Home Visions and Reality

My sweetheart Coleen has a vision for what is important to create a beautiful home and yard. When we purchased our home in 1993 the yard did not look like what Coleen wanted it to look like. Little by little we have worked and changed it to better meet her vision. My efforts have been primarily to provide some of the brute force that has been required because so far, I do not have the vision to see the final result that Coleen does.

April 2024 Prep Step: Eggs

https://www.incredibleegg.org tells us that: Eggs are an all-natural, nutrient-dense source of high-quality protein. Each large egg contains six grams of protein and is a good or excellent source of eight essential nutrients all for just 70 calories and less than 1 gram of carbohydrates. Because of their nutrient content, eggs can play a role in weight management, muscle strength, brain function, eye health, and more.
Nutrition research has revealed that eating eggs with salad increases the absorption of vitamin E by seven times. Additionally, the same researchers at Purdue University published another study showing the absorption of carotenoids from a salad was improved by adding a cooked egg.
Bottom line — put an egg on it!

The Art of Financial Planning: Building a Solid Foundation

Some people avoid financial planning because they feel overwhelmed by all the numbers. Whether you suffer from the very real condition of arithmophobia or you simply don’t feel like you understand enough about finances to tackle your own, then this article is for you. We’ll look at financial planning through the lens of an artist painting a masterpiece. Each stroke of the brush, each color choice, and each stroke of genius adds depth and life to the canvas, and in the realm of finance, every financial decision and strategy contributes to the complex tapestry of your financial life. The key to creating this kind of masterpiece for yourself is to build a solid financial foundation, a base that supports and enhances everything else. Below, we’ll discuss how to begin.

Practical Courses with Spiritual Benefits

The Lord has said, “It is my purpose to provide for my saints . . . but it must needs be done in mine own way” (Doctrine and Covenants 104:15, 16). This is a promise that Heavenly Father will help take care of His children as they follow Him. Self-reliance does not mean that we can accomplish or obtain anything we want. If we are self-reliant we believe that through the power of Christ, and through our own effort, we can work for the spiritual and practical needs of life. Many people can become more self-reliant. With Self Reliance Groups much of the work takes place in small groups that combine spiritual principles with practical skills.

The next Self-Reliance Groups are scheduled to begin in September 2024. Groups will be organized based on individual interests.
