, but rather being guided by the spirit, making up for all…

    Throughout my life the phrase, “You can’t quit now, you’ve already made it this far” has been thrown around by my coaches, teachers, family members and friends. It has been this constant reminder that I should always push onward through the challenges I face in life. The challenges that make it difficult to want to persevere and cause me to struggle to reach my goals. It was this constant reminder, that no matter the challenges that we face in our lives, the struggles that may set us back from our daily routines or the problems that may arise throughout our journey, we can overcome them, push them behind us, and advance onward with our life in happiness. I’ve come to discover that this simple phrase of not quitting because you’ve made it so…
