About

We are the Simmons family! Our bond is unbreakable! We live in gratitude and abundance. We are fun and adventurous. We try new things together and celebrate the important moments. We take good care of our bodies and master them. We seek, speak up, and testify of truth fearlessly. We seek to lead someone to Christ each day. We leave people better than we find them and allow others the dignity of their own process. We forgive. We defeat the powers of darkness. (Boys shout): We protect the queens! We live in joy and freedom and greet grimaces with smiles. We are first and firmest to follow the prophet. We are diligently obedient. We are steadfast and immovable! We are lifters! We are disciples! We are Zion builders! We are the Simmons Family!

Favorite saying

• ""Mother's who know..spend more time as a family eating together, more time working together, more time reading together, more time talking, laughing, singing and exemplifying. These mothers choose carefully and do not try to choose it all" -J. Beck "The future duties to be given to some of us in the world's to come by a omniscient and loving God will require of us an earned sense of esteem as well as proof of our competency. Thus the test given to us here are given not because God is in doubt as to the outcome, but because we need to grow in order to be able to serve with full effectiveness in the eternity to come. Further, to be untested and then unproven is also to be unaware of all that we are. If we are unknowing of our possibilities, with what could we safely be entrusted? Could we in ignorance of our capabilities trust ourselves? Could others then be entrusted to us? Thus the relentless love of our Father in heaven is such that in His omniscient, He will not allow the cutting short some of the brief experience as we are having here. To do so would be to deprive us of everlasting experiences and great joy there. What else would an omniscient and loving father do, even if we plead otherwise? He must at time say no.......Neal A. Maxwell A Disciples Reality Check 1. Do my words hurt or strengthen? 2. Do my words marginalize or divide or unify? 3. Does the Spirit tell me to pause and reconsider better words? 4. Do I see others through God’s eyes and regard them as part of the solution? 5. Do I honor others’ agency? 6. What does the Spirit tell me about their hearts? 7. What words and tone would Jesus Christ use? 8. Do I speak truth in love? 9. Am I patient with the progressive understanding and path of others? 10. Do I forgive others and myself? 11. Do I love and pray for all in the arena? 12. Do I trust God and submit to his will and timing? 13. Do I recognize my spiritual gifts and accept my stewardship? 14. Am I pressing forward, steadfast in Christ, feasting upon his words about this issue? 15. Do I allow the Holy Ghost to tell me what to do and how to do it? The linked blog quotes Adam Miller. Don’t ask the thin question: “Is the Church true?” Ask the thick question: Is this the body of Christ? Is Christ manifest here? Is this thing alive?"
