  • The Principle Won, always.

    While reading in “Shattered Dreams” by Irene Spencer, I came upon a paragraph that struck a cord within me. She is describing the polygamy Principle, which is commonly known by Principle. “A teaching that was to have a grave impact… Continue reading

  • Feeling the Unbounded Heart.

    In Martha Beck's book, "Leaving the Saints" she writes, " I recall its horror and beauty, the enormity of the things I have lost and the incalculable preciousness of the things I have gained. I wouldn't give up the journey… Continue reading

  • Sooner or Later

    I had made a comment that sounds like an oxymoron, “Prisoners of Faith”.  The two don’t seem to mix, and churches seem a far cry from prisons, but in my experience, if you are not free to live, you are… Continue reading
