Lenna Panisi Loveridge was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, and currently lives in Colorado with her husband and six children. You may find it interesting that she has a BS in political science from the University of Utah, but it’s just as important that you know she was regularly featured on Tamara Uzelac Hall’s quote wall during those heady U of U days. Lenna is studying the Tongan language to increase fluency so she can follow up her favorite question, “Ko ho’o Alu ki fe?” (Where are you going?) with “Please bring me a sandwich and a Diet Coke before you do.” Lenna feels a deep and abiding connection to her Tongan ancestors; for their faith enough to move mountains and especially for their faith to move TO the mountains. For which she is so grateful.

Recentering Our Lives on Jesus

One thing we all yearn for is a closer connection with the Savior. A question we might often find ourselves asking, “how do I recenter my life on Jesus?” It's a question that Patricia Holland also asked herself. And when she was pondering this question, she had this thought come into her mind, “You don’t have to worry over so many things. The one thing that is needful—the only thing that is truly needful—is to keep your eyes toward the sun—my Son.” Suddenly I had true peace. I knew that my life had always been in his hands—from the very beginning! The sea lying peacefully before my eyes had been tempest-tossed and dangerous—many, many times. All I needed to do was to renew my faith, and get a firm grasp on his hand—and together we could walk on the water.”

Gary Crittenden: The Weekly Habit That Changed Everything

Covey’s “First Things First,” Gary developed a habit to help him keep his priorities straight and on this week’s episodes he shares the ways this practice has helped him in his efforts to become a better disciple of Jesus Christ, a better husband, father, and son.
