POV: Riding Motorcycles

My husband and I love riding motorcycles out on an open road. I love observing the intricate correlation of things as I ride.  None of these things are as observable while riding cocooned in a car, but on a bike, the interconnectedness all around me is so evident. Air I feel the chill clinging to the air until it’s suddenly gone with rising temperature.  I feel the sun’s warmth through my clothes.  We rode directly east this morning and the... Read more

Remembering Heather Powell

Last updated on: August 16, 2023 at 6:33 am   By Delisa Hargrove

15 August 2023. Heather Powell is gone. I just found out that Heather Kay Sabadin Powell, one of the most influential people in my life, passed away suddenly over the weekend.  She lived in Spokane, Washington, and a niece I’d never met messaged me the news. As I sat with this new reality, I thought of how Heather came to mind repeatedly Sunday morning and throughout the day. Think of her. Remember her.  I had glimpses of her in my... Read more

Chasing Meteors and Finding New Understanding

Last updated on: August 15, 2023 at 10:53 am   By Delisa Hargrove

0 Comments

After church, an invitation to go walking turned into a decision to meet in the middle of the night to chase the Perseid meteors.  Neither of our husbands were necessarily interested, so we happily took advantage of each other’s interest. I had a busy afternoon and my friend said she’d find a good place for us to go. At 11:00 pm, she pulled up at my house.  As I walked out the door, I grumbled about the very overcast sky. ... Read more

The Lord Will Bless You with Miracles

Last updated on: August 5, 2023 at 5:31 pm   By Delisa Hargrove

0 Comments

I’ve heard so often from scriptures and prophets: the Lord will bless you with miracles. And suddenly, unexpectedly, a miracle occured in our family.  It’s astounding, never before imagined in my wildest dreams.  While telling the story to my aunt, I mentioned President Russell M. Nelson’s general conference promises and how I focused on those as I began intentionally worshipping in the temple.  She asked for the quote I mentioned, and I realized the conference talk promises spanned the years... Read more

Women in Scripture: Examples of Keeping Covenants

I had the fun opportunity to share some thoughts about women in scripture at Girls Camp.  How awesome is it that the youth leaders preparing for camp made space in the busy schedule for daily scripture study, reflection, and a class on women in the scriptures!  Last year they asked me to speak about scripture study, and I used women in the scriptures for all my examples, so felt delighted that the youth wanted to continue that topic again. As... Read more

Some Meaningful Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith on the Anniversary of His Martyrdom

Last updated on: June 26, 2023 at 7:09 am   By Delisa Hargrove

June 27 marks the 179th anniversary of Joseph and Hyrum Smith’s martyrdom in Carthage Jail. The “Road to Carthage” discusses the sad tale. Our current Sunday night family book group book is Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith.  As June 27th approached, several meaningful quotes came to mind and I decided to honor one of my greatest heroes by sharing some of the most generally hopeful and inspiring (to me) quotes in Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith.  Other sections... Read more

Wounded Because ‘Nobody Rides for Free’

Last updated on: June 24, 2023 at 4:53 am   By Delisa Hargrove

We are all wounded, bruised, and battered as we traverse mortality.  A mundane task helped me see woundedness from a more objective perspective. Wounded As I finished peeling my second potato, I put it with the first and picked up another lovely brown russet potato. I began peeling.  The first swipe on the potato revealed some dark bruises. I hadn’t seen any indication that the potato was bruised at all.  As I continue peeling around the potato, bruises peppered that... Read more

Adversity by Sister Sydney Parmelee I’m Sister Parmelee. Growing up, my family always had a saying, “You can do hard things.” Now whether that was used when talking about taking out the trash or waking up for school in the morning, it has become such a focus in my life especially on my mission.   Adversity is a part of our life. We’ve been studying and teaching the plan of salvation a lot and what is so cool is remembering... Read more

The Parable of the Jell-O | Daylen Bushman

The New Testament Come Follow Me lessons have recently focused on many of the parables Jesus taught to his apostles and disciples during his mortal ministry.  Those same parables have helped each of us learn lessons that are easily applied into our lives.  I would like to expound on a little known, and recently learned, parable that I refer to as the Parable of the Jell-O.
