Videos


My family had the opportunity to be a part of this project. It is a beautiful video. I am so grateful that we got do this and share our faith and testimony of the Savior with so many other wonderful LGBTQ+ Church members. 



Earlier this year we shared our story through the Voices of Hope Project, and it was officially launched on September 14, 2019. It was an incredible experience, and despite feeling the vulnerability that comes with it we are excited.

 I highly recommend that you read our accompanying essays with the videos on our profile found on the Voices of Hope page on the North Star website. 

 Here is the highlighted version.

A Mother’s Day Tribute

Who is She? Who is She? That stood in the halls of the Gods Whose voice rang out with courage  To defend the Plan and the right  To choose progression over oppression Who is She? Who was God’s culminating creation  Remembered eternal truths  And partook of the fruit So that we might be Who is She? That spoke to an angel Became a chosen vessel And delivered Him in birth So that He could deliver us all  Who is She? Who was a sinner But recognized the Savior And offered her tears and hair To prepare Him for the cross Who is She?

Who loves despite betrayals Forgives and heals wounds Defends the v...

The Women in My Life

Last year I shared this truth spoken by Gordon B. Hinckley, former president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and shared it again just yesterday in honor of International Women's Day: "When the process of creation occurred, Jehovah, the Creator...divided the light from the darkness...then separated the land from the waters. There followed the creation of plant life, followed by the creation of animal life. Then came the creation of man, and culminating that act of divinity came the crowning act, the creation of woman." A good friend of mine shared this piece of art that touched me deeply, and I keep is saved on my phone.

Who's Really to Blame?

It's been over a week now since the protest-turned-riot at the Capitol Building in Washington DC. I have spent the last week trying to digest what occurred. I've read and watched the coverage and opinions of several media outlets. I've read the many opinions of social media. I've tried to look at what happened from as many angles and sides as I could to better understand what happened, how it happened, and how we came to this point as a country.  The inauguration of the 46th President of the United States will occur this coming Wednesday. This is not just a special event for US Citizens. It is a special and sacred event for the world, because the United States is the symbol of freedom, democracy, and peaceful transition of power. Many of my ancestors helped to settle and build this great country. My blood is as American as any person of Western European descent could possibly be. I am proud of that. I thank God often that I was blessed to be born and raised in this b...
