My Mustard Seed

If you haven't seen the recent new "HomeFront" spots from the LDS church on the family, it's well worth taking 2-3 minutes to see the two new spots. I don't watch a lot of TV (and rarely see these clips in my Arizona TV market anyway), but they are available through Bonneville Communications Youtube channel. I've embedded them here as well:

Some Swashbuckling Fun

Cowboy Heroics

There is also a great post on LDS Media Talk that outlines some of the great church video resources that are available online. Well worth checking out!

Making decisions, especially the important ones, can be challenge (it certainly is for me). Learning to make decisions with the Lord's help is a tremendous comfort, but how can we do it effectively. Is there a pattern? President Marion G. Romney shared his pattern for decision-making in the Lord's way in this manner"

1. From my youth I have searched the scriptures.
2. I have tried to honestly face the challenge or question presented with a sincere desire to solve it as Jesus would solve it.
3. I have, through diligent study and prayer, sought to weigh alternatives in light of what I knew about gospel principles.
4. I have made a decision in my own mind.
5. I have then taken the matter to the Lord, told him the problem, told him that I wanted to do what was right in his view, and asked him to give me peace of mind if I have made the right decision”1

What happens though, when we diligently study it out, beseech the Lord's guidance through prayer, and yet feel no firm answer come into our heart and mind?
