Being Anchored in the Book of Mormon by HDDMFB
Dear Friends seeking recovery in and through here-and-now application of the Savior’s offer of Atonement, . . .
The following post is the journal record of this morning’s dialogue with the Lord. In all humility I share it here. I have no intent or desire except to encourage and invite you to embrace the truth that [...]
THIS IS HOW IT ALL BEGAN . . . Not With My Righteousness, but with HIS
THIS IS HOW IT ALL BEGAN . . .
August 2, 2009
As I knelt down, this morning, to offer my formal “opening prayer” for the day to Heavenly Father, I automatically (20 years of imperfect buy persistent repetition) reached for my pen and notepad. I had to smile as the recognition whispered through [...]
What the Lord Taught Me About My Motives–How Easy It is to Be Proud of Being “Good”
April 1, 2009
I have another hour to go to cooperate with the Lord in His purpose that I give Him the first “tithe” of my day–or in other words the first 2 ½ hours. I am not being coerced. I am not faking it. I have been persuaded, I will admit, by the deficit of [...]
Thy Word is a Lamp Unto my Feet . . .
Good morning, dear friends in recovery. You may not believe this, but the truth is we are all–including you–actually in recovery from the first day we begin to desire it and to seek it. These words spoken by the Lord to Daniel (Daniel 10:12), can be likened unto each of us as soon [...]

In response to another Heart t’ Heart forum post, last week, I wrote the following:
Dear Sister,
Thank you. In revealing Truth to each of us, it is so true that the Lord is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and He is no respecter of persons. Through the Holy Spirit our hearts and minds can be [...]
JUST HOW “LITTLE” A “LITTLE CHILD” I MUST BECOME
“Become as a little child”–to me that phrase is translated into this reality from God’s words to my heart:
Colleen, trust me enough to lay down and become an infant so young that you can not even crawl to follow me. All you can do is lay on your back, 100% helpless with out me [...]
Hearing the Lord’s Counsel Through the Book of Mormon
I’d like to share what the Lord taught me this morning as I reflected on a recent experience at a HtH face-to-face meeting. There were a couple of newcomers there, and I was so tempted to negative thinking and searing self-consciousness because of my current weight. So ashamed that I don’t look “recovered” (i.e. thinner). [...]

Prayer and Meditation (for me) is not an emptying of my mind, but rather a filling of it with mutual respect for my truth and God’s . . .

I’ve been reading texts, lately, that either skirt the edges or plunge right in, “head, shoulders, knees and toes,” to the forms of meditation that [...]
What the Lord Taught Me About Avoiding Despair
This morning, between 4:30 and 6:00 a.m., it came to pass that I woke up and began to address my thoughts to God. I perceived His invitation to take the opportunity to go upstairs to one of our empty rooms, and spend some time “in retreat” with Him. I got up, dressed, took my scriptures [...]

This morning, I was led to read, highlight and capture once again, from the following phrase from the Title Page of the Book of Mormon:
“Written by way of commandment and also by the spirit of prophecy and of revelation”
It is the most miraculous thing to do something—to live your life, any part of your life—not [...]
