I think we’ve all had those moments where we do something embarrassing or something embarrassing happens to us. We might feel completely humiliated and want to hide. Someone might make a comment about how you’ve now been humbled. Yet, are you really feeling humble, or are you just feeling like you’ve been humiliated? Understanding What…… Continue reading Am I Being Humble Or Am I Feeling Humiliated?

The Valentine Writer: Helping Others Find Love (3.5 Stars)
I recently finished reading The Valentine Writer by Iris Lim. It’s a novella about a lady, Mary Danforth, who has helped her siblings write love poems for their future spouses. Yet, she’s never found love herself. Periodwise, I would consider it a Regency story, but it doesn’t have many of the elements of a traditional…… Continue reading The Valentine Writer: Helping Others Find Love (3.5 Stars)
New Church Definition of a Young Single Adult
Yesterday, the LDS church announced that they are redefining “Young Single Adults” as it applies to unmarried members of the church. Previously, Young Single Adults (YSA) were unmarried members of the church who are 18-30 years old. They’ve now upped that to include those up to 35 years old. Being in a Single Adult (SA)…… Continue reading New Church Definition of a Young Single Adult
Prompted by the Spirit and It Ends Badly
I recently read an article where someone asked Elder Bednar how they can trust God when they’ve followed a prompting that didn’t work out. I wouldn’t say that a prompting that doesn’t go well would cause me to lose trust in God. Unfortunately, though, when I feel prompted to do something, and I follow that…… Continue reading Prompted by the Spirit and It Ends Badly
Sacred Versus Secret: Do They Mean the Same Thing?
Lately, I’ve been thinking about the difference between sacred and secret. On the surface, some people may think that something that is sacred is secret. After all, things that we hold sacred are things that we often don’t share with other people. Yet, I think it’s important to differentiate between the two. I don’t have…… Continue reading Sacred Versus Secret: Do They Mean the Same Thing?
Friends With Secrets: Hide Your True Self? (5 Stars)

This was a First Reads book for July, which means that from now until the end of the month, you can get it for free if you have Amazon Prime or for $1.99 if you don’t. This is…… Continue reading Friends With Secrets: Hide Your True Self? (5 Stars)
Abish: A Woman of Faith
Over the last few weeks, in “Come Follow Me,” we’ve been studying the stories of people such as Alma the Younger, Ammon, King Lamoni, and Lamoni’s father. These are names well-known by most people who’ve read the Book of Mormon, especially those who have read it multiple times. Almost hidden in Alma 19, is a…… Continue reading Abish: A Woman of Faith
Psychopathic: Stalker, Blind, Strange Medical Practices (4 Stars)
I recently finished reading an ARC of Pyschopathic by Jason Melby. This book comes out on January 10, 2025. It’s about Faith Galloway, a blind psychiatrist. Don’t worry. The book isn’t as crazy as the title or the book cover implies. While I would consider this book suspenseful and a little creepy at times, the…… Continue reading Psychopathic: Stalker, Blind, Strange Medical Practices (4 Stars)
