The Countdown Begins

. . . and I'm not talking about Christmas.

There are only a few short days left in my 25th year. It is kind of blowing my mind and I really and starting to feel old and I cant even believe it!

I mean, it certainly isn't a bad thing and I like to think that I have accomplished a lot of great things in my 25 years of living. I am a college graduate, a wife, a mother, and countless other things. It has been a great 25 years and I can honestly say I don't regret any of it!

Life is great and I guess I need to stop looking back and look forward to the next 25 and hopefully they will be even better!

Okay, this is me struggling with math. Are you turning 25, or 26? I always thought you and I were the same age - and I turned 25 in September, so I thought you were turning 25. Now I'm just plain confused! Either way, Happy early Birthday, and I hope I get to talk to you! :)

The Light of the World

I was asked to give a talk yesterday in church. Kinda daunting knowing it was Christmas Sunday, but I think it went pretty well. I like remembering my talk so I'm throwing it up here mainly for my own record. But maybe it will bless the lives of others too. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and that the Light of Christ will be upon you and radiate from you now and forever. Jesus Christ: The Light of the World Rebecca’s talk given on 12/20/2015 Jesus Christ. Can a topic be any broader? I have spent a lot of time over the last 6 weeks trying to decide what direction I wanted to go and I kept going back to the same thought, Jesus is the light of the world. This is not an insignificant statement, but very profound and very important. Let’s start from the beginning. Many Prophets have testified of the fact that Jesus Christ is the light of the world long before the Savior was even born. The very first sign of his bir...

Because God Love's Us

How is Christ’s Birth Significant to me Talk on 12/20/2020 Good Morning Brothers and Sisters & Merry Christmas! Heavenly Father must know my preferred method for giving a talk is procrastinating because I have been called to fill in last minute on many occasions. However, this is the first time it’s happened on Christmas Sunday. But I am happy to be here with you and I’m so grateful for technology that allows us to meet and worship together, especially during this Christmas season. I’m not gonna lie, this is weird speaking on zoom. I much prefer being together and making eye contact with you and seeing your encouraging smiles. So please bear with any awkwardness I may have. When initially asked to speak, Brother Smith gave me the topic of “How Christ’s birth is significant to me.” My initial response was, could that topic be any broader? But then gratefully he followed it up with “Particularly from the prosp...

Kid's Talks

Riley’s Primary Talk on Baptism 3/15/20 Today I want to talk on Baptism. Being baptized is a commandment from Heavenly Father. We have to be baptized to make it back to Him. Even Jesus Christ was baptized. If Jesus Christ was baptized we should be baptized too. When we turn 8 years old we can choose to follow Jesus Christ’s example and be baptized too. When we are baptized and confirmed we become members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. If you have already been baptized, you should remember the covenants, or promises you made. If you have not been baptized, you should study and pray and keep the commandments so that when you turn 8 years old you will be ready. We should all remember how important baptism is. I am really excited I get to be baptized next year. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen Faith Parker’s Talk 2/16/20 Today, my talk is going to be about f...
