I have been blogging with ideas you can use like puzzle pieces or building blocks to put together to make a creative and ordered life for yourself -- a functioning whole. Puzzle pieces, building blocks . . . you can also imagine a dial that is used for tuning -- sometimes tuning dials just need tiny adjustments; sometimes more. I want to talk about those greater adjustments to that dial. Sometimes we need to make choices and designs that are major, and until we do make tho... Read More

Question: Did God pick Jesus’ plan of salvation over Lucifer’s plan? Response: Another great question, Ken. First off, there were not two plans presented in the pre-mortal council. God the Father (Elohim) presented the plan of salvation (that’s what we call the overall plan and purpose of this life). Jesus offered to fulfill the plan by being the savior of mankind in the Father’s plan. Satan also volunteered, but demanded the throne of the Father in return. He also wanted to... Read More
