All I Possess

Leaving behind false traditions in search of the true Jesus

  • Anti-Mormon Literature

    I had a Facebook friend message me and ask “Have you been reading anti-Mormon literature?” I replied, “Yes. It’s called The Bible.” I left the church by reading the Book of Mormon, the Bible, the Joseph Smith papers, and other historical documents. I never read anything trying to tear down the church until I was Continue reading

  • Good Memories

    This picture is hanging up in my family room. As I’ve considered purging various LDS related materials and wall hangings in my home, this one gives me pause. It made me realize something. It’s the Las Vegas temple (where I grew up and was married) with the backdrop of the strip lit up. This has Continue reading

  • When You Didn’t Know You Were Lost

    I just want to share a couple songs I relate to that touched me this week ❤️ Wide Awake by Ben Fuller I had a dream that I was walkingMiddle of nowhere on my ownI didn’t care where I was goingI never knew a place called homeOut in the desert, I was waitingI’d never wandered Continue reading

  • The Moment When Wind Meets Fire

    In Acts 2, a rushing wind of the Holy Spirit comes upon the believers. No hands were placed on anyone’s head; it was purely spontaneous. My whole life, I’ve never really understood this LDS claim of exclusive rights to the “gift of the Holy Ghost.” I was aware enough to know the Holy Ghost was Continue reading

  • The Importance of a Core Book 2

    Yeah, I know it’s been a month, but I finally looked up President Nelson’s conference talk so I could know what people are referring to when they quote him. So here are some of my thoughts on his talk. First, I shared my thoughts about seeking Jesus and finding Him in the temple. Another thing Continue reading

  • Sincere Seeker of Jesus Christ

    I wrote in My Story how I attended the temple every day last fall, seeking Jesus. Just like President Nelson said recently — “Here is my promise to you: Every sincere seeker of Jesus Christ will find Him in the temple. You will find answers to your most vexing questions.” — I indeed did find Continue reading

  • Hell Lost Another One

    I’m laying down to put my little one to bed tonight, listening to these words: “It’s Your breath in our lungs. So we pour out our praise, We pour out our praise.” Wow. It’s true. My breath doesn’t even belong to me. It’s His. And I’m bought with a price. He bought my sins, paying Continue reading

  • Raw & Real Prayer

    Every morning my husband will approach me and ask to have a prayer together, usually before we leave the bedroom. But yesterday he grabbed in me in the kitchen while I was chopping vegetables. I paused, and he prayed over me and my family. My eyes had been teary from cutting the onions but now Continue reading

  • Does the Temple Increase Our Understanding of Jesus Christ?

    Just read a talk from 2021 by Russell Nelson. Pretty disturbed by it, to be honest. I only made it halfway through cuz I couldn’t take it anymore. But let’s dig in. He begins by giving us a truth: that you need a firm foundation in Jesus Christ. And then we veer off into blatant Continue reading

  • Rocky Places, Deserts and Salt Lands

    I’ve been loving reading my Bible lately. I always loved my Book of Mormon, but after a long day, tiredness would always win. But lately I’ve been exhausted, on my way to bed, and then sitting to read my Bible and before I know it, it’s been 45 minutes! My Bible conveniently sits on a Continue reading
