Smart Choices

Welcome to the Neighborhood News
Tomorrow’s blessings and opportunities depend on the choices we make today.
President James E. Faust

The great thing about this life is that we’re here to make our own choices. For good or bad, they’re ours to make, unless we allow others to make them for us.
Elder Faust said in his talk Choices, in the April 2004 Ensign:
“In this life we have to make many choices. Some are very important choices. Some are not. Many of our choices are between good and evil. The choices we make, however, determine to a large extent our happiness or our unhappiness, because we have to live with the consequences of our choices. Making perfect choices all of the time is not possible. It just doesn’t happen. But it is possible to make good choices we can live with and grow from. When God’s children live worthy of divine guidance they can become “free forever, knowing good from evil; to act for themselves and not to be acted upon.”
Please tell us what are your thoughts in this matter.

As a published author and mother of three, she has a deep passion for both of these interests. In her article, “Reflections on Reading,” Rachelle expresses her strong belief in the responsibility parents have to share the magic of the written word with their children. (more…)
What are Independent Publishers and Authors to do?
0The LDS market just became a little easier for independent LDS publishers and authors.This past summer, the major retailer in the LDS market made the decision to only carry the books of their own authors on the shelves of their stores. They included subsidiaries as well. They then scooped up all the books from independent publishers and sent them back, driving several out of business. The LDS market was looking a little dismal at that point. (more…)
