Her Life is Balanced

One thing that has always eluded me about Molly is the idea that she does everything. Because when I try really hard to live one principal of the gospel, my efforts in other areas of the gospel seem to diminish. Here are some ways I 

She Loves Meat and Potatoes

So, I got some phone calls today, from friends in Arizona and Utah about the lesson on the Word of Wisdom in Sunday School yesterday. I wasn’t actually at church yesterday so I couldn’t say for sure but according to my friend’s interpretation of the lesson, we don’t have to worry 

She knows her Economy

So there you are in church and you lay your baby’s blanket down during Relief Society, add some toys and hope you might get the gist of the lesson before baby’s attention span runs out, when out of the blue comes another baby from across the

She Has a Green Thumb

I could go on about the bugs in my square foot garden or the dissappointment I feel when my plants keep dying, or how much I hate my black thumb. I can barely keep a house plant alive! But I only have one word for 

She Loves Her “Friend”

One of the many Molly’s I’ve met, had two subscriptions to the “Friend” magazine. One for her children to play with and write in and one for her to keep for lessons, talks and Family Home Evenings. You can even get bound magazines now. The 

She Applauds the Successes of Others

Ok, maybe it is easier for someone who is good at EVERYTHING to be able to applaud someone else’s success. She knows it doesn’t diminish her own talents any. The truth is no matter how good we are at something there is always someone better than
