Preserving Your Testimony

Here is an excellent example of writing down and preserving your personal testimony for family members to enjoy.  Read what my Aunt Lin did to preserve her conversion story, in an article she had published in Deseret Saints Magazine, April 2009 Edition.

12 Days of Easter Countdown and April Writing Prompt

I am doing a 12 Days of Easter Countdown on my blog starting today...check it out if you'd like to follow along...I'll be including verses of scripture from both the New Testament and The Book of Mormon that tell the story of the week leading up to Christ's Atonement through His resurrection.  Easter is a wonderful time to contemplate Christ's sacrifice for us.

For April's writing prompt, you are invited to bear testimony of Jesus Christ in some written way, either in a journal, as a comment or a blog post, or even as a letter written to your family or children.  Happy Easter to all.

A Brand New Year

Hello Fellow Writers - 

So, we've all been a little (lot) busy over the last little while, but we are done with Christmas now...and having babies (for now)...etc...and hopefully, we can squeeze in a little bit more time for writing in 2009.

You know I try to keep things simple here, so the first writing prompt of the new year is fairly straight-forward:

What do you want 2009 to be about for you?  (Yes, it's goal-setting time!)  Instead of writing about specific goals...I want you to write (in whatever format you deem appropriate) about your vision for yourself in the new year.  Think big picture, here.

For example:  I have chosen a "theme" for my new year.  That way I can keep my goals focused on accomplishing my one big idea.  Honestly, I sort of borrowed my theme from a song called "Say Yes" that I downloaded from the new church Youth website "A Brand New Year".

Many of you are probably already thinking along these lines anyway, so this will just be a continuation of your thought process.  Now get blogging/journaling/creating/writing...and hopefully this will mark the end of radio silence on here! :)  Happy New Year!
