It's All Good

The Life & Times of Lisa Brown

“. . . the joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives. When the focus of our lives is on God’s plan of salvation . . . and Jesus Christ and His gospel, we can feel joy regardless of what is happening—or not happening—in our lives. Joy comes from and because of Him. He is the source of all joy⁠“

— Pres. Russell M. Nelson

  • My Big Boy

     I just couldn't get over how grown-up Derek looked today in this football jersey.  I have had it in the drawer, thinking it was way too big for him still, but as you can see, it fits just right.  He… Continue reading
