Today in our Ward Conference our Bishop brought up an idea to have a Personal Rescue Scripture for when you find yourself in a time of distress and turmoil. I share a few of my favorites, with many more to come in the the episodes ahead, and I talk a bit about why these scriptures have found their way into my heart. I hope that each of you can find…

Merry Christmas to everyone, I hope it is a wonderful time of year surrounded by people you love in the spirit of love, giving, charity, and above all Christ.
