Character Traits are His Divine Attributes

August 26, 2022 / Susan Christensen / Leave a comment

Elder Neal A. Maxwell tells us as we choose to act like Jesus Christ, the more we will understand it is the only way to be our truly authentic selves: "We are to become like Jesus virtue by virtue, experience by experience. There is neither another objective nor any other way. And once we desire … Continue reading Character Traits are His Divine Attributes

The Book of Mormon Teaches Character

August 20, 2022 / Susan Christensen / Leave a comment

In the Book of Mormon we read how  2060 stripling [young like a new stripling tree] warriors were strengthened spiritually and emotionally  for years on the inside of themselves, before they went into physical battle:  "They were exceedingly valiant for courage and also for strength and activity but behold this is not all, they were … Continue reading The Book of Mormon Teaches Character

Learning to Work On Our Weaknesses

June 17, 2022 / Susan Christensen / Leave a comment

Sometimes we aren’t even aware of what we are lacking in when it comes to our communication skills. I am an extrovert, and love being with people. However,  I was a champion “stonewaller” at the beginning of our marriage, meaning I would just clam up and go silent when I got triggered or upset.  I … Continue reading Learning to Work On Our Weaknesses

The Gap and The Gain

May 14, 2022 / Susan Christensen / Leave a comment

In the day to day of life it is sometimes hard to find the why. Why do bad things happen to me? How can I endure pain and suffering? Why do I have to work so hard? Why do some people seem to glide though life? I posted here about Clayton Christensen's 3 questions to … Continue reading The Gap and The Gain

The Power of Habit

April 29, 2022April 30, 2022 / Susan Christensen / Leave a comment

This is a repost from 2018. I reposted it last week, but it didn't post. I am here to make amends on that. My bad. I woke up this morning and immediately made the bed. Our rule is, the last one out makes it. I automatically made the bed. I didn’t have to use any … Continue reading The Power of Habit

Educate Our Children About Unhealthy Substances

January 21, 2022 / Susan Christensen / Leave a comment

We know energy drinks aren’t healthy because of the amount of caffeine and the sugar added to mask the bitterness of the caffeine. Research has shown that energy drinks are consumed by 31 percent of 12-17 year-olds--One third of teenagers!  Teenagers say they think  of energy drinks as a healthy switch from soda. If it … Continue reading Educate Our Children About Unhealthy Substances

Ten Rules of French Food Education

January 14, 2022 / Susan Christensen / Leave a comment

Being a daughter of my Great Depression-era parents, I grew up learning not to waste food. Some people call it "The Clean Your Plate Club". My husband had a similar experience with food with his family . It's not a club you want to belong to, and I have apologized to my children for initially, … Continue reading Ten Rules of French Food Education

A New Creature In Christ

December 2, 2020 / Susan Christensen / Leave a comment

Joy of all joys! My son is returning from his mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Days Saints. Today! At 2:33 p.m. to be precise. I have ordered a banner, balloons, borrowed more signs from my kind neighbor, and killed a fatted calf--okay, a pork roast from Costco will be in the crockpot. … Continue reading A New Creature In Christ

“Honest, Simple, Solid, True”

June 26, 2020 / Susan Christensen / Leave a comment

I was in the Provo  LDS Temple in February for my temple shift. I was seated at the south side of the front door, greeting people as they came in. I noticed an older man, probably in his eighties, and realized it was Terry Warner, author of The Bonds That Make Us Free: Healing Our … Continue reading “Honest, Simple, Solid, True”

Training the Guests in Our Very Own Homes

June 12, 2020 / Susan Christensen / Leave a comment

A friend said to a group of us last week, "I am not complaining about my children that still live at home, I am struggling with my adult children who have come back to live with me because of Covid 19." I asked her if they help with meals and she said, "They help...", her … Continue reading Training the Guests in Our Very Own Homes
